Where to stay in Tel Aviv
Neve Tzedek
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.
Florentin
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.
Rothschild & Lev HaIr
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.
Jaffa (Yafo)
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.

🏛️ Top Attractions
Best things to do in Tel Aviv
Tel Aviv Beaches & Tayelet Promenade
Continuous strip of sandy city beaches (Gordon, Frishman, Banana and more) connected by a long promenade running along the Mediterranean. Perfect for morning runs, sunset walks, beach workouts or working from a café overlooking the sea.
Old Jaffa & Jaffa Port
Ancient harbour area with stone alleys, artists' studios, viewpoints over the sea and the Jaffa clock tower. A great half-day wander combining history, local food and photo spots, especially around sunset when the light over the coastline is beautiful.
Rothschild Boulevard & White City
Tree-lined boulevard running through the centre of Tel Aviv, flanked by Bauhaus and modernist buildings that form part of the UNESCO-listed White City. Full of cafés, kiosks and people on bikes and scooters. Ideal for people-watching between work sessions.
Carmel Market (Shuk HaCarmel)
Lively open-air market selling produce, street food, spices and clothes. One of the most atmospheric places to feel Tel Aviv's energy. Combine with nearby Yemenite Quarter for cafés and small restaurants in quieter side streets.
Tel Aviv Museum of Art
Major art museum with Israeli and international collections housed in a striking contemporary building. Strong on modern and contemporary art, photography and rotating exhibitions. Excellent rainy-day or heatwave escape.
Yarkon Park (Park HaYarkon)
Huge riverside park in the north of the city with running and cycling paths, lawns, lakes and sports facilities. Locals use it for picnics, frisbee, outdoor workouts and festivals. Good spot to work from the shade with mobile data on cooler days.
Sarona Market & Sarona Complex
Renovated Templar colony turned into a mix of glass towers and restored stone houses with an indoor food hall, gourmet stalls and restaurants. Great for lunch between meetings or trying multiple Israeli and international flavours in one place.
Port of Tel Aviv (Namal Tel Aviv)
Redeveloped waterfront promenade in the north with wooden decks, cafés, bars and views of the sea. Popular with runners, cyclists and families. In the evenings the area fills with people walking, eating and watching the sunset.

💬 What Nomads Say
Real reviews from digital nomads
"I spent two months working remotely from Tel Aviv and absolutely loved the combo of beach life and startup energy. My routine was morning swim, a few hours in a café around Dizengoff, then afternoon calls from a coworking space near Rothschild. Internet was flawless everywhere I stayed. It is undeniably expensive, but if you treat it as a focused sprint for networking and sunshine, it is worth it."
"Tel Aviv is the city where my social life was the busiest of all my nomad stops. There is always a bar opening, a rooftop event or a beach meetup. I stayed in Florentin which was cheaper and had a strong community vibe. On the downside, my monthly costs were close to what I paid in London and the summer humidity was brutal. Amazing if you like going out and don't mind spending."
"As an Israeli who usually lives abroad, I came back for three months and worked remotely from Tel Aviv. From a nomad perspective the city is very easy: people speak English, cafés are laptop-friendly and there are meetups in the tech scene almost every week. But I would not recommend it as your only base – the cost of living adds up fast and regional tensions can spike suddenly. I now treat Tel Aviv as my favourite high-energy base for part of the year, not a place to slow travel on a tight budget."
