A brief introduction to Tel Aviv

A sprawling metropolis overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Tel Aviv boasts a distinct architectural style, a unique contemporary art scene, and abundance of accessible outdoor activities.

Tel Aviv is renowned for its 1930’s Bauhaus architecture, especially within the White City - a famous UNESCO heritage site. Here, you can find some of Tel Aviv’s most important museums, including the Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv, and the Bauhaus Museum. Another popular museum is the Eretz Israel Museum, which showcases the country’s folklore, crafts, and archaeology.

The city’s art scene is equally as impressive - be sure to visit the Tel Aviv Museum of Art where you’ll find works from Lichtenstein, Picasso, Miro, and other famous artists. You can also wander through winding alleyways in the old city’s Jaffa Port to local art studios, exhibits and shops. Carmel Market is another worthwhile stop, where traders sell everything from clothing to spices to electronics.

Hayarkon Park is one of the largest parks in the city, and has a botanical garden, a water park, two concert venues as well as lakes. Visitors to the park are welcome to take part in sporting activities both on land and in the water.

To see Tel Aviv from an impressive angle, consider visiting Azrieli Observatory, which offers 360-degree panoramic views from the top of the Azrieli Center Circular Tower.
