Where to Stay in Tel Aviv

One of Tel Aviv's oldest and most charming districts, with low-rise houses, narrow streets, boutiques and cafés a short walk from the beach. Rents are high but the area feels like a village inside the city and is very popular with creatives and higher-budget expats.

Gritty-cool southern neighbourhood with street art, small bars, hip cafés and a younger crowd. Historically industrial, now full of converted lofts and shared apartments. Cheaper than beachside areas and a hub for artists, freelancers and students.

Central spine of Tel Aviv's business and café life, running along Rothschild Boulevard and surrounding streets. Lined with Bauhaus buildings, startups, banks, and popular bars. Great if you want to be in the middle of everything with quick access to coworking spaces.

Ancient port city attached to Tel Aviv, with cobblestone lanes, flea markets and views back to the modern skyline. Mix of Arab and Jewish communities. Still walkable to many beaches, with slightly more affordable flats than Neve Tzedek and a slower, more historic atmosphere.
