Areas and routes
Neighborhoods, day trips, and getting around Tel Aviv.
Tel Aviv neighborhoods
Each district has its own character — knowing which one you're in changes what's realistic to fit in a day.
Central Tel Aviv
Central Tel Aviv includes Rothschild Boulevard, Dizengoff, Bialik, Allenby, hotels, cafes, nightlife, Bauhaus streets, and the fastest access to many visitor sights.
Old North and the Port
The Old North and port area add calmer residential streets, Yarkon Park, Tel Aviv Port, family beaches, restaurants, and quick cycling routes.
Neve Tzedek
Neve Tzedek is the restored early Tel Aviv neighborhood of narrow lanes, boutiques, small hotels, Suzanne Dellal Center, and routes toward Jaffa.
Florentin and Levinsky
Florentin and Levinsky bring street art, workshops, spice shops, bars, vegan food, casual restaurants, and late-night energy south of the center.
Jaffa
Jaffa mixes the old port, flea market, Arab and Jewish communities, churches, mosques, galleries, seafood restaurants, and sea-facing stone lanes.
Sarona and City Center east
Sarona and the eastern center cluster offices, restored Templar buildings, food halls, train and light-rail links, and the main art and performance institutions.
Day trips from Tel Aviv
Doable as a long day or comfortable as an overnight — each one is a destination on its own.
65km / about 35-50min by fast train from Tel Aviv stations
Jerusalem
