Life as a Local
While Israel certainly has many tourist attractions worth seeing, tourists can also experience Israel like a local and check out the hottest neighborhoods, restaurants, shopping and nightlife.
Tourists, like locals, can wander through the picturesque cobblestone streets of Tel Aviv’s Neve Tzedek neighborhood teeming with local design shops, art galleries, chic cafes, restaurants and wine bars. They can also head to the Jaffa Port which is full of artisan shops, high-end restaurants and an indoor market. The Noga Complex is a small yet burgeoning neighborhood full of clothing boutiques and great for finding unique art and furniture pieces. Jerusalem’s First Station Complex boasts restaurants, art galleries, a concert space and a farmers’ market.
Many of Israel’s newest hotels are also favorites among locals with weekly DJs, events and rooftop bars. With one of the most eclectic and exciting culinary scenes on the planet, tourists and locals alike cannot get enough of the multicultural dining options throughout the country founded by some of Israel’s top chefs.
Tel Aviv’s nightlife has something for everyone. From chic new hipster hangouts to speakeasy bars in unassuming locations to dance bar where patrons are known to dance the night away, there’s never a quiet night.
Finally, the Friday Sunset Drum Circle behind the Dolphinarium in Tel Aviv is a favorite among locals. Tourists can bring a drum or just show up and listen to the rhythms as the sun sets.
