Twenty-two years before the founding of Tel Aviv, Jews left the walls of Jaffa and built in nearby Neve Tzedek.
These beautifully restored houses and streets preserve the romance of the early days of Jewish urban settlement.
A walking tour of Neve Tzedek is a must for romantics, history lovers and fans of small, winding alleys.
This is where the citys first cinema was built in 1914.
The Nahum Gutman Museum is located here in the home of the artist who immortalized the early days of Tel Aviv and Jaffa landscapes in his colorful paintings.
The neighborhood was nicknamed Little Paris because of its eye-opening architectural innovations.
Today, the most outstanding site is the Suzanne Dellal Centre, a bustling dance and theater complex.
How romantic to sit in the cafes and browse in the boutiques and designers shops, to see how a charming historic neighborhood survives surrounded by the skyscrapers of progress, enveloping a preserve of Jewish pioneering.

70 years after its establishment, Tel Aviv’s Port became the city's premier entertainment center, with dance clubs, cafes and restaurants at the water's edge and great shops featuring the work of Israeli designers.
The port attracts to its wide wooden promenade thousands of people seeking to combine food, shopping and entertainment with romantic red sunsets, salty sea breezes and white sails on the horizon.
If you get here after noontime on a Saturday, forget it – you'll quickly discover that you're not the only one in pursuit of this magical combination.
A bridge across the Yarkon River connects the port to the historic old Reading power station, whose cavernous interior now serves as an exciting venue for post-Modern design and art exhibitions.
Near the bridge is a foot and bicycle path called the Yarkon Promenade that heads east along the banks of the river into the Yarkon National Park – 875 acres of greenery, water, playing fields and leisure activities for the whole family.

The White City (Hebrew: העיר הלבנה‎, Ha-Ir HaLevana) refers to a collection of over 4,000 Bauhaus or International style buildings built in Tel Aviv from the 1930s by German Jewish architects who immigrated to the British Mandate of Palestine after the rise of the Nazis. Tel Aviv has the largest number of buildings in this style of any city in the world. Preservation, documentation, and exhibitions have brought attention to Tel Aviv's collection of 1930s architecture. In 2003, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proclaimed Tel Aviv's White City a World Cultural Heritage site, as "an outstanding example of new town planning and architecture in the early 20th century."[1] The citation recognized the unique adaptation of modern international architectural trends to the cultural, climatic, and local traditions of the city.

We have a promenade, a long promenade, running alongside the seashore that makes up the western edge of Tel Aviv-Jaffa.
There, we walk or jog, ride bikes, sit on benches, fill our lungs with fresh air. A glorious 8.7 miles of open views, blue horizons, white sails bobbing on the waves, kite surfers and windsurfers all around.
There's a daytime promenade, and there's the nighttime version. Dozens of restaurants, cafes, and ice cream parlors are busy all day long, while pubs, discos and jazz clubs blossom after dark.
Regardless of the hour, human attractions abound – clowns, caricaturists, tattoo artists, hair-braiders, magicians and of course, the ever- changing parade of people strolling by The nearby beaches beckon.
Clean sand, lounge chairs, ice-cream vendors and diehard beach-lovers that swim daily, winter and summer, no matter what.
Each beach has its own unique character.
A few tips: On the Dolphinarium beach on Friday afternoons, for instance, you can join an improvised percussion festival, and the Brazilian martial arts/dance/music combination called capoeira.
Go to Gordon beach for beach volleyball.
The religiously observant will find gender- segregated swimming close to the Tel Aviv port.
The gay-lesbian community will gravitate to the stretch near the Hilton, which has earned the unofficial title of Tel Aviv's gay-friendliest beach.
At the Metzitzim beach, you can let your dogs and your hormones run wild among the assembled babes and hunks.
