Carmel Market (Shuk Ha'Carmel)

Tel Aviv’s biggest and busiest marketplace is filled with colorful stalls and shouting vendors selling a variety of goods, from dried fruits and exotic spices to clothing and footwear.

Reviewed By NickDavis

Just minutes from our apartment Sao we visited several times during our stay. Closed Saturdays and daily closes at 5pm (winter time anyway) Always busy although actual volume of people varies (on 2 occasions daughter with grandson in pushchair gave up and walked along a parralel street as progress so slow due to crowds). Wares range from clothing to food with the latter being the main focus. So enjoyable to look at the stalls selling spices or nuts or fruits or Turkish baklava and other sweets and in late December many hanukah (Jewish festival of lights) related doughnuts and sesame seed cakes and the like. There are also some good falafel and other eaters in some of the side streets off of the main thoroughfare. Amazing atmosphere.

Nachalat Binyamin Pedestrian Mall

Reviewed By NaavaP - Tel Aviv, Israel

This pedestrian walk is home for some of old Tlv garment district and the eclectic style of building. On Tuesdays and Fridays it holds an arts and crafts fair which is an excellent place to get local art or a unique piece of jewelry as well as gifts for the ones at home. Enjoy street performers and sometimes live music or kids shows. It holds a mix of old and new, buildings, shops, cafes and restaurants. Don't miss out on the icecream place located halfway through the main drag.

Old Tel Aviv Port Area

Reviewed By addpro - Thornhill, Canada

Before the port of Ashdod, there was the port of Tel Aviv. Nowadays the big ships are gone (replaced by some sailboats), and it's a great place to visit for shopping, restaurants, skateboarding and fun.

Great insight into the first prime minister of Israel. Very interesting to see how modestly a prime minister lived.

Neve Tzedek

Filled with a maze of narrow winding streets, this picturesque neighborhood is considered one of Tel Aviv’s major cultural areas where the Frederic Mann Auditorium, Helena Rubinstein Art Museum and Israel’s Habima Theater are located.

Reviewed By NickDavis

We tended to focus on Shabazi Street which runs through heart of the neighbourhood although did also check out some side streets. Shabazi has lots of boutique shops over wide range from jewellery to artists and general stores and clothing plus some restaurants and Anita gelato ice cream The western end adjoins a children's play area and one of the Tel Aviv dog parks. Always lots of people to see and noticed several tour groups being shown round each day.

Florentine

This neighbourhood is not touted in any of the Tel Aviv tourist brochures, the way its next door neighbour, Neve Tzedek, is. Few of the 50 to 70-year-old buildings have been renovated, though here, in terms of density, is Tel Aviv's largest concentration of Bauhaus architecture.

Reviewed By Waterlaw - Jerusalem, Israel

Wonderful old Tel Aviv neighborhood in the south of the city and up against Jaffa (Yafo) and adjacent to the Levinsky Market Place that specialized in Greek, Romanian and Turkish spices, baked goods, chesses, fruits and kosher meats. The neighborhoud’s roots are said to have originated and founded by Jews from Salonika in Greece, and founded in the 1910s, during the country's Ottoman period, that is reflected in the architecture, the alley ways and small stores. It has been compared to Williamsburg in New York City because of its predominance of young people who live there. Predominated by numerous old-time "bohemian" cafes. It is also mythical in Israel due to a TV series named for the neighborhoud. It is a trendy and exciting area, beautiful turn of the Twentieth Century architecture. A wonderful concentration of tiny inexpensive bars in the center of the neighborhoud, as well as street food including kababs, falefel and pizza. Has turned into one of the most vibrant Tel Aviv nightlife scenes, much different and warmer than the rest of the city. Try Tony and Esther's Cafe (Levinsky 39) in the Levinsky Marketץ

Tayelet

This is the paved beachside walkway which provides a 2km path between Tel Aviv and Jaffa.

Reviewed By stevenofedgware - Edgware, United Kingdom

the Tayelet , on the promenade has been revamped, with thye removal of the now defunct dolfinarium, which is near the Intercontinental hotel. New exercise equipment has been installed together with new sun shades , all over the beach areas. A great place to walk , or ride a bike ( plenty of bikes to hire) only be aware of the large number of battery scooters in use ( which are quite fast!) Beautiful beach and swimming facilities, which are well supervised by the lifeguards.
