Tel Aviv

The Jaffa Clock Tower, dating back to the Ottoman period, is one of seven clock towers that were constructed in Ottoman Palestine. Positioned at the entrance to the Old Jaffa district, it serves as a popular meeting point for city tours and is one of Tel Aviv's most recognisable landmarks.

The heart of Old Jaffa, Kikar Kedumim (Hebrew for 'Square of ancient times') is an ancient central square and an essential stop for anyone touring the city. With the city port on one side and Old Jaffa streets on the other, Kikar Kedumim is the perfect departure point for a Tel Aviv city tour. Do not miss its centrepiece fountain, as well as souvenir shops and eateries in the area.

The Neve Tzedek neighbourhood, once home to renowned artists and writers, retains much of its historical charm today. The area is now known for its avant-garde design stores, fashion boutiques, and artisanal shops. Be sure to visit the weekly farmers' market at HaTachana, a restored railway station. Enjoy a meal at trendy European restaurants, relax with a cold drink at stylish bistros, and explore the vibrant nightlife with jazz bars and cocktail lounges.

The promenade of Tel Aviv is a picturesque waterside stretch. The 5 km long shore is an unmissable location for anyone visiting the city. Take a romantic walk with your significant other or just sit down and relax while watching the waves crush the shore.

One of the most popular museums in Tel Aviv, the Museum of Art hosts an ever-changing selection of excellent exhibitions. With a display of Israeli and contemporary art, design and architecture, and even photography, the museum truly has something to offer any visitor.

Suzanne Dellal Centre is a dance and theatre space with an inviting open-air garden, a venue popular with both locals and visitors. The Centre boasts an ever-changing offer of professionally staged performances, so do check the website for schedules when you're in town.

Hayarkon Park is the perfect place to get away from the busy streets of the city. It's located just right outside downtown Tel Aviv and is very popular with residents for its sports facilities, scenic areas and a pond. World-renowned musicians (from The Rolling Stones to Justin Bieber) have performed here at different points in time.

Charles Clore Park, situated along the Mediterranean Sea, is a popular destination for both locals and visitors. It's an ideal spot for a leisurely afternoon with friends or family, offering opportunities for barbecuing, playing ball games, biking along the scenic promenade, or simply relaxing in the sun. The park was established on the site of the former Al-Manshiyya neighbourhood, a historic Palestinian area that was demolished in the 1960s to make way for the development of the new central business district (CBD).

Just outside the city, you can bump into the largest number of animals in a safari park in the Middle East. Gorillas, hippos, lions and elephants are just some of the 1600 species of animals waiting for you. Don't miss the chance to visit this place if you are in town.

Located just outside Tel Aviv, the Givatayim Observatory provides an opportunity to explore the night sky and its stars. The observatory offers educational lectures and courses for both children and adults. With a knowledgeable and friendly staff, visitors can get answers to their questions about astronomy and the cosmos.
