Day 1: Spend the day walking around Jaffa

Hike and see the view: the view from Jaffa is magnificent and truly captures exactly what Tel Aviv is all about. This urban city surrounded by the ocean which is one of it’s most captivating aspects.

Get lost in the old city: please please turn off your Google maps at this point. Go forward, backward in any ally way you can find, it’s worth it.

Admire the doors & windows of residential Jaffa (Maybe a personal favourite. It beings this touch of personality to this city)

Grab the BEST hummus EVER! Actually, it’s Masabbaha (warm hummus!) Get that! Abu Hassan

Day 2: Visit the Tel Aviv Museum

Have a quick Bite at Miznon: After walking around a museum for two hours, grab a seat at the chefs table and order one of the most delicious stuffed pitas we’ve had while in Tel Aviv! If you are not alone, grab a roasted cauliflower as well! It’s delicious but pretty big for one person.

Day 3: Beach Day

I adore mornings at the beach. Before the crowds and when the sun is still not too hot. First picture is morning. Last picture is afternoon :-). Either way, go to one of the beach bars, Banana Beach is recommended, and have your morning breakfast on the beach. Then grab a chair and soak in the rays. OR pack a picnic and enjoy a beach day on the sand surrounded by locals playing beach sports.

Day 4: Walk through Rothschild all the way down to Neve Tzedek

Day or night these neighborhoods are amazing! Little stores everywhere, typical old town which is beautiful and romantic. We came both day and night because we could not get enough. We were also there during a Friday during the day and there was a little artisinal market.

Day 5: Explore The Markets (Carmel & Levinski)

Everyone in Tel Aviv goes to the markets. Definitely not just tourists yay!

Carmel Market: Is where you can go get fruits, veggies and meats.

Levinski Market: Much lesser known. This is where you get your olives, break, cheese, dried fruits and herbs. (also must stop at Cafe Levinski for a ice coffee or kombucha!
