A brief introduction to Tel Aviv

An urban oasis overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, Tel Aviv is home to distinct architecture, an intriguing contemporary art scene, and an abundance of popular museums.

We recommend starting your trip by visiting the White City - a famed UNESCO heritage site that is renowned for its 1930’s Bauhaus architecture. While here, you will find some of Tel Aviv’s most important museums, including the Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv and the Bauhaus Museum. Be sure to also visit the Eretz Israel Museum, which displays the country’s folklore, crafts, and archaeology.

Tel Aviv is also home to an equally impressive art scene. Be sure to visit the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, where you will see masterpieces from Picasso, Miro, and many other famous artists. You can also explore the winding alleyways of Jaffa Port in the old city, where you will find local art studios, exhibits, and shops.
