Amazing Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv

It is a modern, uncluttered and clean city. It is the financial center of Israel, and is a beautiful metropolis, located along the Mediterranean Sea with beaches always full of families, young people and tourists.

The summer time is a time of life that permeates it to the city, its terraces, bars, restaurants are open until late in the evening, quite relaxed people walk the streets with enough summer clothes,their

wonderful beaches and has some splendid sunsets as the Sun is getting around 21:00 to 21:30 hours, hours extra of light and heat that makes its beaches exuberant.

One of the things that I liked this city was a promenade filled with itinerant sales, music, joy, and artists Street, finally gives you a print out of place that really live this country, violence andterrorism to the order of the day.

Night life in Tel Aviv, has nothing to envy to the European cities, you can find all kinds of bars, clubs and all sorts of shows, live music in special oriental music, which to my I particularly love.

There is all kinds of restaurants, and the food is spectacularly delicious especially eh humus and the famous falafel. Israeli cuisine is basically Mediterranean and delicious.

He has very exquisite design and modern malls, but something that might be a little shocking for the tourist who is unknown to the political situation in this country is that to enter any Mall ormarket entries will be flanked by the police or the army itself, having to go through a metal detector.

Another interesting aspect is to see especially in the stations main train and bus to hundreds of young people, both boys and girls in military uniform carrying machine guns and rifles, since TelAviv is more or less in the center of the country and is a place of heavy traffic to these young people that go or come from their homes to their military bases. Military service in this country iscompulsory from the age of 18; for 2 years and for boys 3 girls.

Tel Aviv has everything a tourist may require, has a huge variety of museums, parks, beaches, markets, historical sites and ancient part called Jaffa (Yafo), which we'll see in another entry.

Almost 1 1/2 years I lived in this beautiful city and my favorite places were the

-The Rabin square

-The square of Dizengoff (which was where he lived)

-The Marina

-In the old Jaffa clock tower

-The Marina where could spend hours simply watching people or a sunset

-The beautiful Rothschild Boulevard

-The Hearken Park, a place to rest in the shade

-The famous market of HaCarmel where I loved to go shopping or just to see how the daily life of this city unfolded

I think at least a three-day visit is the obligatory in this city, you will not disappoint
