Top 10 Things to do in Tel Aviv, Israel
A youthful, modern metropolis with a diverse population, Tel Aviv dates back only to 1909. Clubs, bars, a thriving arts community, gay life and beaches attract artists, musicians and young professionals to Tel Aviv's more secular scene. Its UNESCO-designated Bauhaus architecture has won the city the moniker "The White City." Walk, drive or catch cabs between the cultural exhibition pavilions of Haaretz Museum, historic Independence Hall Museum, bustling Carmel Market and Old Jaffa's boardwalk.

What an incredible place. Joseph Bau's daughters spoke with us, and it was fascinating and moving. We highly recommend this tiny museum for families - our children really paid attention and learned so much. This museum, and Mr. Bau's daughters, are a national treasure.thank you so much!!! we enjoyed your visit!
2. Palmach Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1 reviews
Interactive history museum by appointment only.
Reviewed By HandballYaz - Pennsylvania
This is not a museum with artifacts but rather a movie that is shown over several intricately created sets through which the visitor walks. The dialogue of the movie is entirely in Hebrew and they provide a handheld radio that gives a "gist" translation - not word for word but rather a synopsis of what the characters were saying, which was frustrating because a lot of the meaning was lost. But the production qualities were good, the sets were intricate and authentic, and I learned some things about the Palmach. I was hoping for more a rigorous academic look at its history so I had the wrong expectation. If you want to see artifacts and read a lot more about the history of the Haganah and Palmach I suggest the Haganah museum in southern tel aviv.

This is the paved beachside walkway which provides a 2km path between Tel Aviv and Jaffa.
Reviewed By Mordechai K
With the Mediterranean on one side and the high rises on the other the Tayelet is one of the most beautiful walks you can take. It goes from the port of Jaffa all the way to and past the Yarkon river in the north of Tel Aviv and the sightseeing and people watching is fantastic.

To balance the many excellent reviews of the dinner and/or play experience posted here, I'd like to add that Na L'gaat ("Please Touch") also offers workshops. This was our first activity after our group of 30 arrived in Israel.

Really amazed at the modern amenities in this museum. As you walk around with ear phones on the museum tells its story to you. Doesn't matter if you follow in order or not. Of course viewing the museum chronologically is highly recommended but if it is crowded missing one alcove area wont ruin the experience. You could spend a long time in this museum if you listen and read everything. Great sense of the man and the history of the state of Israel.

What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday afternoon, strolling along the beach and watching volleyball players, families, swimmers in our shirtsleeves in December! (Of course, the locals were all wearing down parkas because they thought 65 degrees was winter weather...) Perfect way to decompress from travelling.

we had only 1 hour but we enjoyed the 24h project by C Markley; this is unbelievable, what he did; finding all those minute by minute sequences from well known films and putting them all together...
thought the entry fee quite pricey; general collection also good.

Yarkon River and yarkon park are located near the Tel-Aviv port side. It's a 10 minutes walk from Rothschild Boulevard or Allenby street.
It's a quite river that offers paddling and boating facilities.
The park is quite large and one finds many families and kids having a great time cycling, roller blading, roller boards etc. Nice place for a picnic.
Great place to unwind if u want to do fishing.
