Tel Aviv is one of the Mediterranean\u2019s hottest backpacking destinations\u2026 and not just because the sun scorches over summer. An exploding food and drink scene, a shimmering coastline, fascinating cultural attractions and a nightlife that never sleeps makes Israel\u2019s most modern city a must-visit in the Middle East. Whether you\u2019re into ancient alleyways or avant-garde art, hummus or hedonism, beaches or bars (or both), backpackers aren\u2019t short of awesome things to do in Tel Aviv, Israel. Here are the ones you simply cannot miss!<\/p>\n

    Explore the Old City of Jaffa<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Jaffa \u2014 Yafo in Hebrew, Yaffa in Arabic \u2014 is the oldest part of Tel Aviv, and one of the most ancient cities on the Mediterranean. But this labyrinth of laneways has been dragged into the 21st Century by the uber-trendy restaurants, bars and art galleries that live alongside centuries-old churches, mosques and clock towers. Occupying a cliff that spectacularly sticks out into the ocean, Jaffa is home to a buzzing flea market, the quirky Ilana Goor<\/a> art museum, sculptures of the 12 astrological signs in the so-called Zodiac Alleys, 3500-year-old Egyptian ruins, and a string of superb seafood places around the historic port.<\/p>\n

      Hit up the Middle East\u2019s best nightlife<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Tel Aviv is a cosmopolitan mix of faiths and backgrounds, but the nightclub is one temple that unites the locals. Start your evening at a beach bar or a pub in hipster Florentin before heading to the hedonistic nightclubs around the Tel Aviv Port and the Great Synagogue on Allenby Street, or diving underground at the indie venues in the south of the city. Pasaz, The Block, Bootleg, Kuli Alma, Radio EPGB, Beit Maariv and the Breakfast Club are only a few names on TLV\u2019s long list of legendary nightspots.<\/p>\n

      And although cities like Beirut or Dubai might dispute the crown of the region\u2019s best nightlife, there\u2019s no doubt that the Middle East\u2019s most colourful LGBTQ scene sparkles in Tel Aviv. The annual Pride parade attracts more than 250,000 fabulous party-goers each June for the march along the promenade before an epic party on the sands of Charles Clore beach.<\/p>\n

        Hunt a bargain at the markets<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Markets \u2014 a shuk in Hebrew, or a souk in Arabic \u2014 are woven into the fabric of the Middle East, and haggling with the locals over the price of a juicy Jaffa orange or some antique lamp that looks like it\u2019s been lifted straight out of \u2018Aladdin\u2019 is one of the best things to do in Tel Aviv. Snaffle a souvenir and sink your teeth into some street food at the massive Carmel Market, the cool Indoor Port Market, the vintage Jaffa Flea Market, the artsy Nahalat Binyamin Market, the fragrant Levinsky Spice Market, or the modern Sarona Market, a 140-year-old building that used to belong to a German Christian sect before being turned into a food hall in 2015.<\/p>\n

          Lap up the beaches<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          A sun-kissed stretch of sand streaks from Jaffa in the south to the Tel Aviv Port in the north \u2014 and the best thing for backpackers is that they don\u2019t cost a shekel. There\u2019s the glam Gordon Beach, the laid-back Banana Beach, the gay-friendly Hilton Beach, the heated games of Matkot (beach tennis) at Geula Beach, the surf lessons at Dolphinarium Beach, and a stack of other azure Mediterranean swimming spots straddling the western edge of the city. Stroll or cycle down the seaside promenade, grab a coffee (or something stronger) at one of the dozens of beach bars, and take a dip in the Olympic-sized Gordon Pool sandwiched between the marina and the boardwalk.<\/p>\n

            Sniff out street art<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            Well, to be honest, street art isn\u2019t really something you need to sniff out in Tel Aviv \u2014 it smacks you in the face as soon as you hop out of the bus station, a multi-storey maze caked in spray paint from head to toe. Elsewhere, the entirety of the Florentin neighbourhood feels like an open-air art gallery, photorealist murals by Rami Meiri line the beachside HaYarkon Street, technicolour masterpieces light up the Old Jaffa Port, and Dede\u2019s ubiquitous band-aids plaster every inch of the city. Intrepid backpackers should also venture an hour south to Bethlehem to spot Banksy\u2019s most iconic originals.<\/p>\n

              Feast on hummus<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              No food fuels Tel Aviv quite like hummus \u2014 the creamy chickpea mash you\u2019ll spot locals scooping up with a warm piece of pita bread everywhere from picnics in the park to Israel\u2019s swankiest restaurants. Abu Hassan on Ha-Dolfin Street in Jaffa is the stuff of legend \u2014 you\u2019ll witness long queues snaking out from under its green awning, patiently waiting to either dine-in or take-away. Hummus aficionados should also tuck into the Son of the Syrian in the quaint Yemenite Quarter, Mashawasha in the city centre, Garger HaZahav in the Levinsky Market plus Shlomo and Doron in the Carmel Market, as well as Kaspi’s six locations across the city.<\/p>\n

                \n
              1. \n

                Stroll down Rothschild Boulevard<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                This swanky tree-lined boulevard is the spine of the city, linking fashionable Neve Tzedek in the south with artistic HaBima Square in the north. Rothschild Boulevard\u2019s upscale cafes and boutiques might fall outside of a backpacker\u2019s budget, but this leafy stroll is one of the top free things to do in Tel Aviv. The ancient streets of Neve Tzedek are now brimming with cute coffee shops and avant-garde galleries, and at the other end, HaBima Square is where you\u2019ll find the world\u2019s first Hebrew language theatre plus a sunken garden blasting classical music underground.<\/p>\n

                Rothschild Boulevard is also the best place to admire TLV\u2019s famous Bauhaus architecture. German Jews brought this distinctive design to Israel in the 1930s, building more than 4000 asymmetrical cube-like structures across Tel Aviv \u2014 more than any other city on earth, earning the so-called White City its place on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2003. The Bauhaus Centre near Dizengoff Square is a must for architecture nerds.<\/p>\n

                Also in the city centre, Rabin Square \u2014 a tribute to the Israeli prime minister who was assassinated here in 1995 \u2014 is Tel Aviv\u2019s central plaza, while Bialik Street \u2014 named after the Hebrew national poet Hayyim Nahman Bialik \u2014 contains his old home, the house and museum of pioneering Israeli artist Reuben Rubin, as well as the country\u2019s oldest photo shop Zalmania, showing off thousands of historic photos stretching back to 1936.<\/p>\n

                  Picnic in Park HaYarkon<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                  If Rothschild Boulevard is the spine of Tel Aviv, then this urban oasis is the lungs. Named after the river that trickles through it, Park HaYarkon is kind of like New York\u2019s Central Park\u2026 except it\u2019s located on the northern outskirts of the city. It\u2019s well worth the trek, though \u2014 there\u2019s a water park, a sports centre with a rock-climbing wall and a skate park, gardens sprouting 3500 species of exotic plants, a bird sanctuary and two concert venues. Not to mention almost four square kilometres of chilled-out lawns for a picnic, a game of football, or a lazy afternoon watching all the joggers and cyclists doing all the exercise you can\u2019t be bothered with. Come on, you\u2019re on holiday!<\/p>\n

                    Get cultural at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                    Israel\u2019s largest art museum sits on every list of things to do in Tel Aviv. The gallery houses a cutting-edge collection of art from around the country and across the globe, featuring Picasso, Dali, Rodin, Monet – all the big names. The museum first opened its doors in 1932 but its most eye-catching addition came in 2011 with the brand spanking new Herta and Paul Amir Building, an architectural marvel centred on a swirling atrium that\u2019s been likened to a sideways radiator, a crushed envelope, and a Rubik\u2019s cube bleached of colour.<\/p>\n

                      Escape the city<\/h2>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

                      Tel Aviv is also a great launchpad for a day trip to two of Israel\u2019s must-see sights: Masada and the Dead Sea. About two hours\u2019 drive north of the city, plenty of travel agencies offer one-day tours of these iconic Israeli landmarks. Start the day with a steep climb up to Masada \u2014 a 2000-year-old clifftop fortress where the ancient Jews mounted a fabled (and ill-fated) stand against Roman troops \u2014 then soothe your jelly legs in the healing waters of the Dead Sea, which is 10 times saltier than the ocean. Sitting more than 430 metres below sea level, this mineral-rich lake is the lowest point on earth. Swimming\/floating in the still water is a blissfully serene experience \u2013 just don\u2019t make the mistake of dunking your head under its eye-stingingly salty surface!<\/p>\n

                        Abraham Hostel is one of the best budget places to stay in Tel Aviv, with family shabbat dinners, events like yoga classes and pub crawls, plus a prime location just steps from Rothschild Boulevard. They’ve also got a buzzing bar and beautiful rooftop terrace and much like the rest of the city, they know how to throw a party! Luckily they also have the perfect hangover cure – free breakfast on the roof with incredible city views. See you on the dancefloor!<\/p>\n
