The name of the city of Tel Aviv is translated as "the hill of spring". But the locals say that this is a “non-stop city”, and this definition is fully true: life here does not stop day or night.

Like any seaside city, living in Tel Aviv is best when you are close to the beaches. First of all, go for a walk to the famous Jaffa - the oldest continuously inhabited city in the world. Now Jaffa is a district of Tel Aviv, which, however, does not negate its flavor. Old Jaffa is a real labyrinth with intricately woven streets, arches, stairs, gateways, art galleries and many jewelry and other handicraft shops where you can watch the work of the master, and at the same time buy something of that kind.


After walking around the most ancient district of the city, move to the very first - Neve Tzedek. It was from here that the construction of modern Tel Aviv began in 1909 (although then it, in turn, was considered just a new suburb of Jaffa). There are a huge number of restaurants - one prettier than the other - and shops with furniture, clothes and accessories from local designers.

Another iconic place for Tel Aviv is Rothschild Boulevard. Here is the largest concentration of legendary houses in the Bauhaus style, built in the 30s and 40s of the last century by German Jews who fled from the Nazis.

For handmade souvenirs, head to Nachlat-Binyamin pedestrian street, which hosts a crafts fair on Tuesdays and Fridays (nachlat-binyamin. com). Nearby is the Carmel Market (Carmel St. ) - the main market of Tel Aviv, which appeared in the 20s of the last century. Here you can find everything from bull eggs to pasta.
