Introducing Tel Aviv
Known as the ‘Mediterranean Manhattan’, Tel Aviv blends beautifully excitement and adventure with its rich culture, history and diversity.
As a destination it is mostly unknown when it comes its stunning beaches, yet its 14 km of glistening Mediterranean coastline is this city’s crowning achievement. Tel Aviv is known for its creatively ambitious and modern, dynamic environment. Inspiration comes in many forms, from the top-notch Tel Aviv Museum of Art, which features works by world-renowned artists, to the secret street art alleyways and avant-garde galleries strewn across the chic Florentin. A city that hardly sleeps, its food culture is as much of a main attraction as its places of interest and the nightlife and social scene is addictive, exhilarating and unmatched.
