About Tel Aviv

Often called the 'party capital of the Middle East', there's much more to Tel Aviv than just a lively night scene. Founded on the ancient port of Jaffa at the start of the 20th century, the city has developed into a metropolitan hub. Its magnificent White City was designated an UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2003 due to it having the highest concentration of international building designs in the world. The best places to stay in Tel Aviv range from historic beauties to chic, modern hotels.

Things not to miss:

  • Tel Aviv has a number of fascinating museums. Amongst the best are the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and The Museum of the Jewish People.
  • Go and explore the historic beauty of the Old City of Jaffa. It boasts a whole range of features including beautiful mosques, churches, bridges and clock towers. A great place to discover by foot.
  • Visit the bustling stalls of Carmel Market, the city's largest market place.
