Tel Aviv is one of the most frequently visited cities in Israel, and it’s not surprising once you get a look at the place. Checking off nearly every item on your bucket list, Tel Aviv truly has it all.

Like New York, Tel Aviv is the Israeli city that never sleeps, and that’s apparent from all the partying that is constantly going on around here. You can’t walk a block without running into a nightclub, festival, or party happening, and they’re going strong until the small hours of the night, so hit up a few before you leave.

#2 Beaches

Tel Aviv is a coastal city that rests on the Mediterranean Sea. As such, visitors are privy to the most exquisite sandy beaches with pristine waters, glorious sunshine, and water sports of every variety. Some of the best beaches include:

Jaffa

Metzitzim

Hatzuk

And, whether you believe it or not, there are more! There’s no end to the beach fun in Tel Aviv, so you would really be remiss to skip out on this beautiful reef.

#3 Eat!

What city tour would be complete without an honorable mention of one of everyone’s favorite pastimes: eating out! (We are in Israel after all!) If you are nervous about finding some good quality eateries with equally respected kosher certification, here’s a list of kosher restaurants in Tel Aviv.

#4 Shop

Tel Aviv has more than its fair share of shopping experiences for any tourist.
