Tel Aviv is a vibrant and cosmopolitan city located on the Mediterranean coast of Israel. It is the country’s second-largest city, after Jerusalem, and is often referred to as the “non-stop city” due to its lively atmosphere, bustling nightlife, and dynamic cultural scene. The city boasts a stunning coastline with several beautiful beaches. The most popular one is Gordon Beach, offering golden sands, clear waters, and a variety of water sports. The beaches are lively during the day and often transform into social hubs in the evenings.
Take day trips outside Tel Aviv to places like Jerusalem, Masada, or the Dead Sea.
Tel Aviv is a bike-friendly city with plenty of cycling paths, especially along the coast. Tel-O-Fun, the city’s bike-sharing program, allows you to rent bikes at numerous docking stations across the city.
From Friday evening to Saturday evening, many businesses, including restaurants, shops, and public transportation, shut down for Shabbat (the Jewish day of rest).
Sherut minibuses (shared taxis) run along major bus routes, offering a flexible and affordable option. They operate even during Shabbat, making them a popular choice when regular buses don’t run.
