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.

Tel Aviv has a Mediterranean climate with hot, rainless, yet humid summers, pleasant to erratic springs and autumns, and typically chilly, wet winters (Köppen climate classification Csa). Humidity tends to be high year-round due to the city's proximity to the sea. In winter, average temperatures are usually between 9 °C (48 °F) and 17 °C (63 °F), with temperatures as low as 6 °C (43 °F) on colder bright mornings. In summer the average is 26 °C (79 °F), with daytime temperatures sometimes exceeding 32 °C (90 °F). Despite the high humidity, precipitation during summertime is rare. Tel Aviv averages 530.7 millimeters (20.9 in) of precipitation annually which usually occur from September through May. The most precipitation fall in winter, usually with thunderstorms and sometimes as hail, snow is very rare yet occurred one time in February 1950. Tel Aviv enjoys long daytime with more than 300 sunny days a year.

A municipal sculpture project was recently completed in which some 60 sculptures and other artistic creations by Israeli artists have been put on display since 1988 along boulevards and in parks, streets and public squares, joining the 36 works that had previously been positioned. The 96 works were fashioned by 63 artists, thus ensuring a wide range of stylistic variety.

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.
