Unofficially, the city is divided into 50 districts, in each of which there is something to see for a tourist.

But there are enough interesting museums, beautiful buildings, picturesque landscapes and restaurants with delicious food.

You can visit one of the oldest cities in the world - Jaffa. It is here, according to legends, that Noah built his Ark, Perseus freed Andromeda, and the prophet Jonah traveled from here. Now Jaffa is a tourist district of Tel Aviv, where there are many restaurants, workshops, markets, museums. Archeological excavations are still being carried out here.

It is worth visiting the Eretz Israel Museum. Its collection contains exhibits about the cultures, traces of which were found on the territory of Israel. The expositions of the Museum of Fine Arts and the Museum of Modern Art are also interesting.

Tips for tourists

On excursions, take food and water with you (here you should drink at least 2 liters a day). Prices in tourist places are much higher than in the supermarket.
The exchange rate at the airport is not the best, so do not change currency there unless absolutely necessary. Exchange offices are not open on Saturday (Sabbath).
It is better to get around the city on foot or by bike. Before renting a car, think carefully - parking is usually a problem in the center.
