Tel Aviv, Israel
Bustling, cosmopolitan
Tel Aviv is Israel’s second city – and modern coastal hub – likened by its fans to Barcelona and Miami. In a region shaped by history, it presents an altogether more contemporary face to the world, from Bauhaus architecture to the performing arts and pulsating nightlife. Begun scarcely 100 years ago on sand dunes, it’s since evolved into an outward-looking and optimistic place to explore 21st Century Israel.

Must see:
The Eretz Israel Museum in the north of the city is a world class assembly of archaeological artefacts that pieces together the story of the ancient Land of Israel – bringing the Old Testament to life in no uncertain style.
Must eat at:
Legendary chef Eyal Shani goes kosher at Bruno, a Mediterranean themed gastrodome in the Azrieli Building, with a philosophy based on fresh local ingredients and simple, delicious cooking.
Must be there for:
With 300 sunny days a year, you’ll be very unlucky not to catch some rays on a trip to Tel Aviv. The time to avoid, such as it is, is October to April, when it can be more prone to rain.
Well-travelled tips:
- Tel Aviv’s beach scene starts jumping on summer evenings, as Shabbat approaches and the drums start beating...
- Indulge in the Israeli love of basketball with a trip to see the all-conquering Maccabi Tel Aviv in action.
