Old Jaffa and Trendy Tal Aviv
We begin our tour with a Segway or bicycle tour. Experience modern Tel Aviv with its mix of business and pleasure whilst riding along the busy promenade which goes from the north to the south of Tel Aviv. The tour will end at Old Jaffa one of the world's most ancient ports. Enjoy the art galleries, cafes, and boutique shops which are all part of today’s Jaffa scene.
We will continue to the first neighborhood of Tel Aviv, Neve Zedek. This pretty area is packed with beautiful buildings, arty boutiques and stories about the establishment of the ‘White City’. It is home to many artists, poets and intellectuals including the famous artist Nahum Guttman and author Shai Agnon. Tel Aviv is named the ‘White City’ due to the large number of buildings built in the unique form of the Bauhaus architecture. In fact, Tel Aviv has the highest number of Bauhaus buildings in a city in the world. Rothschild Boulevard is a great place to view and understand this type of architecture.
From here we will enjoy a stroll through the colorful Carmel Market and/or trendy Shenkin Street where we will have lunch.
If it is Tuesday or Friday we can walk along to the Nachalat Binyamin craft market. The atmosphere is like a street party – with colorful stalls, cafes and street entertainment. You can pick up unique hand-made mementos from the artists themselves.
In the afternoon we will visit an Innovation Center, The Center tells the story of the Start-Up Nation and explains the Israeli narrative of innovation, technology and entrepreneurship.
Next, we’ll take a fun Graffiti tour in Tel Aviv’s up and coming Florentin neighborhood and hear all about the many different street art creations. We will also have an opportunity to taste some local delicacies. (Time permitting)
BlackOut Dark Restaurant (https://nalagaat.org.il/en/about/) is our unusual venue for dinner. This is an exceptional culinary experience that will trigger your senses. Imagine eating in pitch black darkness served by blind waiters. When you don’t eat with your eyes, the flavors, scents and textures have a new meaning.
Afterwards for those that want to continue into the night our staff will accompany you to the Rothschild Boulevard area where you can have fun in “the city that never sleeps” and have a drink at a local roof top bar in Tel Aviv.
