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 Eretz Israel Museum in Tel Aviv is a multidisciplinary museum that presents land's history and its culture in an extensive permanent exhibition, as well as temporary exhibitions on a variety of subjects – such as ethnography, archaeology, folklore, Judaica, cultural history and local identity, traditional crafts and functional arts.

Tel Aviv has a modern, regular and widespread bus network run mostly by a company called Dan.
A lot safer than the bad reputation it burdens, bus services start at 05:00 and stop at midnight, though some of the lines stop earlier, so do check. Single tickets within the city and the close suburbs (Bat Yam, Holon, Ramat Gan, Bney Brak, Givatayim) cost 5.80 NIS, around $1.5US (as of Januray 2010).
Daily free-pass called "Hofshi-Yomi" is also available, and cost less than the price of three rides. Note that this ticket is only valid from 9:00. There is also 10-rides ticket (which cost the equivalent of 8 single tickets, so offering 20% discount) which could be used by several passengers. Visitors for long period would find monthly free-pass (Hofshi-Hodshi) the most economic transport ticket.
Tickets can be purchased either at the driver of any bus line, or at the New Central Bus Station. Exact change is not necessary, but a driver may refuse payment by notes of 100 or 200 Shekels.
Suburban lines are also operated by Egged (mainly to the southern suburbs) and Kavim (to Kiryat Ono region) companies. Multi-ride tickets are not exchangeable between companies.
The most popular bus route in the city is bus route number 5, which connects the Central Bus Station (departure from 4th floor, westernmost platform) in the south with the Central Train Station. It goes through Rotschild Boulevards, Dizengof Street (Including the Dizengof Center Mall), Nordau Boulevard, Pinkas/Yehuda Maccabi Street and Weizman Street or Namir Road.
Another popular bus route is number 18, connecting the Central Train Station with the southern neighbourhoods of Jaffa and Bat-Yam. It also has a stop in Rabin Square.
Like most Israelis, the bus drivers in Tel Aviv speak and understand English well, and in most cases will kindly answer questions about the destination of their bus.

There are 47 movie theaters in Tel Aviv Yafo, with a combined seating capacity of about 8,900 and an annual attendance rate of about a million and a half.
