Things to Do in Tel Aviv

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
