A locals guide to Tel Aviv, Israel

Whether you’ve come to Tel Aviv for its pristine beaches or thriving nightlife, for its art scene or because you heard it’s one of the world’s friendliest cities for vegans, to experience its start-up culture or because of its charming neighborhoods, you’re sure to find what you’re looking for.

Each neighborhood presents a different side of the city, be it historical Old Jaffa, with buildings dating back thousands of years; artsy Neve Tzedek, with beautifully restored 19th-century streets lined with jewelry and designer-clothing boutiques; or Kikar Hamedina, with its sophisticated cafes and stores.

Tel Aviv life is about adoring the beach, enjoying the outdoors, lingering with friends over coffee, rubbing shoulders with strangers at a market and being open to trying new foods. It is about watching the sunset, strolling along a boulevard or the beach promenade and, if you’re young at heart, going out until the early hours of tomorrow.

Meet Viva Press

Viva moved to Israel in 1998 and to Tel Aviv in 2003. Her three kids have no idea how nice it is to grow up with 300 days of sunny weather and be able to do all sorts of outdoor activities year-round — quite the opposite from her Canadian childhood.
