2025 Tel Aviv Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

I stayed in a capsule hotel along the beach for two nights in Tel Aviv. Israel is an extremely expensive country and hotels are ridiculously expensive... This time I found a capsule hotel that was clean, comfortable, and had the best value for money, so I stayed there. The capsule hotel's cabins are actually made in Japan. The inside was also very clean and comfortable. The shared spaces, showers, and toilets were also clean. The beach was right in front of me, and there was a terrace, which was great. All this cost about 5,000 yen a night. #Israel #Tel Aviv #Value for money hotel #Capsule hotel

#beachaholic When it comes to relaxed coastal charm, Tel Aviv Beach truly stands out. This beach, stretching along the vibrant city, is a bustling hub of activity, offering a unique blend of city life and seaside bliss. Sandy shores kissed by the Mediterranean Sea invite visitors for sunbathing, beach games, or simply admiring the azure expanse. Watersports enthusiasts love the surfing opportunities, while fitness buffs enjoy the beachside jogging tracks. As the sun sets, the beach transforms into a social hub with lively beach bars and restaurants lining up the promenade. With its electric atmosphere and beautiful seashore, Tel Aviv Beach is an urban paradise that offers something for everyone.

#summerbreak The White City 🤍🤍, located in Tel Aviv, Israel, is a captivating destination renowned for its remarkable collection of Bauhaus architecture. Stepping into this urban landscape is like entering a time capsule that transports visitors back to the 1930s. The sight of the clean lines, functional design, and geometric shapes of the Bauhaus buildings is truly awe-inspiring. Walking along the tree-lined boulevards, one can admire the harmonious blend of simplicity and elegance that characterizes these structures. The pristine white facades are accentuated by pops of vibrant colors and expansive windows that invite natural light to dance within. Observing such architectural mastery in person is a testament to the enduring legacy of the Bauhaus movement and its profound influence on modern design. The White City's Bauhaus architecture is a visual feast that leaves an indelible impression on all who have the privilege of experiencing it.

Seeing Old Jaffa is like stepping into a storybook filled with history, and Mediterranean vibes. This ancient port city in Israel is a treasure trove of sights and experiences. Lose yourself in the narrow cobblestone streets, lined with quaint shops, art galleries, and cozy cafes. The vibrant colors of the buildings and the scent of freshly baked goods fill the air, enticing your senses.

📍Jaffa Port, Tel Aviv, Israel ◽️Jaffa Port is said to be the oldest port in the world. There are many convenience stores, restaurants, and clubs around it, so it has become a tourist attraction now. I looked around the area around the port more than the port itself. ◽️Personally, I felt like there was a certain street that had a strong Middle Eastern feel. ◽️Tel Aviv itself is not that big, so if you ride a bike and go around for 2-3 days, you can see almost everything. I also rode a bike to Jaffa Port, and it was worth it except for the uphill climb😆 #TouristAttractionReview#Israel

Looking for a metropolitan and modern beach front city? Then Tel Aviv is the best to be! Considered as one of the most vegan friendly cities, the beautiful beach and amazing food makes it a city that is worth visiting again and again. The accommodation types vary and you can normally find a hotel to suit your budget! Most of the bars open quite late and stay open late too! Taking a stroll along the beach is a common and fun thing to do. Getting in and out of Tel Aviv is easy through the international airport #telaviv #urbanexplorer

Not far from Tel Aviv lies Jaffa which is a beautiful historical part of the city. Jaffa is within walking distance from Tel Aviv and the architecture gives Mediterranean vibes. There is quite a big flea market there where you can buy lots of different products ranging from food to art. The people that I encountered there were very friendly and nice. Most of Jaffa is coastal and you can take some great pictures. #Israel #bucketlistreboot #2023travelwish #Jaffa

Welcome to Tel Aviv, the city that never sleeps and boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in the world! With miles of soft, sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, and a vibrant beach culture, Tel Aviv is the ultimate destination for sun, sea, and fun. Whether you're looking to catch some rays, take a dip in the refreshing Mediterranean Sea, or indulge in some water sports, Tel Aviv's beaches have something for everyone. From the lively atmosphere of the famous Banana Beach to the more tranquil and family-friendly vibes of Gordon Beach, you'll find a beach to suit your every mood and preference.

The old city of Jaffa is located in the south of Tel Aviv, yet is walkable from most areas of the city. Its history dates back centuries and was a landing point for most coming to Palestine via the sea. It is unique as a melting pot of many different faiths, Muslim, Jewish, and Christian neighbours all living together. Highly recommend Jaffa for a half day activity spent wandering the sights! #israel #telaviv #middle_east

This stunning promenade runs along the Mediterranean sea in the city of Tel Aviv. You can walk from the old city of Jaffa right up to the modern city centre, all while enjoying the sights of the sunset. The area has been beautifully designed to incorporate a cycle track and wide space for joggers. It is a popular location for young families and ideal to meet with friends. #telaviv #israel

ISRAEL IDYLLIC - Sheraton Tel Aviv By the time I got here, I was a little mentally wonky from my crappy journey 👿 I felt my sanity came back to me with a vengeance upon stepping into this new and modern Sheraton ❤️ Oh what a lovely property this is 🔥 Being welcomed by a bright modern ceiling marked the beginning of a great stay. My room was the new born entity of the Sheraton brand in its cheery seaside theme - cushy bed, chilling chairs, TV with generous channels, awfully decadent bathroom, and an awesome view of the season neighborhood. Being able to have a cup of freshly made pod coffee in this space was my system’s kickstart 🎖️ BUT then I fell sick. And so began the limited experience of eating plain pita bread and falafels in my room, dying in bed wishing I was home, and trying to keep myself sane by bingeing on Netflix. 🤢 I thank my lucky starts that I had this room to be sick in though - it helped in my recovery enough for me to get home thereafter in one piece. I wish I had a more complete experience but maybe next time! ⏰ [Complete review scheduled on Satu Kosong Travel Blog]

Unlike Jerusalem, Tel Aviv is a modern city filled with unruled corners and different architecture styles. I stayed 4 days here, felt it’s just nice to take everything slow to observe how locals live their lives.

Eternally bright sunshine☀️Long sandy beach! Countless beauties and delicious traditional food! You can enjoy my beach 24 hours a day from different angles! All of these can be used to describe Tel Aviv. If you haven't been there yet? Try taking a bold step! You will feel a different perspective and a different experience, looking for the places you have been to and the people you have met! There is a new page. I wish you a successful journey👍

Speaking of Israel, I believe most people will think of Jerusalem. However, Jerusalem is indeed the most famous city in Israel, but it is not the capital of Israel. Its real capital is Tel Aviv. Speaking of Tel Aviv, it is indeed not as famous as Jerusalem. I believe that more than 90% of tourists who go to Israel also set their sights on Jerusalem. However, you cannot reach Jerusalem without passing through Tel Aviv (Jerusalem has no airport, and the only international airport nearby is in Tel Aviv). So, since we have to pass through it anyway, let us take the opportunity to get to know this city, or take a day trip. Tel Aviv means spring hill in Hebrew, where Aviv means spring and Tel means hill. Today, Tel Aviv is a city where the night never stops and it is always full of life, day or night. At the same time, Tel Aviv is also the economic and technological hub of Israel and even the entire Middle East region. It is the world's high-tech center and has long been known as the Silicon Valley of the Middle East. Israel has 3,500 high-tech companies, such as Intel, IBM, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc., all of which have research and development departments in Israel. However, Tel Aviv only began to take shape in the 1880s, with a history of just over 200 years. Compared with the neighboring Jaffa Old City, which has a history of thousands of years, it is like a comparison between a baby and an old man. Ironically, the newborn defeated the giant and completely surpassed Jaffa in size, successfully seizing control of the country and becoming the capital of Israel today. Jerusalem, 50 kilometers away, is the religious center of the Middle East and even the world. However, in Tel Aviv, 50 kilometers away, you can't feel the solemn religious atmosphere at all. Here, you can hardly see religious people in formal attire. There are only skyscrapers by the sea, sunshine and beaches (Tel Aviv has more than 300 days of sunshine a year), bar street/shopping street, boutiques/art galleries/open-air cafes, etc. Tel Aviv has many attractions for visitors to see and enjoy, not to be missed include the White City and Jaffa Old City. The White City is a group of modernist Bauhaus-style buildings in Tel Aviv. The buildings combine ancient and modern cities, taking into account the combination of humanities, climate and sand. It was listed as a World Cultural Heritage in July 2003 and is one of the youngest heritage sites in the world. The Old City of Jaffa is a completely different attraction. The ancient port is full of ruins, the streets are winding and rugged, and the blue doors are intertwined with beige stones, just like a Greek town. The area near the port is full of elegant seafood restaurants, cafes and galleries, where visitors can spend a leisurely afternoon drinking a cup of coffee or reading a book, forgetting the hustle and bustle and pressure of the big city. Those who love treasure hunting can also find their favorites here. The old town is full of antique shops, and the flea market (Jaffa Flea Market) next to the clock tower is a good place for treasure hunting. There are old toys, vinyl records, and old furniture from the 1970s and 1980s. Even if you get lost, it is still fun. Finally, it was time to leave Tel Aviv and head to the real destination of tourists – Jerusalem. There are four ways to get to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv. You can choose according to your budget and time. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that some public transportation will stop operating during the Sabbath (Shabbat). The Sabbath refers to the time from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday, so you should plan ahead when designing your itinerary. 1. Take bus No. 405 The cheapest way to travel between the two places is to take bus No. 405. The bus departs from Tel Aviv Central Bus Station and arrives at Jerusalem Central Bus Station. The first bus departs at 05:50 in the morning and the last bus departs at 23:40 late at night. There is a bus almost every 20 minutes, and it takes about an hour. The ticket price is only 5.9 NIS. There is no bus service during the Sabbath, please pay attention to the detailed timetable. website 2. Israel National Railway Israel National Railways has direct connections to Tel Aviv Airport/city center and Jerusalem. The ticket price is only 17NIS and the journey takes 26 minutes to reach Jerusalem Yitzhak Navon Station. The first train is at 6:30 in the morning and the last train is at 7:30 in the evening. Again, there is no train service on the Sabbath. For ticket booking and detailed timetable, please visit the following website 3. Abraham Shuttle Bus It is really a headache to go to Jerusalem on the Sabbath without transportation. I arrived in Tel Aviv on Saturday morning and chose the Abraham shuttle bus to Jerusalem. Abraham is a well-known hostel in the city, with hostels in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Shuttle buses provide transportation between the two hostels. Although the Abraham shuttle bus is a bit expensive, costing 30NIS, the good thing is that it also provides service during the Sabbath, with several shuttle buses running every day. For details, please refer to the official website. In addition, since the bus only has 22 seats, it is best to book as early as possible through the official website. 4. Sherut Sherut is usually an eight-seater yellow taxi, similar to Hong Kong's mud bus, Taiwan's carpooling, and mainland China's carpooling. It drives away when the taxi is full. Sherut does not have a mileage meter. Both parties pay the fare agreed upon before getting on the bus when they get off. The price is relatively expensive, at 30 NIS, but the advantage is that it can take you point-to-point to the designated destination in Jerusalem, and it also operates on the Sabbath. Sherut generally has fixed pickup locations, such as outside Terminal 3 of the airport and outside the central station, but if you see this yellow van on the street, you can actually hail a car.

Address: King George St 81, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel Ambience/Facilities: Near Tel Aviv Port Features: This small shop looks inconspicuous, but it has high reviews on Google Maps, which made me want to try it. The waiter recommended my signature hummus, which is a Middle Eastern specialty. After the meal was served, I couldn't stop eating it. Hummus is really delicious with pita. I also ordered a salad to round out the meal. I highly recommend it. If you come to Israel, you must try it. Price per person: 50 Israeli lira Rating: 4.0

Highlight - The Tel Aviv Museum of Art is the largest cultural and art institution in the State of Israel and is ranked among the world's leading art and archaeology museums. The museum has a collection of nearly 500,000 objects, representing a full scope of Israel and world material culture. One of the highlights is the Shrine of the Book, which contains the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest biblical manuscripts in existence. When I visited there, I spent almost half of my time appreciating this ancient manuscript and it was simply fascinating. Make sure to put this museum on your list when you visit. You will be blessed with a sea of knowledge of Israel arts and the place it has earned in the world. #tigeryear2022 #urbanexplorer #awesomepic

The original meaning of the name Jaffa is beauty, and it may be named after its founder, Noah's son Japheth. The ancient city of Jaffa has a very long history, with artifact records of human habitation dating back to approximately 7500 BC. Since the Bronze Age, Jaffa has been used by humans because of its natural harbor topography. The Old Town complex includes residential buildings as well as alleys on the western and southern slopes of the Old Town of Jaffa (located on the slope of the northern slope of the Garden), as well as the summit of the Garden at the head of Kedumim Square. Also included is the port of Jaffa, located on the pontoon seawall. #bucketlist #tbt

Israel is a relatively small country with an extremely diverse topography. Landscapes can range from the coastal plains near the Dead Sea, highlands in the North, and the Negev Desert in the South.

Stayed at the "Carlton Tel Aviv Hotel" for a few days in Tel Aviv, Israel. On one side of the hotel is the beachfront marina and on the side of the Gan Haatzmaut Park. Each room has a private balcony overlooking the sea or the city. Although the interior of the room is not particularly spacious, it is very cozy and comfortable, and all facilities are available. In addition, there is a wide variety of buffet breakfasts, including champagne and caviar, and you can enjoy the sea view while enjoying the food. It feels great!

The Old Town of Jaffa on the Mediterranean Sea is an ancient city with a history of more than 4,000 years and one of the earliest port trade cities in the world. This ancient millennium city has been mentioned many times in the Bible. For thousands of years, the Romans, Greeks, Crusaders, Turks, Arabs and other countries have invaded the army. The Old City of Jaffa has also staged a history of alternating ups and downs. Nowadays, the old town, which has experienced thousands of years of wind and rain, is surrounded by trees, trees and windows. Every building and every corner is telling the past... "Jaffa" is Hebrew The homonym of the word "beautiful", because the scenery here is excellent and picturesque, it still maintains the simple appearance of the millennium. Most of the streets and towns of the ancient city are composed of stone houses. They are built according to the ups and downs of the terrain. They are full of vicissitudes of history and are particularly charming in the blue Mediterranean embrace.

Tel Aviv isn’t a city. She’s a situationship. Gorgeous, intense, slightly toxic — and you know you’ll go back anyway. I touched down and instantly started sweating… not sure if it was the actual heat or the hot population density. Like seriously, who told them all to be this tan, this confident, and this good at eye contact? • Breakfast: shakshuka and someone’s son. • Afternoon: sweating through linen, flirting in broken English, falling in love over iced coffee. • Night: tequila, techno, and texting my bestie “I’m never leaving.” The beach? Immaculate. The energy? Horny. The people? Look like they do Pilates and politics. And Jaffa? Feels like the backdrop of a historical drama where I have forbidden lovers and a mysterious past life as a spice trader. By 2 a.m., I was barefoot, on a rooftop, listening to deep house and reconsidering every life decision I’ve ever made — in the best way. Tel Aviv isn’t just hot. She’s humid, holy, and high-key unhinged. #AprilBlooms #TelAvivTales #ShukFlirtations #HotCityHotMess

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Israel #Tel Aviv This is an air-conditioned indoor market. There are food courts, restaurants and specialty shops in the venue. I ordered the traditional Middle Eastern food at the food court: the hummus combo, which was very delicious and reasonably priced. After dinner, you can visit the small shops here. Each shop has a different decoration and characteristics. They sell spices, dried fruits, candies, cheese, and fresh food. I bought some traditional desserts here as souvenirs. Although this market is not as traditional as the Camel Market, I actually like this market because it is clean and cool, and I can also experience the life of local young people.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Israel The public beach is close to the city, the water is shallow and suitable for children to play in the water. The beach is well maintained and the sand is soft Facilities include showers, changing rooms, a volleyball court, a pool table, and swings. You can rent beach chairs and parasols, and there is an open gym for fitness. There are many restaurants and cafes nearby. You can enjoy the sea view while dining and listening to live music. The atmosphere is great. It is also recommended to take a walk in the evening to enjoy the sunset.

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Israel Had the pleasure of staying at this boutique hotel before the war in Israel Here are the reasons for recommendation ✅Happy Hour in the afternoon provides free drinks and alcohol ✅Located in the city center, next to a fountain park, within walking distance to the beach and shopping mall.

Thank them for arranging transportation to take us to the Diamond Trading Center so that we can buy the diamonds we like💎

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Israel We walked along the beach from Tel Aviv to the old town of Jaffa. In fact, you can also borrow a bicycle from the hotel. Riding a bicycle is the most labor-saving! The various scenic spots in the ancient city are not far from each other. It takes about 2 to 3 hours to walk and see. The old town is full of historical relics, narrow old streets, souvenir shops, and restaurants. It feels like you have walked into a European country and does not feel like you are in the Middle East at all. Two photo spots recommended 1. Go to Jaffa Port to watch the sunset in the evening 2. Abrasha Park is a great place to take photos of the coastline and Jaffa Port
