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.

The Tel Aviv Museum of Art exhibits various permanent and temporal exhibitions at its home on Shaul Hamelech Boulevard and in the Helena Rubenstein Pavilion, next to the Mann Auditorium.
The permanent exhibits include some of the best works of Israeli art and sculpture from the 20’s until today, European paintings - impressionism and post-impressionism - from the 16th to the 19th centuries, as well as European and American works of the 20th century.
The museum’s graphic collection includes more than 20,000 prints and sketches.

The Carmel Market, Bursting With Life, With Surprises Tucked Away
For those who are mad about markets, this place is heaven.
And for fans of freshness, there could be no better destination – perfect parsley, the juiciest melons, the most marvelous mangoes.
Not to mention the meat, the fish, the cheeses, the flowers – a true cornucopia of flavors and aromas. Stalls line both sides of the covered market's main walkway, but don't miss the shops in the tiny alleys behind.
That's where you'll find the genuine gems: the cheese and smoked meat delicatessens, the barrels full of herring and other salted fish, all varieties of pickles, halvah and other sweets, even clothing and fabric shops. Your nose will guide you to the bakeries, spice shops and coffee-roasters.
The Carmel Market is a feast for the senses, an anthropological and gastronomic adventure.

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.
