Travel guide – tel aviv

Go back to travel guide home

Overview

Tel Aviv is a vibrant modern city that is best known for its sun-drenched beaches, pumping nightclubs, designer shopping, crowded street markets and high culture. What it lacks in antiquities, Tel Aviv makes up for in commerce. One third of Israel’s population have made the bustling metropolis home. At weekends residents from nearby towns head to Tel Aviv looking for entertainment and relaxation and city slickers spill out onto the city’s beaches to soak up the Mediterranean sun along a six-mile (10km) stretch of golden sand. The diversity of the population is reflected in the architectural variations and influences such as the Yemenite Quarter and the Vodka cafes of Allenby Street. Tel Aviv also provides an ideal base from which to explore other parts of Israel including Jaffa, the Galilee and Caesura.

Climate

Israel has a Mediterranean climate that is characterised by long, hot, dry summers and short, cool, wet winters.

Health

There are no special precautions required for travel to Israel. Travellers are advised to avoid drinking tap water. Medical facilities are excellent but treatment can be very expensive so it is essential that travellers take out full insurance.

The basics

Getting Around

The easiest way to get around is on foot or by taxi. Taxi mini-buses (sheruts) follow the same routes as the public buses, often with more frequency and are slightly cheaper on weekdays. The bus system itself is extensive with a fixed fare in the city centre. Taxi cabs are not of any particular make or model car, but do have rooftop signs and are plentiful. Fares are metered and more expensive at night. Driving in Tel Aviv is not for the faint-hearted. Local drivers tend to be aggressive and impatient.
