Things to Do in Tel Aviv, Tel Aviv, Israel (B)

Tel Aviv is Israel’s capital of cool, and though there aren’t a whole lot of tourist sites to see, there are so many interesting neighborhoods and markets that you could spend a week here, only dedicating yourself to one small area of the city and still feel like there isn’t enough time. These are some of the best areas and activities you shouldn’t miss when visiting Tel Aviv.

Also known as the Shuk HaCarmel, Tel Aviv’s Carmel Market is the place to come hungry and ready to shop. The market is divided up into sections, some dedicated to groceries, some dedicated to clothes and souvenirs, and some small kitchens and stalls for on-the-go eating. The market is clean, easy to navigate and full of friendly vendors who will be happy to help you pick out something to eat out of a vast selection you can only identify by pointing. Snack on hummus or shakshuka or sit at Beer Bazaar and work up an appetite before making the rounds. Don’t forget to try the babka.

Pro tip: If you want to explore the market with a guide, there’s a free walking tour of the market every Tuesday at 10 am. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
