Tel Aviv may not have a great first impression due to the rough and grey exterior. It also lacks the history of Jerusalem, which is 50 miles away. However, travelling to Tel Aviv can be a fulfilling holiday experience for the whole family, with remarkable beaches and a rip-roaring nightlife. Tel Aviv holidays are also perfect due to the fantastic weather and scenic Mediterranean atmosphere. While the weather can be moderately hot during summers, the winter season is mild, and you can plan your vacation any time of the year.
Visiting Tel Aviv beaches should be on your bucket list on your holiday in the city. The urban beaches provide a serene environment for sunbathing or taking a dip in the Mediterranean waters. You can also play in the sun with your kids or pets as you enjoy the cool breeze. The Givat Aliya beach south of Jaffa has beautiful ornate arches and palm trees, providing a gorgeous environment for relaxation. It also has a volleyball court. Ha'Maravi beach is the perfect spot for surfing, and you can marvel at the impressive views of Tel Aviv's old town, Jaffa.
You can also spend the day cycling, running, wall climbing or having a picnic with your family at Park Hayarkon nestled north of the city. The park provides green space to catch your breath away from the busy town. You can walk to the Yarkon river running through the park, or spend the day watching joggers and dog walkers strolling. The park's eastern side has a Rock Garden with over 3,500 plant species spread across various rock formations. You can also explore the tropical gardens with orchids, vines and palm trees or the bird tour in the far east of Hayarkon.
The Tel Aviv museum is an exciting place to visit for art fanatics. It hosts Israeli art, from historical collections to modern displays. There are numerous photographs mounted on the museum's walls, with the interior space providing a unique setting for a gallery. You can marvel at the exceptional architecture or stroll around the sculpture garden. Street art is also common around the city, and you can experience the city's history first-hand at the Old Jaffa that stands on a cliff. Jaffa provides numerous attractions, including ancient clock towers, mosques, churches and museums.
