Tel Aviv’s biggest and busiest marketplace is filled with colorful stalls and shouting vendors selling a variety of goods, from dried fruits and exotic spices to clothing and footwear.
Just minutes from our apartment Sao we visited several times during our stay. Closed Saturdays and daily closes at 5pm (winter time anyway) Always busy although actual volume of people varies (on 2 occasions daughter with grandson in pushchair gave up and walked along a parralel street as progress so slow due to crowds). Wares range from clothing to food with the latter being the main focus. So enjoyable to look at the stalls selling spices or nuts or fruits or Turkish baklava and other sweets and in late December many hanukah (Jewish festival of lights) related doughnuts and sesame seed cakes and the like. There are also some good falafel and other eaters in some of the side streets off of the main thoroughfare. Amazing atmosphere.

-Beit Hatfutsot is currently closed until further notice, due to the Corona virus crisis- Beit Hatfutsot, the Museum of the Jewish People, tells the ongoing and extraordinary story of the Jewish people. Beit Hatfutsot connects Jewish people to their roots and strengthens their personal and collective Jewish identity. Beit Hatfutsot conveys to the world the fascinating narrative of the Jewish people and the essence of the Jewish culture, faith, purpose and deed while presenting the contribution of world Jewry to humanity.
I had not been to Bet Hatfutsot for over 20 years, but having heard about its remodeling and redefining itself along with the interesting subjects they were exhibiting there, I went to the museum with my Israeli partner, who had never been there. We stayed almost 4 hours, visiting each exhibit, both permanent and temporary. Some of the museum is still under remodeling, but that did not take away one bit of the meaningful, exciting, stimulating and thought-provoking time we had there. It is a MUST SEE place, for Israelis, Jews and non- Jews alike. The children's exhibit should be experienced by all visitors, young and old.The exhibit there is energetic, creative, , fun and informative.The temporary exhibits on Bob Dylan, Ethiopian Jews in Israel and the war photographer, Chim, were curated in a state-of-the art design. But it was the permanent exhibit hall with the reconstructed synagogues and the films and the cartoons showing Jewish history, customs, prayers, dialogue and connection that was the most moving. The courageous and honest depiction of Judiasm both here in Israel and throughout the world as a pluralistic, dynamic and sensitive religion was so refreshing! I have nothing but praise for the Museum, its content and its message.

This museum is comprised of several exhibition pavilions where each is dedicated to a different cultural field and subject including Archaeology, Judaica, Ethnography, Material Culture and Applied Arts of the Land of Israel.
We came primarily for the Tel Aviv Crafts and Design Biennale, but the whole museum was lovely. We really appreciated the way the curators integrated many of the contemporary exhibits from the Biennale with relevant portions of the permanent exhibit, which focuses on the Land of Israel. The Biennale itself was fun, with a wide variety of innovative ideas on display. The campus is spacious and nicely landscaped, with exhobit buildings scatered thoughout for a fun indoor-outdoor experience. We visited in the evening so the temperature was pleasant. An added plus: The museum very strictly complies with Ministry of Health regulations around the covid pandemic. They make sure the exhibit halls are not overcrowded, they limit the number of tickets sold, they have alco-gel dispensers stationed throughout the campus. All the necessary logistics were executed intelligently and pleasantly. Two huge thumbs up!

Independence Hall- the birthplace of the State of Israel and the birthplace of the first Hebrew speaking city, Tel-Aviv. As one of the forerunners to the Historical Sites of the State of Israel, this house (cornerstone 1910) tells the story of the beginnings of the City of Tel-Aviv, Meir Dizengoff - the first Mayor of Tel-Aviv, and the famous ceremony which took place on May 14, 1948, as David Ben-Gurion declared the establishment of the State of Israel. Through audio-visual mediums come take part in the exciting moment in the birth of the State of Israel.
Even though this is not the real location, it is still a great place to learn about the events leading up to the Declaration of the State of Israel. The movie is very informative, all the pictures on the walls are really educational and the bonus is the rest of the historical information in the building. The models of Tel Aviv are so interesting.

This pedestrian walk is home for some of old Tlv garment district and the eclectic style of building. On Tuesdays and Fridays it holds an arts and crafts fair which is an excellent place to get local art or a unique piece of jewelry as well as gifts for the ones at home. Enjoy street performers and sometimes live music or kids shows. It holds a mix of old and new, buildings, shops, cafes and restaurants. Don't miss out on the icecream place located halfway through the main drag.

Before the port of Ashdod, there was the port of Tel Aviv. Nowadays the big ships are gone (replaced by some sailboats), and it's a great place to visit for shopping, restaurants, skateboarding and fun.

The Ilana Goor Museum, distinct in its dual purpose as both the gallery and private home of the artist, is a uniquely hidden gem in the old city of Jaffa. Housed in a historically rooted eighteenth-century structure, the museum allows visitors to see and feel the eclectic collection of famous Israeli sculptor Ilana Goor with Old Jaffa as a background storyline and setting. Within the walls of the beautifully-renovated structure lay over 500 artworks, both by Goor herself and by guest Israeli and international artists included in the museum collection. For the first time in Israel, you have the opportunity to admire works of art from the point of view of the artist/collector rather than as exhibits in a sterile academic environment. Despite the Museum's eclectic nature, each room features creations from different places and times. Each work of art has a different background and a story all its own. The Museum's uniqueness lies in the unexpected contexts generated by each artist, both on the human and on the visual level.
This was my favorite thing to see in Tel Aviv/Jaffa. One woman's wonderful, eclectic collection, including her own work. The building is amazing as well - and old collection of spaces tied together to make a large home right in the old city's walls. You really feel that you are a visitor in her fantastic house and that she would be the most amazing friend to have. Can't recommend this enough. Take some time to sit on the roof terraces and to poke through every inch of the this place. There is a shop that sells some of her work (with understandably high prices). This is such a one-of-a-kind place. Don't miss it.
