TEL AVIV-YAFO (TLV)

Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel’s Mediterranean heartbeat, is a high-energy fusion of ancient history and 24-hour urbanity. The city’s White City—a UNESCO site boasting the world’s largest Bauhaus collection—contrasts with Old Jaffa’s 4,000-year-old stone alleyways. Its “Startup City” pulse fuels a world-class culinary scene and electric nightlife. Travelers can traverse the city via the Red Line light rail, cycle the coastal Tayelet, or explore the bustling Carmel Market. With events like the Tel Aviv Marathon and the Latino-America Festival lighting up, the city blends cosmopolitan luxury with a sun-drenched, secular soul.
