Sightseeing in Tel Aviv

Beach is almost synonymous with Tel Aviv and for good reason. With a sprawl of prime Mediterranean beach, you won't be surprised if you want to spend your entire stay relaxing on the sand. Gordon and Frishman beaches can get crowded in the summer, so head north to Metzitzim for some quieter beach time, or south to Alma beach which is also a great place to watch the sunset.

While Tel Aviv is known as White City it's also a Green one, with Bikes being the preferred transportation method by many locals. Bikes are also a great way to see the city, and for 14 NIS (approximately $4) you can rent a city bike from any of the green bike stations scattered all over the city. If you're seeing the city on bike, you're seeing it like a true local.

For a taste of counterculture head to Florentine in South Tel Aviv that, in the past ten years, has blossomed into a Bohemian hub with eccentric cafes, furniture and design shops, and cheap eats. You'll feel inspired just strolling around these narrow, knotty streets.
