A Complete Guide to Tel Aviv

Read our travel guide on Tel Aviv (TLV) in Israel for first-time travelers. Includes best things to do and see, tips on where to stay, how to get, or when to go.

Also known as the White City, Tel Aviv in Israel was one of the most captivating places we've ever visited.

The city is known for its excellent cuisine, golden-sand beaches, fascinating culture, cosmopolitan vibes, and famed nightlife.

Due to its energetic heart that never stops beating, Tel Aviv is a must-visit place for all types of travelers.

The sensation that runs through the city's air is hard to describe. It has to do something with the fact that Tel Aviv receives over three hundred sunny days a year, and the city has some really cool beaches.

Yes, the beach life is a vital part of Tel Aviv's essence, and it looks like the locals really can take advantage of it and know how to seize the day.

At the end of a long day, while chilling on the beach, we both agreed that the first impression of Tel Aviv was simply great.

And honestly, I can't think of many places around the world that would have such a huge impact on our first impression.

Simply put, Tel Aviv is one of those places that make you want to stay here longer, for a few more days or even weeks.

And despite its reputation of being one of the most expensive cities in the world, we still believe that you can visit Tel Aviv on a budget. Well, sort of, but more about it later.

So here's everything you should know before visiting Tel Aviv before you go.

Tel Aviv is a young and modern city that was founded in 1909 by gathering 66 Jewish families on the beach and using the lottery system to parcel out the land.

However, the history of Jaffa dates back to ancient times.

The old port on the Mediterranean coast had seen the rule of Canaanites, Phoenicians, Romans, Crusaders, Ayyubids, Ottomans, and many more.

Fast forward to modern times, Neve Tzedek was the first Tel Aviv neighborhood.

Later on, Tel Aviv absorbed the historic port of Jaffa. Today, you can often see the name Tel Aviv-Yafo, which is, in fact, the city's full name.

The set of similar-looking buildings known as the White City was built in the 1930s, and today it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The construction of the high-rise buildings and skyscrapers began in the 1960s, changing the appearance of Tel Aviv for good.

The history of Tel Aviv is far more intriguing, and we hope you will have time to learn more about the city yourself.

How to Visit Tel Aviv on a Budget

So is Tel Aviv really that expensive for travelers? Yes, Tel Aviv is not the best travel destination for backpackers and budget travelers.

Still, there are always ways to cut down your travel expenses.

The main expense on your trip will be the accommodation. There is no way around it.

Even the basic bed in a dormitory will not be cheap, so you should plan your travel dates carefully.

On the other hand, there are plenty of free things to do in Tel Aviv, which will help you even out your budget.

As the city is not that large, you can save on transportation as it's easy to get almost anywhere on foot.

Also, try to avoid the beach cafes or restaurants as they are often very pricey due to their exquisite location.

For more information on this topic, make sure to read our guide on visiting Israel on a budget .

What to See and Do

Even though Tel Aviv is often described as a city with incredible nightlife, we have to say that the city doesn't sleep during the day as well.

There are plenty of things to do in Tel Aviv even before dusk, so don't be afraid of getting bored if the nightlife is not your thing.

Right from the start, we have to clarify that Tel Aviv can't compete with Jerusalem in terms of ancient attractions.

Still, even in this modern city, you can find the picturesque albeit small historical center.

Jaffa has been home to Arabs and Jews for centuries, making it a fascinating blend of cultures and architecture.

In fact, Jaffa is considered to be one of the oldest ports in the world, as its history reaches back to ancient times.

Yes, one of the most important things to know before visiting Israel is that the ancient history is on every corner, even in the modern cities.

Built on a hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Jaffa is home to narrow streets and passages, cobblestone alleyways, fascinating stores and art galleries, and Ottoman-era attractions such as the Clock Tower and St. Peter's Church, and many old houses.

Simply put, Jaffa is a perfect place to get lost in a maze of nostalgia, architecture, and history.

If you're a fan of similar places, make sure to also visit the old port area in Akko .

Another popular stop near the Jaffa's church is the Wishing Bridge with the zodiac signs, at least if you're waiting for some of your wishes to be fulfilled.

There is also Ramses Gate, with a small archaeological site nearby.

A fascinating suspended Orange Tree or a lovely Smiling Whale is only a short walk from here.

And if you still have some time to kill, consider visiting the popular flea market in Jaffa.

Don't forget to haggle down the price and bring cash.

Once you're ready to leave the old part, walk back via the promenade to Tel Aviv's modern neighborhoods.

The views of the city skyline, Mediterranean Sea, and sandy beaches are amazing.

It also works vice versa, but the modern buildings will be replaced with the old port dominated by the St. Peter's Church.

Jaffa and Tel Aviv Tour

If you're short on time or want to learn more about the city, you can discover Tel Aviv and Jaffa's art, history, culture, and food on a guided tour.

Here you can reserve a popular Tel Aviv City Tour with a local guide.

Tel Aviv has thirteen beaches, and we have a feeling that everyone will have a chance to find their favorite beach.

The coastal strip that stretches from Herzliya to Bat Yam is fourteen kilometers long and features some top beaches such as Gordon, Hilton, Jerusalem, and Bograshov Beach.

You would need at least a few days to fully explore Tel Aviv's beaches, but the central ones are very nice and more than satisfactory.

Simply put, if you like city beaches, the golden sandy stripes that line the city won't disappoint you.

The local beaches have not only sandy characteristics but also feature free outdoor gyms, volleyball courts, playgrounds, changing rooms, ice-cream vendors, beach bars, chair rentals, and lifeguards.

By the way, the beaches in Tel Aviv face west, so be prepared to arrive there just before the sunset.

Watching the sun setting behind the horizon of the Mediterranean Sea while sitting on a beach was definitely one of the best experiences we had in Tel Aviv.

The best part about Tel Aviv's beaches is that while some parts might be crowded at times, you will always be able to find a place with only a few people around you.

Don't forget that the beaches in Tel Aviv are free, which is really great if you're visiting Israel on a budget.

There are also three very distinctive beaches in Tel Aviv sitting right next to each other.

Hilton Beach is LGBTQ-friendly, Nordau Beach is a gender-segregated beach for religious people, and Dog Beach is obviously a dog-friendly beach.

Tel Aviv Promenade

Also known as Tayelet in Hebrew, Tel Aviv's Promenade runs along the Mediterranean seashore connecting the southern Jaffa Port with Tel Aviv Port in the north.

The distance between these two ports is almost six kilometers, but the walk is well worth the effort. The promenade is one of the best places to visit in Tel Aviv.

Tel Aviv Promenade is popular with joggers, walkers, and families with kids, and it's even wheel-chair friendly.

Walking along the sea is a fun activity to do; just make sure to bring plenty of water with you to stay hydrated.

By the way, Tel Aviv's promenade is a great place for running, cycling, and working out, and the adjacent beaches for water activities, which is awesome if you want to stay fit and active while traveling .

Also, the promenade is popular with cyclists, scooter-riders, or roller-skaters, so watch where you're going.

It's not a secret that Tel Aviv has one of the best nightlife in the world. The 24/7 scene is renowned for a reason.

It's incredibly diverse and easily accessible, and it seems it's constantly changing and getting bigger every year.

From underground techno clubs or small hipster bars to iconic clubs featuring famous DJs, Tel Aviv has it all.

Tel Aviv's beachfront is one of the best places to start exploring the scene, as it sees a lot of tourists from overseas.

Another popular hotspot is the southern end of Rothschild Boulevard and the nearby Lillenblum, Allenby, or Levontin Streets.

Florentin neighborhood is known for art, great food, a bohemian lifestyle, and plenty of hipster bars. You can also find bars in Jaffa and pretty much any other central area of Tel Aviv.

Don't forget that the nightlife in Tel Aviv usually doesn't start before 10 PM.

Neve Tzedek

One of the oldest neighborhoods in Tel Aviv was established by Sephardi Jewish families at the end of the 19th century.

The low-rise buildings in the first neighborhood outside Jaffa walls attracted some prolific writers and artists, including the Nobel Prize winner Shmuel Yosef Agnon.

However, the residents moved out later, the image of the area faltered, and its popularity slowly diminished.

By the 1960s, the city hall wanted to demolish the entire neighborhood as it was neglected and rundown.

However, some buildings were declared heritage sites, and these plans were never realized.

Since the 1980s, the area underwent a complete transformation, making it one of the city's most exciting places to visit.

Today, Neve Tzedek is a quiet and fashionable neighborhood and a perfect place for a leisure walk in Tel Aviv.

This charming neighborhood allows you to escape the hectic city life, and you will find boutique stores, art galleries, hipster cafes, and upscale restaurants here.

Hatachana Old Railway Station

Once you're in Neve Tzedek, don't forget to visit a nearby old but newly renovated railway station. It's a vibrant place with restaurants and cafes and a perfect place to take a break for a while.

Suzanne Dellal Centre for Dance and Theatre

Another noticeable building in this area is Suzanne Dellal Centre for Dance and Theatre, which hosts Israeli and international dance shows.

Whether you try some street food at the local market or visit an upscale restaurant on a rooftop terrace, one thing is certain.

Tel Aviv won't disappoint you when it comes to food.

And we have a feeling that the Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisine is one of those simple things that will keep Tel Aviv in your heart forever.

At least that was our case, though we have to admit that we enjoyed the food in Israel regardless of the destination.

There are tons and tons of great places for eating out in Tel Aviv, ranging from cheap eateries to fine dining restaurants.

The list of the best and most recommended restaurants would be almost endless, and as everyone has different tastes, the only advice we can give you in this regard is to follow your nose.

By the way, Tel Aviv is also a paradise for vegans, and you will find plenty of vegan eateries scattered around the city.

As Tel Aviv has great weather year round and there are no hills in the city, cycling is one of the best ways to get around.

In fact, seeing so many people on bikes and even e-scooters was one of the biggest surprises that Tel Aviv saved for until we stepped into its streets for the first time.

We can't fail to mention that Tel Aviv uses a good bike-sharing system (Tel-O-Fun) that has made this way of getting around more popular than ever.

But the best part about cycling in Tel Aviv is that the city has over a hundred kilometers of designated biking lanes making this activity safe and enjoyable.

This makes biking great not only for getting around the promenade, but you can actually explore even the urban areas that way.

If you're still not undecided, you can try a slowly-paced Tel Aviv Bike Tour with a local guide.

Dizengoff Center

If shopping is one of your main reasons to visit Tel Aviv, then you can't miss Dizengoff Center.

Otherwise, it's still a great place to go if you need something urgently.

The only issue is that it's a giant maze, and getting around is not fun for someone visiting for the first time.

The shopping mall has two buildings connected by a covered bridge, which makes orientation even harder if you're unfamiliar with the layout of the stores.

Tel Aviv Museum of Art

The museum is set in a modern building about a kilometer east of Dizengoff Center, and can be reached on foot.

The museum has plenty of classical and contemporary art to see, so make sure to have enough time to get the most out of your visit.

The classical part includes collections of Picasso, Matisse, Monet, and many more while focusing on impressionists, allowing you to learn more about this movement.

We would say that spending two to three hours in the museum sounds about right.

Thanks to its impressive architecture, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art is worth visiting even if you don't want to go inside.

More importantly, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art is among the best things to do on a rainy day in this city.

Whether it's worth visiting on a beautiful sunny day is a different question, and the answer primarily depends on how big a fan of art you are.

The entrance fee is 50 NIS for an adult, and the museum is open every day except Sundays.

By the way, there are also The Israeli Opera and The Cameri Theater in the same complex.

Ben-Gurion House

Located at the western end of the Sderot Ben Gurion, Ben-Gurion House is a small inconspicuous building that's easily missed when walking along the boulevard.

The personal house of Israel's first prime minister was turned into a museum, and you might have a feeling that you actually stepped inside a huge library.

It also serves as a great introduction to the life of a man who played a crucial part in the birth of the modern-day State of Israel.

There is no entrance fee to Ben-Gurion House, and the museum is open even on Shabbat.

Carmel Market

One of the best markets in Israel, Carmel Market (Shuk HaCarmel), reminds you of a typical Middle-eastern bazaar.

It's crowded, bustling, dirty, and full of goods, foods, shouting, smells, and flavors.

The narrow walkways on busy days before Shabbat when the locals do their shopping here make the market a special place to visit.

We had the opportunity to visit Carmel Market on Friday, and it was a fascinating experience.

Don't forget that the main walkways are only part of the market, and there are plenty of hidden passages in the back that has some really nice restaurants serving all kinds of cuisines.

Whether you come here to buy the local foods, pastries, fruits, veggies, herbs, or some trinkets or souvenirs, you won't leave disappointed.

Even though the market is popular with tourists, it still keeps its authenticity fairly intact, and we believe it's worth visiting.

One of the best things about Carmel Market is that it's free, though you will be tempted to sample some new tastes and flavors.

Hayarkon Park

If you're looking for a peaceful oasis in Tel Aviv to escape the hectic city life, Hayarkon Park is always a great place to go.

Honestly, there is not much to do for tourists, so the park is popular with locals as it's located a bit away from the city center.

It doesn't mean it's not worth visiting, as there is also Rock Garden and Tropical Garden in the eastern part of the park.

The easiest way to see Hayarkon Park from the city center is on a bike, as it's only a short ride from there.

The collection of more than 4000 buildings built in Tel Aviv in the 1930s featuring the Bauhaus and International Style is one of the most extraordinary things to see and do while in the city.

The Jewish architects came, or more precisely, fled from Germany and some other European countries during the rise of the Nazis.

The combination of modern and functional style with inexpensive building materials seemed as a perfect option for Tel Aviv.

The interesting part is that the Bauhaus style was developed in Germany, which has a very different climate from Israel.

Therefore, some crucial changes had to be made in order to adapt to the hot Mediterranean weather.

The buildings had to be painted white to reflect the sun, windows were designed smaller, and walls thicker to keep heat away.

Some of the buildings were even built on pillars to allow wind to blow under the structure.

Today, the White City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. If you're interested in this artistic movement, Tel Aviv is probably the best place in the world to go.

Day Trips from Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv has an excellent location and making day trips from there to explore the Israeli west coast and inland areas couldn't be easier. On top of that, if you are pressed for time or reluctant to rent a car to explore the country’s countryside, this is a perfect way how to see the most Israel has to offer, quite effortlessly.

Caesarea, Haifa, Akko

Explore Caesarea , one of Israel's most famous Roman Ruins, Bahai Gardens in Haifa, Akko's Old City , and limestone grottoes in Rosh Hanikra .

This Caesarea, Haifa, Akko Tour will allow you to see the best of the Israeli Mediterranean Coast in only one day.

Even if you prefer beaches and nightlife over history and religion, we believe you should definitely visit Jerusalem .

And even if it was just for one day, for example, on a day trip from Tel Aviv.

Places such as the Dome of the Rock , Western Wall , or Church of the Holy Sepulchre are on every traveler's itinerary.

Here you can reserve Jerusalem Tour in advance.

Nazareth and Sea of Galilee

There is not a better place in Israel for Christian pilgrims than the Galilee Region.

Visit Nazareth , Tabgha, Capernaum , Mount of Beatitudes, the Church of the Multiplication, and the Sea of Galilee in a day tour from Tel Aviv.

Here you can reserve Nazareth and Sea of Galilee Tour .

The lowest point on Earth, the iconic Masada Fortress , and a hypersaline lake of Dead Sea create together one of the best day trips from Tel Aviv.

Here you can reserve the Dead Sea Tour in advance.

Regardless of whether you visit West Bank from Tel Aviv or Jerusalem, this trip will be an extraordinary experience.

Usually, it makes more sense to take a tour from Jerusalem, but due to some collision of Shabbat with our itinerary, we decided to travel there from Tel Aviv.

Here you can reserve West Bank Tour in advance.

How to Get There

Tel Aviv is a major city in Israel, meaning that it's well-connected with the rest of the country. Therefore, getting to Tel Aviv is very easy regardless of your location.

The easiest way to reach Tel Aviv from the coastal areas such as Haifa, Akko, and Ashkelon is by train.

Traveling to Tel Aviv by train can also be done from inland cities such as Jerusalem, Beersheba, or even Beit Shean.

In fact, the best way to travel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is by train.

The train is modern, fast, and relatively cheap on this route and also makes a stop at the international airport, making it even more convenient than ever.

The only disadvantage is that Tel Aviv's train stations are located a bit from the city center.

Still, Florentin or Neve Tzedek can be reached in 20, respectively, 30 minutes from Tel Aviv Ha'Hagana Station on foot.

Alternatively, you can always take a local bus or a taxi to reach your hotel from the station faster.

Taking a bus is an excellent option if you want to reach Tel Aviv from cities or areas that are not connected with the railway.

For example, you can find a direct bus 390 (Egged) from Eilat to Tel Aviv.

It will take you from Israel's southernmost point to Tel Aviv in about five hours. Similarly, Tiberias can be reached from Tel Aviv or vice versa by bus 836 (Egged).

When traveling by bus around Israel, always try to search for a connection to make your journey as easy as possible.

The Tel Aviv Central Bus Station is a rundown building, so be prepared that the first impression of the White City might be far from idyllic.

While we enjoyed every second of our road trip around Israel , probably our least favorite part was driving around Tel Aviv.

Luckily, we saved it for our last day in Israel, so it wasn't that bad in the end.

Still, the traffic situation around LaGuardia Interchange required a lot of patience from someone who's not used to it.

Jerusalem is about 65 kilometers southeast of Tel Aviv, and the journey takes about an hour (and a half), depending on the current traffic situation.

Haifa is 95 kilometers north of Tel Aviv, while Nazareth is 110 kilometers northeast of the city. Don't forget that driving via Highway 6 is not free, as it has electronic tolls.

Beersheva is 105 kilometers south of Tel Aviv. Ein Bokek , the gateway to the Dead Sea, is 170 kilometers southeast of Tel Aviv.

Here you can find the best rental car deals in Israel .

Getting to Tel Aviv from Ben-Guiron Aiport is extremely easy.

Whether you take a train, bus or a taxi, the journey should take about twenty to thirty minutes.

For more information, make sure to read our guide on how to get from Ben-Gurion Airport .

How to Get Around

Getting around Tel Aviv is very easy, regardless of your favorite way of travel.

Firstly, Tel Aviv is a fairly compact city and can be easily explored on foot.

As Tel Aviv has lots of biking lanes and bike rental stations are everywhere, cycling is another option to get around the city.

This option will allow you to reach all major attractions in the city without any issues. The locals love cycling

Honestly, the combination of walking and cycling is a great way to get around Tel Aviv. Alternatively, you can rent e-bikes or e-scooters, which are also popular in Tel Aviv.

If you travel in a group and the options we've mentioned above don't work for you, taxis are on every corner in Tel Aviv. You can use the Gett app or hail a cab directly on the street.

Tel Aviv also has a good network of buses, but you won't probably find them as useful unless you're staying on the city outskirts.

Moreover, you will need a Rav Kav to use buses in Tel Aviv (and the rest of Israel). The advantage of this smartcard is that you can also use it on trains.

We strongly recommend leaving your car parked safely at your hotel parking this time.

Most of the time, getting around Tel Aviv is a bad idea, as the city has expensive parking and suffers from traffic jams.

Here you will find more information on how to get around Israel .

Due to its coastal location, Tel Aviv is a year-round destination.

However, there are still some important things to consider before booking your flights. Also, don't forget that national and religious holidays can affect your visit.

Thanks to its beaches and perfect climate, Tel Aviv is a great place to visit in summer.

If you want to spend your time lying on a beach, enjoying a drink in a bar, or trying some water activities, summer will be a perfect time for a visit.

For beach lovers, there is probably not a better time to visit Tel Aviv than from June to September.

Even though summer is more than fine in Tel Aviv, the weather in the rest of the country is another critical factor that you must enter into the equation.

Unfortunately, the summer is not the best time for touring Israel. Places such as the Negev Desert or the Sea of Galilee will be scorching.

Spring and Autumn

May and October might be the perfect option for you if you want to enjoy Tel Aviv's beaches and warm weather and still explore the hotter Israel's areas.

We visited Tel Aviv in November and really lucked out on the weather. The sunny days combined with the temperatures in the low 20s were just about right for us.

The only downside was that the sea was pretty refreshing, some might say even cold.

On the other hand, this slight inconvenience was outweighed by the pleasant air temperatures in the rest of Israel.

This is also the best time to visit Israel .

Due to lower temperatures and rainy days, Tel Aviv has a different atmosphere during the winter.

While you won't enjoy the beaches the same way as you would in summer, it might be a perfect time to visit Tel Aviv when traveling on a budget or if you want just to avoid crowds .

There are still plenty of things to do during the winter in Tel Aviv, so you don't have to be afraid that you will get bored here.

Shabbat in Tel Aviv

As you probably already know, Shabbat plays a vital role in Judaism.

However, you should know that there are some specifics that this rest day brings, and some of them are not that great for travelers.

Expect that the public transport is not working on this day in Israel, and plenty of stores or restaurants will be closed.

Interestingly enough, Tel Aviv is a bit different in this regard.

For starters, Tel Aviv introduced several free bus lines on Shabbat, making getting around the city easier than ever, even on this special day.

So what is there to do in Tel Aviv on Shabbat? Most restaurants, cafes, bars, and places of entertainment will be open on Shabbat.

You can always enjoy the local beaches, explore the White City, or get lost in Jaffa.

In fact, Shabbat is the most popular day for visiting the local beaches among locals, so be prepared that you won't have them for yourself.

Moreover, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and Eretz Israel Museum are both open on Shabbat.

And if you ever run out of ideas, you can always consider taking a tour or visiting some nearby national parks that remain open in Israel, even on Shabbat.

Don't forget that even though Tel Aviv is far more open-minded than some other cities in Israel, some places, such as Carmel Market, will still be closed on Shabbat.

What to Pack

As usual, try to avoid overpacking, as Tel Aviv is one of those destinations where you don't need to bring your entire closet with you.

If you're visiting in the peak season, make sure to bring beach accessories.

You should pack a waterproof dry bag , flip-flops , and strong sunscreen .

Of course, a swimsuit will come in handy here as well. Sunglasses and a hat are also some of those items you should not leave home this time.

The dress code in Tel Aviv is very different from the one in Jerusalem, so casual clothing should be more than enough.

As we did a lot of walking in Tel Aviv, comfortable runners are a must-have, as flip-flops are only good for the beach.

The main promenade is a popular place for running, cycling, or working out, so you might want to bring some athletic clothes if you're going to stay active.

Winters in Tel Aviv might be colder than you would probably expect, so make sure to have some warmer layers with you.

The temperature ranges from 5 to 15 Celsius during Tel Aviv's winters, so you might want to check the weather forecast before you go to be prepared for everything.

Also, a light rain jacket or an umbrella might come in handy, especially from November to February, as this period has the highest number of rainy days.

How Many Days for Tel Aviv

In our opinion, two or three days should be enough for Tel Aviv. As usual, it all depends on your preferences and Israel itinerary .

Two full days in Israel will allow you to admire the ancient city of Jaffa, enjoy the beaches, and explore the vibrant restaurant and bar scene.

Three, four, or five days in Tel Aviv are probably a stretch unless you want to base yourself in the city and make day trips from there.

But once again, it all comes down to your travel plans.

If you're really short on time, we believe even one day in Tel Aviv might also work for you. However, seeing Tel Aviv only during the day is half the experience.

Due to its vibrant night scene, it's always recommended to stay in Tel Aviv overnight to see the whole face of the city.

Where to Stay

Keep in mind that Tel Aviv is often regarded as one of the most expensive cities in the world.

From a practical standpoint, finding cheap accommodation in Tel Aviv is tough, if not impossible.

Even the most budget hostels offering a bed in a dormitory or room with a shared bathroom will not be exactly cheap.

Of course, accommodation prices fluctuate troughout the year, so it all depends on many factors.

So what are the best areas to stay in Tel Aviv? Honestly, there are not any wrong answers as every place has its pros and cons.

Some of Tel Aviv's recommended and most popular neighborhoods are Florentin, Tayelet, White City, Neve Tzedek, and Jaffa.

Budget | Abraham Hostel - One of the best and most popular hostels in Tel Aviv, Abraham Hostel is always an excellent option for budget travelers. This hostel has an excellent location, clean rooms, welcoming staff, and offers plenty of activities.

Staying Safe

In general, Tel Aviv is a very safe place to visit. We walked back and forth and never felt uncomfortable while there.

As the city comes really alive after dark, Tel Aviv is also regarded as safe at night.

Of course, use your common sense and avoid shady-looking clubs or individuals. Also, watch your valuables in crowded areas such as Carmel Market.

Still, staying safe in Israel requires some of your attention. And Tel Aviv is not an exception.

And while the city is arguably safer than some other famous destinations in the world crime-wise, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is far from being resolved.

This sad situation can be easily illustrated by the series of terrorist attacks that happened in Tel Aviv in the spring of 2022.

While one of the deadly mass shootings happened outside the main tourist area, the next attack happened on Dizengoff Street, one of the busiest streets in Tel Aviv's city center.

Travel Insurance

We never leave home without travel insurance that was designed to cover our expenses if something goes wrong during the trip.

Travel insurance protects against theft, flight delays, injury, illness, cancellations, and much more.

World Nomads provides travel insurance for travelers to cover their trip essentials, including sports and adventure activities.

SafetyWing is affordable travel insurance for backpackers, long-term travelers, and digital nomads.

Is Tel Aviv Worth Visiting?

As mentioned at the beginning of this blog post, Tel Aviv is one of the most incredible places we've ever been to. And that's not an exaggeration.

So to answer your question, yes, Tel Aviv is definitely worth visiting.

While it lacks Jerusalem's history and attractions, it will show you Israel from a completely different perspective.

As hinted several times throughout this blog post, the difference between traditional Israel and the new modern one is best seen right here.

And as the city is relatively compact, you will be instantly immersed in the city's unique atmosphere.

15 Best Day Trips from Tel Aviv

The coastal city of Tel Aviv is Israel’s effortlessly chic cosmopolitan destination for those looking to catch some rays, indulge in the mouth watering foodie scene, or hit the shops.

The gorgeous beaches alongside the metropolitan comforts of a thriving city make it a world-class destination for visitors.

It’s a hotbed of local culture, where you can find just about anything to keep you entertained.

From UNESCO recognized architecture throughout the city to bustling markets and boutique museums, there’s weeks worth of entertainment.

However, it goes without saying that the true cultural gems are scattered around the coastline, countryside, and deserts around Tel Aviv.

The density and caliber of historical sites in the area is astounding and the opportunity to explore beautiful ruins, mountains and coastal marvels is unmatched.

Let’s have a look at 15 of the best day trips from the popular Israeli city.

1. Jerusalem

Without a doubt one of the most fascinating destinations in the country, Jerusalem is the cultural capital of Israel, as well as the official one.

In less than an hour from Tel Aviv, you can find yourself immersed in the intense and fascinating history of the city’s holy sites, like Temple Mount and the Garden Tomb.

Marvel at the diversity of the Old City as you walk between the Christian and Muslim Quarters, each offering their own delicious street food and distinctive architecture.

Here, you can also lose yourself among some of the best markets in the country; the most popular of which is the bustling Machane Yehuda Market.

The famous Old City of Akko has stood for an incredibly long time, and during this time has been occupied by many different cultures.

From Crusader to Byzantine rulers, a huge number of historical factions have contributed to the story of Akko.

It also happens to be captivatingly beautiful – perched on the coast by the Mediterranean Sea and comprised of pretty, cobbled streets and quaint squares.

As with many worthwhile destinations in Israel, you’ll have the chance to visit colorful markets as well as Arabic shuks, while food comes in the mouth-watering form of fresh fish and world-class hummus locales.

Best value tour : Caesarea, Haifa & Akko Day Trip from Tel Aviv

Another famed and incredibly popular coastal gem to the north of Tel Aviv, Haifa is a diverse mix of gorgeous beaches, thriving nightlife, and cultural diversity.

One of the main attractions is the jaw-dropping Bahai Gardens, a veritable oasis of tropical vegetation that boasts UNESCO Heritage site status and attracts millions of followers of the Bahai religion every year.

Lose yourself amongst the treasure troves of the flea market or spoil yourself with the irresistible combination of Israeli, Arabic and even German street food, each found within the distinct Quarters.

Included in : Caesarea, Haifa & Akko Day Trip from Tel Aviv

The city of Petra is an ancient site that is thought to have been built as early as 500 BC, making it an astronomically old – not to mention fascinating – trip from Tel Aviv; although it’s a little further than most others so you might want to consider an overnight stay.

The rose city is built of multi-colored sandstone and houses staggeringly beautiful gorges known as Al Siq, as well as Egyptian-influenced obelisks golden treasuries.

The highlight is the monumental entrance to Petra, the beautiful Al-Khazneh doorway.

A day trip to Petra is filled with history, beauty, and fascinating sights, so make sure to allot plenty of time to this destination.

Available tour : Petra, Jerash and Amman: 2-Day Tour From Tel Aviv

5. Masada, The Dead Sea, and Ein Gedi

Three stunning sites that can all be seen in the space of a single day trip, the ruins of Masada, the Dead Sea and Ein Gedi are all enchanting destinations that can be found to the east of Tel Aviv.

Start your journey with a scenic drive through the awesome Judean Desert before embarking on a cable car that’ll take you to the ruins of King Herod’s Palace at the summit of Mount Masada.

Then, wander through the captivating oasis of the Ein Gedi Reserve, complete with cascading waterfalls, lush vegetation, and pleasantly shaded cave pools.

Finally, cool off in the nutrient-rich waters of the Dead Sea and experience the restorative properties of the world-famous mud baths found there.

You’ll leave feeling refreshed, rejuvenated, and buzzing from all the incredible things you’ve seen.

Suggested tour : Masada & Dead Sea Tour: Full-Day from Tel Aviv

6. Zichron Ya’akov

One of the top destinations in the country for wine enthusiasts, Zichron Ya’akov is a thriving tourist settlement near Haifa, and boasts a variety of spectacular wineries, including the famed Carmel Winery.

As well as sumptuous vintages, the town offers gorgeous views of the Mediterranean coast and all manner of tempting cafes and restaurants on the pedestrianized main street in the middle of town.

It’s a fantastic place to step it down a notch, slow things down and take time to enjoy some amazing wine with even more amazing views.

7. Caesarea

As its name might suggest, the town of Caesarea was built by the Romans, and as such, is a hotbed of cultural sites that date back to the Roman Empire.

Here you’ll find one of the largest amphitheaters they ever built, amongst the markets and harbors of the ancient settlement.

Its location on the Israeli coast to the north of Tel Aviv made it a historical trade center for the Romans.

Archaeologists and divers are constantly unearthing fascinating finds in the turquoise waters around Caesarea’s pretty shoreline.

Recommended tour : Caesarea, Haifa & Akko Day Trip from Tel Aviv

8. Rosh Hanikra

Further north than Caesarea and even Haifa, Rosh Hanikra is the furthest reachable point on the Israeli Mediterranean coastline.

It’s an incredibly popular geological attraction comprised of sandstone gorges and cave pools, complete with idyllic waterfalls trickling down the stone faces.

You can also take a cable car to the top of the rock faces and enjoy unique views of the shockingly clear Mediterranean waters below.

The region of Galilee is one of the most historically religious areas in the whole of Israel, host to a number of unmissable sites that played important roles in the life of Jesus Christ.

Here you’ll find Nazareth, where he spent his childhood and where you can visit the beautiful Church of Annunciation.

You’ll also have the chance to explore beautiful areas like the Mount of Beatitudes and the gorgeous Sea of Galilee.

Recommended tour : Nazareth, Tiberias & Sea of Galilee Day Trip from Tel Aviv

10. Tiberias

Found on the western shores of the Sea of Galilee, Tiberias deserves an entire day trip to itself, thanks to the fascinating and sometimes contradictory blend of religion, kitschy architecture and beautiful natural surroundings.

Recognised as one of Judaism’s four holy cities, Tiberias is popular amongst tourists and devoted locals, though high rise buildings constructed in the 70’s detract from the beauty of the waterfront.

Just outside of town, you’ll find the gorgeous and irresistible hot springs of Hamei Tveria.

11. Bethlehem

Located on the West Bank, Bethlehem is widely revered as one of the most important places in the story of the Bible, and also as the birthplace of Jesus.

The stunning Church of Nativity is the go-to place if you’re interested in learning more of the story, while history buffs can also explore Greek Orthodox and Catholic churches at their leisure.

You’ll have the chance to lay your eyes on Shepherd’s Field, another famous location from the Bible, as well as Manger Square, thought to have been where Jesus’ Manger was placed.

Available tour : Jerusalem and Bethlehem: Full-Day Trip from Tel Aviv

12. Jericho

Though it’s in the Palestinian Territories, Jericho is a mere couple of hours from Tel Aviv by bus and claims to be the oldest inhabited city in the entire world.

With a claim like that, you can imagine that the sense of history here is incomparable – and you’d be right.

Some artifacts and buildings date as far back as 10,000 BC! From majestic monasteries to the impressive rock faces of the Judean Mountains, the perfect blend of timeless history and awe-inspiring nature to be found in Jericho makes it a hugely worthwhile day trip.

Available tour : Half Day Jericho Tour from Jerusalem

Also hailing back to biblical times and even beyond, Jaffa is one of the world’s oldest ports and couldn’t be easier to reach from Tel Aviv, as it resides only slightly to the south of the city.

Jaffa is the epitome of an Old Town, whose charm has been met with an exciting modern influx of varying cultures, resulting in an intriguing place to visit.

Bustling markets are filled with Arab and Jewish Israeli’s and ancient buildings stand shoulder to shoulder with hot new nightlife venues and restaurants.

Be sure to pay a visit if you’re looking for a smaller, more intimate version of Tel Aviv.

Suggested tour : Old Jaffa & Tel Aviv Segway Tour

14. Golan Heights

Found near the Sea of Galilee and offering incredible views of the Hula Valley, the Golan Heights is an enchanting expanse of lush, waterside farmland punctuated by gorgeous rolling hills blanketed with wildflowers.

Here, you’ll find everything from cattle ranches to vineyards – the communities that live here are famed for their welcoming nature.

Spend the day hiking around the foothills or sampling wine around the Golan plateau.

15. Herzliya

Another must-see destination that is incredibly convenient to get to from Tel Aviv is the beautiful city of Herzliya.

A mere 20-minutes drive away, the city is a popular weekend destination for beach lovers and those who want a more exclusive, intimate vibe than offered in busy Tel Aviv.

The white sands found at beaches like Accadia Beach offer luxury bars and some world class surf breaks, while Herzliya city itself is home to irresistible shopping and renowned for its nightlife.

A Recent Review of this tour

After a day of touring us around Jerusalem, Michel returned to show us Jaffa and Tel Aviv. Again employing his humor and enthusiasm, he gave us a great introduction to the old port city of Jaffa and its role in the greater development of modern Tel Aviv and Israel. We also visited the seafront and ended with a stroll through Carmel Market. Because it was Friday afternoon before Shabbat, the market was especially busy and colorful. We finished with a hummus lunch in a hidden spot. A great day. Scott Stempel

I loved the Heritage of the Holy Land tour. Our tour guide Leah was very knowledgeable and informative. Our bus driver Hassam was very good about navigating the narrow streets with a tour bus. We all became like family by the end of the week.

Highlights of Israel - 8 days

Our guide was excellent. The tour itself was too full, no time to explore and do our own thing. The included food was mediocre. Overall, we had a great time.

8 Days Highlights of Israel

Our complaint is two fold. Except for our stay at the amazing kibbutz where we had fantastic food and beautiful accommodations, our hotels were average and poor. The Jerusalem Gate was o.k. but not as nice as places I have stayed when on tours with other companies. The Sea Net was a huge disappointment both for its food and room. Ours was tiny and the bathroom shabby. The staff were great and it’s location near the beach was nice but the single elevator was an annoyance. We had to wait a long time while a bus load of people who had checked in got to their rooms. My other complaint was that our group were located at different hotels in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem which meant a long time on the bus going from one hotel to another at the beginning and end of each day. We were all together at the kibbutz hotel and that was fantastic.

Jewish Israel Tour Package, 5 Days

Customer service, tour guide, bus driver, hotel everything perfect. Love this tour.

Heritage of the Holy Land

My wife and me really enjoyed the tour which was well planned and organized with a very knowledgeable guide. We would not hesitate to recommend your company to our friends who are interested to go on a tour.

Israel & Jordan Charming Tour - 8 Days

Naomi (nah-o-mi) (נָעֳמִי‎) who was our tour guide, was amazing. She was full of knowledge, patient and carring. This is a great tour which you will be able to see all highlights in Holly land. I highly recommend this tour however you will need to have some flexibility in terms of security and situation in the middle East.

Heritage & Holy Land - 8 days

Fantastic tour with a fantastic guide (Eyal)!

Discover Israel

Informative and interesting historical and biblical sites. Accommodations and food were very good and guides and drivers were friendly. Only real glitch was pairing English speaking and Spanish speaking tourists together. Lead tour guide had to repeat everything in both languages. Both sets of tourists were frustrated as it slowed things down. Queue line control at the church of the holy sepulcher was lousy, allowing people to cut lines; and at one point the line didn’t move at all from 3:00 until 4:15. By 5:00, they rushed everyone through — if they maintained flow speed throughout the day instead of just at the end and had more queue line discipline, people could get through faster and suffer less frustration. Jordan river— site near Jericho had putrid looking water; should use a site closer to the Sea of Galilee where the water is cleaner. Dead Sea was disappointing— staff would not allow people to swim or float — only wading.

Biblical Israel

An excellent tour with an experienced and helpful guide, Hilik Silfin, who not only explained the historical significance of what we were seeing but related this to current experiences of life in Israel. good accommodation and efficient transfers made this a real trip of a life-time.

Classic Israel

It was very well organised, very comprehensive tour with an excellent guide. Our group was 16 in number, all ages and nationalities. Most enjoyable and would definitely book with them again.

Holy Land Discovery - Faith-Based Travel - Catholic Itinerary

The Catholic component was not as evident as I expected.

Jewish Israel Tour Package, 8 Days

All the guides were informative and friendly. A special thanks to Chaya who helped us meet up with a relative in Akko at lunch. Would have preferred to tour the chocolate factory at the kibbutz we stayed at, and to have had the option of visiting the bird migrating place we drove past. Well organized. Enough time at each place. Suggestions of great museums on our free days would have been appreciated as well but the hotel staffs were all so helpful. We liked all the hotels but saw no advantage about being dropped off at a kibbutz hotel with a closed chocolate factory and signs inviting us to enter and taste.

Biblical Israel - Faith-Based Travel - Protestant Itinerary

Wow! Everything on this trip was amazing. I chose this tour because it combined the most important biblical locations from both the old and new testament, as well as the most important archaeological sites. Everything was perfect. We went hard day by day, but we saw everything we wanted to see. I would not have toured Israel in any other way. Our guide Shai was absolutely superb. He was incredibly knowledgable and I learned so much about biblical history, archaeology, and the Jewish culture. I am going to tell all my family to take this Cosmos Protestant tour because of its quality and substance. Outstanding!

5 days in Israel

Wonderful! Everything is good except for the transportation because they don't drop us in front of the hotel. The weather is very hot and the driver just let us drop in the street maybe 5 minutes away from the hotel which is disappointing.

Reviews of 7 day Tours from Tel Aviv

We had the most amazing guide Leah Dor and the best driver Hassan they both was so lovely, accomodating and went out their way to be so helpful and gave us some extra nice suprises throughout the tour. Everything was a good pace, never rushed and saw so much place and Leah was an expert with knowledge. Transfer drivers was on time when arrived plus to leave. Reliable company and organised well. Only thing, if you want to visit where Jesus was born inside the church, there is a big que and it is not part of this tour as this is just the highlights, they visit the church but not to que for certain things like that which many was not aware of so read the intinary clearly

We have just finished our tour with CTO , what a wonderful experience, visiting so many historical sites and given such an in depth and comprehensive tour, we were so fortunate to have such a great guide as Yossi, ( he is a walking encyclopaedia ) he has the ability to make you think and question historic events Brilliant! This trip is full on, and we could not believe just how much we got to see and learn, we were in a small group of 15 which was perfect and what an amazing group of people who we will remain in touch with. Thank you Yossi!
