ADD TO LIST
Tel Aviv (Tel Aviv-Yaho) is Israel's financial and business center. It is a mostly modern metropolis with lots of nightlife and culture, and has an energetic atmosphere. While Tel Aviv doesn't have the amazing historical sights of Jerusalem, the old port of Jaffa is a worthy spot for people interested in ancient cities and history.

Travel Tips from people who've been to Tel Aviv
The best and cheapest way to get from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem or vice versa, is with the multiple person taxis that run between the two cities. It is convenient since you just pile in and wait for the taxi to fill up to the point where the driver feels he has enough passengers and off you go. Just DO NOT expect to carry a huge backback or any suitcases with you. This is a commuter taxi, not a luggage transportation service! Good tip? (+1)
Good tip? (0) Tel Aviv is an amazing friendly place. The beachfront has something similar to Durban's Golden Mile and beaches are stunning. Just don't sit on the chairs as they are not free! Behind the skyscrapers and hotels lies a city with old buildings and market places and crumbling building , but stunning architecture. Tel Aviv is rich in culture - both from a secular and Jewish perspective. Markets are the best place to shop for fresh veggies and bargains. Nite life is cool and safe to walk around . If you enjoy Cape Town's Long Street vibe you'll feel right at home in Tel Aviv. Transport is great - taxis run 24/7 , but the buses close down for Shabat (Friday sunset to Saturday sunset). High security in malls, but generally one feels very safe wherever you go. Jewish people are warm, open , loving , peaceful and very hospitable and family - orientated. Contrary to what most people believe, the chances of you being bombed on your visit is prob 1000000000000 to 1 so go enjoy! Good tip? (0) Recent Updates for Tel Aviv
