Tel Aviv (Hebreeus: תל אביב, Arabies: تل أبيب) is die tweede grootste stad in Israel (na Jerusalem), en die grootste metropolitaanse gebied. Dit is aan die Middellandse See-kus, ongeveer 60 km noordwes van Jerusalem en 100 km suid van Haifa. Die amptelike naam is Tel Aviv-Yafo (תל אביב-יפו), en weerspieël die feit dat die stad gegroei het (en opgeneem het) die antieke hawestad van Yafo (Engels: Jaffa, Arabies: يافا Yafa), suid van die nuwe middestad. Tel Aviv is die tuiste van die meeste ambassades in Israel.
Distrikte
Tel Aviv is 'n snelgroeiende stad te midde van 'n opwindende oorgang van mediumgrootte stedelike sentrum na die bruisende internasionale metropool. Sy bloeiende bevolking, energie, edginess en 24-uur lewenstyl gee die stad 'n kosmopolitiese flair wat vergelykbaar is met min ander stede in hierdie deel van die wêreld.
Tel Aviv is nie regtig in distrikte verdeel nie, maar in meer as 50 verskillende buurte. Sommige buurte is regtig kenmerkende gebiede met verskillende kulture (bv. Neve Tzedek, Florentin, Ramat-HaHayal), terwyl ander 'n geografiese gebied aandui. Tel Aviv het hoofsaaklik van die suide na die noorde gegroei, dus hoe verder u na die noorde gaan, hoe meer sal u nuwer geboue en welgestelde gemeenskappe teëkom.
| Noord Die rykste distrik van Tel Aviv (een van die rykste gebiede oral in Israel) is noord van die Yarkon-rivier. Hierdie streek is baie groen, stil en voorstedelik in vergelyking met die res van Tel Aviv. Die Yarkon Park, die Universiteit van Tel Aviv en 'n paar belangrike museums is hier. |
| Sentrum Dit is Tel Aviv soos die meeste mense dit ken - met toeriste-aantreklikhede, hotelle, strande, kantoorgeboue en winkelgebiede. Die sentrum word beperk deur die straat Yehuda Halevi- en HaRakevet in die suide, die Yarkon-rivier in die noorde en die hoofweg Ayalon in die ooste. Hierdie distrik wissel van nuwerwets historiese woonbuurte in die suide tot kantoorwolke wolkekrabbers in die ooste en van hotelle aan die strand in die weste tot die rustige woonbuurte "Ou Noord" in die noorde. |
| Suid & Oos Die suide is die armer distrik van Tel Aviv, maar sommige van sy woonbuurte het jonk en nuwerwets geword. Dit is ook die tuiste van baie buitelandse werkers en onwettige immigrante uit Suidoos-Asië en Afrika suid van die Sahara. Die ooste is 'n residensiële distrik wat dikwels vergeet word, oos van die snelweg Ayalon. Die twee oorvleuel in die suidoostelike buurte. Die New Central Bus Station en Hatikva en Levinsky-voedselmarkte is in Suid-Tel Aviv. |
| Jaffa (Yafo in Hebreeus, Yaffa in Arabies) is een van die wêreld se oudste hawens, waaruit Tel Aviv in die 20ste eeu uitgegroei het. Dit was hier waar die profeet Jona die reis begin het wat hom in die buik van 'n vis gelaat het, Andromeda is deur Perseus van 'n seemonster gered en Petrus die apostel het 'n visie gekry wat die skeuring tussen Judaïsme en Christendom aangedui het. Deesdae is die Moslem- en Christenbevolking van Tel Aviv in Jaffa gekonsentreer. Behalwe die hawe, is die ou stad en 'n vlooimark belangrik. |
Verstaan
Die kleinerige Golf van Jaffa was minstens 4000 jaar lank die vesting van 'n versterkte hawedorp. Gedurende die 19de eeu het die bevolking van die stad gegroei van ongeveer 2 500 (1806) tot 17 000 (1886). Die ou stadsmure kon nie meer die bevolking bevat nie, en dit is in die 1870's vernietig. Nuwe, ruimer woonbuurte het begin verskyn.
Tel Aviv (wat letterlik "Hill of Spring" beteken) is in 1909 gestig deur 'n groep vooraanstaande Joodse inwoners van Jaffa. Hulle beoog 'n tuinvoorstad in Europese styl met wye strate en boulevards. Om Jaffa te verlaat, was egter nie net 'n kwessie van 'n verbetering in lewenstyl nie. Om uit die Arabies-gedomineerde stad te trek, het ook hul geloof in die Joodse nasionale beweging, Sionisme, verteenwoordig. Voordat hy 'n stad was, was hy een van die vele titels van Theodor Herzl se utopiese Sionistiese boek Die Ou Nuwe Land. Met die groot visie het die 60 stigters van Tel Aviv begin met die bou van die eerste Midde-Oosterse stedelike sentrum met lopende water, geen wonder in daardie deel van die wêreld in 1909. Huise uit hierdie tydperk is nog steeds te sien in die Neve Tzedek omgewing.
Tel Aviv het geleidelik gegroei onder die Ottomaanse wet tot die Eerste Wêreldoorlog. Teen die einde van die oorlog het die Britte die Heilige Land oorgeneem, 'n gebeurtenis wat die Joodse gemeenskap as bemoedigend beskou het, terwyl die Moslemgemeenskap dit beskou het as 'n slegte draai na die Islamitiese bewind. . Tel Aviv word deur nabygeleë Arabiere gesien as 'n simbool van die groeiende Joodse teenwoordigheid in hul vaderland. In Mei 1921 val 'n Arabiese gepeupel 'n Joodse immigrasie-sentrum aan en dekades Jode is dood. 'N Ander groep het die vensters van die winkels in die Joodse straat in Jaffa gebreek, en 'n skare gewapen met messe en stokke het na Tel Aviv getrek. Voor 1921 het die meeste Jode in Jaffa gewerk en gewoon; na die aanval het duisende van die 16 000 Jode van Jaffa noordwaarts verhuis na Tel Aviv. Die voorstad het 'n stad geword en binne 'n dekade het Tel Aviv die middelpunt van kultuur, handel en ligte nywerhede geword vir die hele Joodse bevolking van die land (en die Britse soldate). 1938 was die opening van die Tel Aviv-hawe, 'n belangrike mylpaal aan die einde van sy afhanklikheid van Jaffa. Teen hierdie tyd was Tel Aviv reeds die grootste stad in die land, met 130 000 inwoners. Na Israel se onafhanklikheidsverklaring in 1948 word Jaffa 'n distrik van Tel Aviv en word die stad se naam amptelik verander na Tel Aviv-Yafo.
Tel Aviv-Yafo is vandag die hart van 'n vooruitstrewende metropool. Die grootste metropolitaanse gebied huisves ongeveer 3.1 miljoen mense, met ongeveer 392.700 in Tel Aviv-Yafo, wat dit die tweede grootste stad in Israel maak Jerusalem. Belangrike voorstede van Tel Aviv sluit in Bat Yam, Holon, Ramat Gan, Givatayim, Bnei Brak, Petah Tikva, Rishon LeZion, Ramat HaSharon, Rehovot en Herzliya. Daar word dikwels na die hele metropolitaanse gebied verwys as Gush Dan.
Terwyl Jerusalem is die hoofstad van Israel, waar die meeste regeringsdepartemente is, en Tel Aviv en sy satellietstede vorm die ekonomiese en kulturele sentrum. Tel Aviv staan bekend as 'die stad wat nie stop nie', en u sal agterkom dat die naglewe en kultuur 24 uur lank aktief is. In die somer is dit nie ongewoon om die strandpromenade om 04:00 met mense te sien druk nie, en die klubs en kroeë neem gewoonlik omstreeks middernag tot die oggend op, wat Tel Aviv 'n welverdiende reputasie gee as 'n partydorp. Dit is die toppunt van die sekulêre lewe in Israel.
Tel Aviv is waarskynlik die mees liberale stad in Israel en in die Midde-Ooste - aangesien dit nie minder liberaal is as die belangrikste stede van Wes-Europa nie. Dit het 'n bruisende burgerlike samelewing en is die tuiste van baie aktivistiese bewegings en NRO's. Sy inwoners is geneig om liberale houdings teenoor gay en lesbiese regte te hê, en in Tel Aviv word die grootste gay trots-parade in Israel aangebied. Dit is ook 'n bestemming vir gay Palestynse vlugtelinge wat nie hul lewensstyl in die Palestynse gebiede kan nastreef nie. Met sy liberalisme kom daar 'n dosis sofistikasie en sommige sal afsydigheid sê, en Tel Aviv word deur inwoners en nie-inwoners dikwels "The Bubble" of "Medinat Tel Aviv" ("The State of Tel Aviv") genoem. Sommige ultra-ortodokse Israeli's het die stad selfs 'n hedendaagse 'Sodom en Gomorra' genoem as gevolg van sy hedonistiese reputasie.
In Julie 2003 word Tel Aviv-Yafo as 'n kulturele verklaar UNESCO-wêrelderfenisgebied ter erkenning van die vele geboue in die "Internasionale" (of "Bauhaus") styl wat in die 1930's-50s gebou is. Aangesien hierdie styl die eenvoud en die kleur wit beklemtoon, word Tel Aviv ook die Witstad.
Oriëntasie
Tel Aviv lê langs die Mediterreense kuslyn. Die meeste besoekers vir toeriste is in die sentrum distrik, 'n reghoek wat deur die see in die weste gedefinieer word, die Yarkon-rivier in die noorde, die Ayalon-snelweg in die ooste en Salame-weg in die suide. Binne hierdie distrik is die meeste besienswaardighede wes van Ibn Gabirol straat, 'n groot noord-suid straat wat die distrik in twee ongeveer gelyke helftes verdeel.
Tel Aviv het van suid tot noord ontwikkel. Ou Jaffa is op die suidwestelike hoek van die sentrum. In die noorde daarvan is die eerste Joodse woonbuurt buite Jaffa, Neve Tzedek (wat "Oase van geregtigheid" beteken). In die ooste van Neve Tzedek is Florentin ('n ligte nywerheidskwartier uit die 1920's wat deur Jode van Salonika in Griekeland gestig is, wat in 'n moderne woonbuurt vir jongmense verander het, hoewel met 'n groot bevolking van ouer en arm mense); en dan die sentrale busstasie-gebied, waar tans buitelandse werkers van regoor die wêreld woon.
Ten noorde van Neve Tzedek is 'Kerem Ha'Temanim' (die Jemenitiese wingerd), 'n drukke, maar skilderagtige omgewing wat dateer uit die vroeë 20ste eeu. Oos en noord hiervandaan lê die middestad, 'n hoofsaaklik woongebied wat in die twintiger- en dertigerjare gebou is, waar die meerderheid van die Bauhaus-styl ("Internasionale") styl gevind kan word. Verder noord en oos is die 'ou noorde' (nie te verwar met 'die noorde' aan die ander kant van die Yarkon) 'n ruimer woonbuurt wat gedurende die 1940's en 1950's gebou is.
Inwoners van Tel Aviv praat dikwels van 'n noord-suid-skeiding in Tel Aviv-Yafo. Die noorde word gewoonlik geassosieer met 'n kontinentale, sjiek en voorstedelike leefstyl rondom Kikar haMedina en 'Ramat Aviv'. In die suide kry die stad 'n meer werkersklas en 'n Midde-Oosterse, al is dit ook nuwerwetse, stedelike gevoel. Noord-Tel Aviv is oor die algemeen residensieel en gesinsgerig; Tel Aviv-sentrum is die hipper-jonger area met baie enkellopendes en paartjies in hul twintigs en dertig; Suid-Tel Aviv is 'n vinnig versoenende gebied met 'n gemengde bevolking, insluitend ouer werkersklasmense, kunstenaars en trekarbeiders in Afrika.
Kultuur
- Kyk uit vir fietse en bromponies op hoofpaadjies. Tel Aviv se verkeer is verskriklik en daar is geen metro-stelsel nie, so baie mense gebruik dit om rond te kom.
- Rook in restaurante is beperk tot spesifieke dele van hul sitplek buite - rook is onwettig in restaurante. Die wet word selde toegepas, maar rokers word gereeld gekonfronteer.
- Honde wat muise op die openbare vervoer dra, is nie aggressiewe monsters nie; daar is 'n (sporadies afgedwonge) wet wat muise op busse en treine vereis.
- Om kinders na kafees en restaurante te neem, is normaal, en die winkelsentrums het gewoonlik kinderspeel- en borsvoedingsareas.
- Israeli's kan redelik aggressief wees oor die sny van lyne; moenie skuldig voel oor klein ou dames wat liggaam blokkeer nie, want hulle het geen probleem om toeriste te benut om 'n halwe lyn te sny nie.
- Shabbat is minder dramaties in Tel Aviv as die res van Israel, maar winkels soos apteke en supermarkte sluit Vrydagmiddag tot Sondagoggend. Of die restaurante en bodego's ("makolet" s) gedurende die sabbat oop is, verskil volgens omgewing.

Met die vliegtuig
Ben Gurion-lughawe
Tel Aviv (en Israel) se belangrikste toegangspunt uit die buiteland is 1 Ben Gurion Internasionale LughaweTLV IATA (waarna sy Hebreeuse voorletters verwys Natbag deur plaaslike inwoners). Oorsese vertrekrade na die lughawe noem dit altyd 'Tel Aviv', maar in Israel moet u dit 'Ben Gurion' noem. Ben Gurion TLV is 15 km suidoos van die stad in die stad Lod (of Lydda). Gebruik ook nie die naam nie, aangesien die toegangsroetes anders is. U kan die middestad bereik met die trein, taxi's of huurmotors. Dit is 'n rit van 20 minute, gevolg deur 'n baie lang soeke na parkeerplek. Daar is geen sherut-taxi vanaf Ben Gurion na Tel Aviv nie, hoewel dit met die bus reis.
Op Shabbat sal u moeilik die lughawe bereik of verlaat. Daar is geen bus of trein nie; taxi's gaan steeds, maar is ekstra besig, en vra ekstra. Kies nie 'n vlug tussen Vrydag 15:00 en Saterdag 20:00 na of van Israel nie.
As u uit die terminale op die grondvloer gaan en regs draai, en die verste pad uittrek, vind u busse na Tel Aviv en Jerusalem. Vra die busbestuurder om seker te maak dat u op die regte bus klim.
Met die trein:Die lughawe treinstasie is net onder die aankoms in Terminal 3. Direkte treine na Tel Aviv duur 15-20 minute en kos 13,50 ₪ eenrigting. Koop 'n kaartjie by die kassier of vanaf 'n outomatiese masjien; gebruik dit by die ingangshek en weer om by u aankomstasie uit te gaan. Beter nog, koop en gebruik 'n Rav-Kav vervoer-slimkaart, omdat u een in die stad nodig het (sien "rondbeweeg"), kan u ook een koop by die Kavim-dienssentrum in die terminale of 'n persoonlike kaartjie gratis uitreik. Treine loop Sondag-Donderdag 24 uur per dag, met die meeste van die dag 3 treine per uur en snags een per uur. Daar is geen treine op Vrydag of Saterdag nie - die laaste na die stad is Th 23:35, die eerste Su 05:35. Al die treine stop gedurende die dag by al vier die Tel Aviv-stasies, wat in volgorde van aankoms vanaf die lughawe (suid na noord) Tel Aviv HaHagana is (8 min. Reis), Tel Aviv HaShalom (13 min.), Tel Aviv Merkaz / Savidor ( 18 min) en die Universiteit van Tel Aviv (25 min). HaShalom en Merkaz / Savidor is die naaste aan die meeste hotelle en besienswaardighede; treine snags stop net by HaHagana en Savidor. Baie treine ry al die pad noord na Haifa en Nahariya. Naamborde in Hebreeus en Engels (en slegs Engelse aankondigings op die lughawelyn).
Per taxi: As u 24 uur per dag, 7 dae per week werk, is dit die gemaklikste en duurste manier om die middestad te bereik, met 'n tipiese ritprys van ongeveer ₪ 120. As u met 'n vriend of twee reis, kan dit 'n goeie idee wees om 'n taxi te deel. Dit is aanvaarbaar om op die voorste sitplek in Israelse taxi's te sit. Taxis is volgens wet verpligtend om die taximeter te gebruik, tensy die passasier en bestuurder anders ooreengekom het, en 'n tipiese rit na die middestad duur nie langer as 15–20 min nie, sonder druk verkeer. Moenie vaste pryse met taxibestuurders aanvaar nie, tensy u seker is van wat u doen; U sal gewoonlik meer betaal as wat u sou gevra het om die meter te gebruik.
Met die bus: U kan 'n paar sikkels bespaar deur busse eerder as die trein na Tel Aviv te neem, maar u sal waarskynlik baie tyd verloor en verdwaal. U mag Kavim regstreeks 445 vanaf die lughawe na Tel-Aviv neem (9,30 ₪), of u kan ook Egged's Line 5 neem na 2 El Al-aansluiting ("Tzomet El Al"), en neem daarvandaan 'n tweede bus na Tel Aviv. Die laaste lyn 5-bus verlaat die lughawe om 21:55 uur, en in die teenoorgestelde rigting van El Al Junction - om 21:15 (geskat).
Ryloop: U moet miskien die moeite doen om 'n taxi (veral op die sabbat) te vind en per lift te ry via El Al Junction, vanwaar u busse kan vind na Tel Aviv en Jerusalem, sowel as na die lughawe (bus nr. 5). U kan selfs hiervandaan loop vanaf / na Terminal 1, met 'n gereelde pendelbus na Terminal 3. Rit tussen die lughawe en Tel Aviv, gebruik die paaie noord om die lughawe - die paaie suid is snelweë en onvanpas vir lifte.
Sde Dov
Sde Dov, voormalige "stadslughawe" van Tel Aviv, het in die somer van 2019 gestaak. Enige bordjies of ouer verwysingsmateriaal wat u daarheen wys, sal u lei na 'n sloopterrein en dan na 'n verskeidenheid mooi eiendom aan die strand.
Met die trein
Israel Spoorweë (972 3-5774000) ry treine vanaf Tel Aviv noord na Haifa, suid tot Beer Sheva, en die binneland in Ben Gurion-lughawe. Treine vanaf Tel Aviv-HaHagana treinstasie na Jerusalem gaan nou via die Ben Gurion-lughawe en neem slegs 34 minute. As u wil neem wat oorbly van die ou - skilderagtige maar stadige - Ottomaanse lyn na Jerusalem (wat ook 'n stasie nêrens naby die middestad van Jerusalem bedien nie), moet u in Beth Shemesh van trein verwissel. Die afrigters is dikwels voormalige Deutsche Bahn-dubbeldekkers wat verras lyk om hulself verby lemoenboorde te draf in plaas van om die Bremen-Hannover-pendeltuig te gebruik.
Spitstyd in die treine is Sondagoggend, wanneer soldate na hul basisse terugkeer en studente universiteit toe is. Treine eindig op Vrydagmiddae en word weer op Saterdae na donker hervat, met inagneming van die Sabbat.
Tel Aviv het vier treinstasies, oos van die sentrum langs die Ayalon-snelweg. Treine stop bedags by al vier stasies, maar treine op laatnag stop slegs by Merkaz / Savidor en HaHagana. Van suid na noord, soos u met die trein vanaf die lughawe sou aankom, is dit:
- 3 Tel Aviv HaHagana Treinstasie, 32 HaHagana Way. Dit is naby die New Central Bus Station en die HaTikva Quarter en die voedselmark.
- 4 Tel Aviv HaShalom-treinstasie, 10 Givat HaTahmoshet St.. Vertrek wes (links) na die Azriely-winkelsentrum en torings, en oos (regs) na Kaplanstraat en taxistaanplek. Baie busse ry van buite die winkelsentrum. Dit is die naaste stasie om na Tel Aviv Centre te stap, maar dit is nog net 2 km vanaf Dizengoff Square.
- 5 Tel Aviv Merkaz Treinstasie (ook bekend as "Arlozorov" en amptelik "Savidor" genoem), 10 Al Parashat Derachim St.. Die besigste en grootste treinstasie in Israel. Goed om tussen verskillende treinlyne oor te steek, of van / na busse oor te skakel. Daar is twee uitgange: een na die stad Ramat Gan, net naby die "Bursa" sakegebied en ontkleeklubgebied. Die ander uitgang is na die busterminal van Tel Aviv 2000, waar busse na die meeste bestemmings in Tel Aviv en stadsbusse (ook na Jerusalem en Haifa) vertrek vanaf.
- 6 Tel Aviv Universiteitstasie, 95 Rokah Blvd. Naby die universiteit, Yarkon park, Expo Tel Aviv (Israel Trade Fairs & Convention Centre) en "Luna park" ('n pretpark).
Met die bus
Tel Aviv het twee hoofstadsbusstasies:
- 7 Nuwe sentrale busstasie (Tahana Merkazit) (suidelike Tel Aviv). Bied roetes na die meeste plekke in Israel, binne 'n kort loopafstand van HaHaganah Treinstasie. Die gebou, wat 'n kombinasie is van 'n winkelsentrum en 'n busterminus wat oor 7 verdiepings strek, is uiters verwarrend - eintlik is dit byna onhanteerbaar vir die ongereelde besoeker; toeriste wil dalk eerder die 2000 Bus Terminal gebruik (sien hieronder).
Verskeie verskillende busmaatskappye bedryf stedelike en stadsbusse in Tel Aviv: Egged, Dan, Metropoline, Kavim en 'n paar kleiner busse. Kyk na die elektroniese borde in vertreksale vir inligting oor bestemmings, platforms en aankomende vertrekke. As dit nie help nie, vra gerus by die inligtingshokkies. Egged en Metropoline het inligtinghokkies op die 6de verdieping. Die Dan-infostand is op die 7de verdieping (hulle hanteer ook inligting vir lyne wat deur Kavim bestuur word).
Die meeste busverbindings vertrek vanaf platforms op die noordelike vleuel van die 6de verdieping, behalwe busse na Galilea (Afula, Nasaret, Tiberias, Kiryat Shmona, ens.) Wat op die suidelike vleuel op 7de verdieping is (bereikbaar met roltrap vanaf 6de verdieping). Die meeste stedelike lyne na Tel Aviv en sy voorstede is op die noordvleuel op 7de verdieping (wat nie met die suidvleuel van dieselfde verdieping verbind is nie), met verskeie lyne op 4de verdieping wat eintlik op straatvlak is (insluitend die gewilde stad) reëls # 4 en # 5).
Verskeie stedelike lyne stop buite die stasiegebou in Levinski-straat (noordkant van die stasie), en ander is 'n blok verder na die weste in Har Zion-straat. Sherut-taxi's vertrek vanaf die Tzemach David-straat buite die oostekant van die stasie.
Alle persone wat die busterminaal binnekom, is onderworpe aan veiligheidskontrole. Wees bewus van u omgewing en hou u eiendom dop terwyl u veral in die nag in en om die hoofbusterminal is, want die gebied is 'n gebied met groot misdade - eintlik die enigste stedelike krotbuurt van Israel. - 8 2000 Busterminaal (Arlozorov-terminale) (langs die treinstasie Tel Aviv Merkaz / Savidor). 'N Meer gebruikersvriendelike busterminaal wat die sentrale busstasie vir die meeste reise kan vervang. Dit is langs Tel Aviv Merkaz / Savidor-treinstasie, dus dit is 'n goeie plek om verbindings tussen trein en bus te maak. Daar is inligtingstoonbankies, en die platforms is almal in twee gebiede waartoe passasiers toegang kan kry sonder sekuriteitskontrole. Hierdie terminale en sy omgewing is te alle tye veilig. Noordelike grensbusse (vanaf die sentrale busstasie na Haifa, die Sharon, die Galilea, ens.) Stop by Namirweg langs hierdie terminale, maar in spitstye is hulle miskien vol as hulle daar aankom. Groot stede in die suide en ooste van Tel Aviv het toegewyde roetes wat die Arlozorov-terminale verlaat: die 480 vir Jerusalem, 380 vir Beer Sheva en 280 vir Ashdod.
Benewens die Nuwe Sentrale Busstasie, was daar vroeër 'n Ou Sentrale Busstasie, maar dit word nie meer vir vervoer gebruik nie (die gebou is lankal gesloop en 'n parkeerterrein is in die plek daarvan gebou). As mense 'Central Bus Station' sê, bedoel hulle die nuwe.
Oor die algemeen hou busse die Joodse sabbat en stop hulle op Vrydagmiddag en hervat hul diens eers Saterdag na donker. Sommige dienste kan egter vroeër Saterdagmiddag begin. Minderjarige dienste kan eers Sondagoggend hervat word.
'N Daaglikse busdiens is ook van en na beskikbaar Amman deur die King Hussein-brug. Bel die operateur (972 4-6573984) vir meer inligting.
Met die motor
Tel Aviv is die middelpunt van die land se moderne netwerk van snelweë. Die stad is maklik bereikbaar vanaf die Ben Gurion-lughawe via die snelweg Jerusalem-Tel Aviv (roete 1), vanuit die noorde met die snelweg Tel Aviv – Haifa (roete 2), asook vanaf Beer-Sheva en die suidelike dele van die land ( roete 4). Snelweglimiet op snelweë is 110 km / h. Op ander interpaaie wissel die limiet tussen 80 en 90 km / h. Op stedelike paaie is die standaard snelheidsbeperking 50 km / h.
Per boot
Daar is geen veerbote of vaarte na Tel Aviv nie, maar u kan u eie boot na die jachthaven bring. As u van die buiteland aankom, moet u vooraf bel voordat u Israeliese waters binnegaan om immigrasie en inklaring te reël. Groot vaartuie moet 20 km suid na Ashdod ry, 'n groot kommersiële hawe met 24 uur toegangsfasiliteite.

Met die bus

Tel Aviv het 'n moderne, gereelde, goedkoop en wydverspreide busnetwerk wat meestal bestuur word Dan en Eier. Busdienste begin om 05:00 en stop om middernag, hoewel sommige van die lyne vroeër stop. Nagbusse ry tot 03:30 (Donderdag- en Saterdagaand die hele jaar, plus Sondae tot Woensdagaande in die somer).
Verskeie slimfoonprogramme, soos efoBus of Moovit of Google Maps, bied roetekaarte aan en bied intydse bus-aankomingsopsporing en reisbeplanning aan. Die meeste busse en treine het nou USB-laaiers.
Sedert Jan 2019, jy kan nie kontant op die bus betaal nie. U moet 'n Rav-Kav-slimkaart by die bestuurder of Rav-Kav-dienssentrum koop vir 5 ₪ (as u van die dienssentrum af kom, kan u net sowel 'n gratis persoonlike kaart uitreik) plus een van die gestoorde waarde om te dek hoeveel reise u benodig benodig, in inkremente van ₪ 30 of ₪. As u by 'n busbestuurder (₪ 10,90) gekoop het, sal dit slegs 1 reis insluit (nie gestoorde waardekrediet nie) wat onmiddellik vir die huidige rit gebruik sal word, dus om dit daarna te gebruik, moet u na 'n laaipunt soek of die selfoon gebruik app om te herlaai as u 'n NFC-module op u foon het. Sien Openbare vervoer in Israel. Die basiese tarief vir gestoorde waardes binne Tel Aviv en sy voorstede is 5,90 minder as die gestoorde waardesaldo; elke rit bevat 90 minute vervoer in die omgewing. Of u kan net sowel 'n toepaslike periodieke pas oplaai om u reise te dek. Aangesien hierdie reëling nuut is, pas die plaaslike bevolking dit nog steeds aan, maar dit is redelik eenvoudig. Dink aan hoeveel daar op u kaart oor is voordat u na 'n stadsplek reis wat nie 'n aanvullingspunt het nie: u krediet word na elke bekragtiging op die bekragtigingsskerm getoon of word op die kwitansie gedruk as u deur die bestuurder.
Gewilde roetes sluit in:
- Roete 5 verbind die Sentrale Busstasie (vertrek vanaf die 4de verdieping, die westelikste platform) in die suide met die Sentrale Treinstasie. Dit gaan deur Rothschild Boulevard, Dizengoffstraat (insluitend die Dizengoff Center Mall), Nordau Boulevard, Pinkas / Yehuda Maccabi Street en Weizmannstraat of Namir Road.
- Roete 4 loop noord vanaf die Sentrale Busstasie deur Allenbyweg en Ben Yehudastraat.
- Roete 18 verbind die Sentrale Treinstasie met die suidelike buurte Jaffa en Bat-Yam. Dit stop ook in Rabin Square.
Busbestuurders in Tel Aviv praat en verstaan Engels redelik goed, en is gewoonlik behulpsaam, maar altyd haastig. Hulle kan nie Rav-Kav-kaarte aanvul nie.
Roete 100 was 'n toeristegerigte roete wat deur toeriste-oorde dwarsoor Tel Aviv verbygegaan het, maar vanaf die somer van 2019 gestaak het. Wees bewus van verouderde toeristekaarte wat u kan lei na 'n plek waar die bus kwansuis stop, terwyl dit nie is nie.
Met die bus op die Sabbat
Met ingang van November 2019 begin die stadsaal van Tel Aviv en aangrensende stede (Ramat haSharon, Giv'atayim en Kiryat Ono) 'n gesamentlike vlieënier van (aanvanklik gratis) minibusse met 19 sitplekke wat op Sabbat loop. Elke derde bus (dus met tussenposes van 1,5 uur) het toeganklikheidsmaatreëls vir gestremde passasiers. Lyne 705, 706, 707, 708, 709 en 710 werk elke 20 minute van 17:00 tot 02:00 en op Shabbat van 09:00 tot 17:00. Amptelike lynkaart word geplaas hier (u moet egter 'n paar lyne in die legende merk), op haltes waar hierdie lyne deurgaan, en in die gewilde mobiele mobiele toepassings (Bus Near, efoBus, My-Way). Skedules en lynkaarte kan verander as / wanneer meer aangrensende munisipaliteite by die projek aansluit.

Met die spoorlyn en trein
Tel Aviv het geen metro of spoorweg nie. Die rooi lyn van die spoorwegstelsel sal na verwagting in 2021 open. Daar is hooftreine, maar u sal dit gewoonlik nie gebruik om binne die stad te reis nie.
Met 'sherut' (diens taxi)
Die 'sherut' ('sheh-ROOT') of 'service taxi' is 'n minibus met 'n minibus van 6-12 sitplekke wat op vaste roetes loop, parallel met sommige busroetes. Hierdie alternatief is dikwels vinniger en meer gereeld as om 'n bus te neem. In teenstelling met busse, werk hulle 7 dae per week (ook op Shabbat) en stop op versoek tussen amptelike bushaltes.
In Tel Aviv is sherut-taxidiens beskikbaar as diensroetes 4, 2 en 5 (maar hierdie taxi's bereik nie die treinstasie nie), 16, 51 en 66. U betaal nadat u u sitplek gevind het, deur u tarief aan die persoon voor u, wat dit aan die bestuurder sal oordra. As u voor sit, moet u bereid wees om die geld van ander passasiers aan die bestuurder oor te gee en die terugbetaling aan die passasiers. U moet vir die bestuurder sê wanneer u wil stop. Passasiers mag nie staan nie, dus as twee mense wil instap en net een sitplek oorbly, sal hulle nie saam kan aangaan nie.
Vanaf Augustus 2019 mag u ook Rav-Kav-kontrakte gebruik vir dienshuurmotors (enige periodieke pas wat geldig is vir die sentrale streek, of 6,80 aftrek van die gestoorde waardesaldo), maar op hierdie tydstip slegs op die taxi-lyne 4, 2 en 5 . Vervoer van 90 minute gratis na busse ingesluit, en as u van 'n bus op 'n reis begin, kry u 'n tariefregstelling (0,90). Rav-Kav-diens op diensmotors werk nie op Shabbat nie.
Met die taxi
U kan 'n taxi ("mo-NIT", Monic) in die straat groet of een skakel (teen ekstra toeslag, ₪ 3,30). Huurmotors is verplig om u 'n rit te gee, tensy u 'n prys betaal, dus moet u daarop aandring dat die bestuurder die meter ('mo-NEH' in Hebreeus, uitgespreek soos die skilder 'Monet') gebruik, tensy u seker is wat die prys is jou bestemming moet wees. En nee, die meter is nooit stukkend nie. 'N Plaaslike rit sonder meter moet 20-30 ₪ in die middestad wees en tot 50 of 60 na die onmiddellike voorstede. As u na 'n vooraf vasgestelde prys gaan, 'n bietjie met u bestuurder onderhandel, kan u gewoonlik 'n paar sikkels van die prys afslaan. Om vooraf 'n ooreenkoms aan te gaan, word veral aanbeveel op Vrydagaand en Saterdag en laat in die nag, as daar 'n toeslag is, en gedurende die verkeerstyd, want as u vasval in die berugte verkeer van Tel Aviv, sit u nie daar en kyk hoe u geld tik nie weg.

- Shekem, ☏ 972 3-5270404.
Die ministerie van vervoer het 'n amptelike vaste pryslys, wat baie munisipaliteite in Israel dek, indien nie almal nie. Hierdie syfers word ook na die meter gelaai, en wanneer hulle gekoester word, moet die bestuurder sy munisipale kodelys nagaan en die amptelike tarief nagaan. Hierdie lyste is slegs in Hebreeus beskikbaar, dus gaan hierdie pryse vooraf na met behulp van 'n Hebreeuse spreker.
Ridehailing is beskikbaar in Tel Aviv. Gett is 'n plaaslike opsie, Uber en Yango kan ook gebruik word.
Per fiets
Gegewe Tel Aviv se plat en kusgeografie, sagte weer en 'n groeiende aantal fietspaaie dwarsdeur die stad, is fietsreise in Tel Aviv 'n ideale manier om rond te kom. Verskeie winkels in die stad bied fietsverhuur aan, en goedkoper winkels kan vir langer verblyf vir 'n paar honderd sikkels gekoop word.
Sorg dat u u fiets te alle tye sluit en dit nie snags buite moet laat nie - selfs behoorlike slotte word binne 15 sekondes deur elektriese snyers gesny.
'N Fietshuurdiens word genoem Tel-O-Fun is beskikbaar in Tel Aviv, maar sal in 2020 gekanselleer word as gevolg van mededinging van huurdienste vir elektriese bromponies (sien volgende). Die naam is 'n woordspeling - die Hebreeuse woord vir 'fiets' word o-fun-ayim uitgespreek. Tel-O-Fun bied honderde nie-gemotoriseerde fietse te huur op huurstasies regoor die stad aan, op 'n eenvoudige en gerieflike manier met behulp van 'n kredietkaart. 'N Engelse Google-kaart van koppelstasies beskikbaar is. Soortgelyke motorhuurdienste, genaamd Auto-Tel, bestaan ook (sien hieronder).
Met 'n elektriese bromponie
Toepassings vir die deel van elektriese bromponies soos Lime, Wind en Bird het 'n gewilde manier geword om in Tel Aviv rond te kom. U moet 'n helm op u hê, anders word u deur munisipale inspekteurs en / of polisie beboet. Dit is ideaal vir vervoer op sabbat, wanneer die openbare vervoer beperk is en daar minder verkeer op die pad is. Om op sypaadjies te ry, is onwettig en kan 'n stewige boete oplewer, daarom is dit die beste om by die paaie en fietspaaie te hou. Alhoewel elektriese bromponies baie gewild is in Tel Aviv, is dit nogal 'n nuwigheid in die stad, en die munisipale regering ontwikkel nog steeds regulasies rakende die gebruik daarvan. Gaan die plaaslike nuus voor u reis na om uit te vind oor enige nuwe beperkings.
Met die motor
Ayalon Freeway (snelweg 20) loop noord-suid en is die hoofslagaar van die stad.
Dit is die beste om pendelverkeer in en uit Tel Aviv en omliggende stede gedurende spitstye te vermy (Sondag tot Donderdag 07: 00–09: 00 en 17: 00–19: 00), veral om die oggend via die Ayalon-snelweg Tel Aviv binne te gaan. spitstyd. 'N Gewilde en effektiewe navigasie-app gebaseer op verkeersbelasting is Waze. Onthou ook dat Israeliese bestuurders as aggressief beskou word in vergelyking met hul Wes-Europese of Noord-Amerikaanse eweknieë. Beweging is in Engels, Hebreeus en Arabies. Vermy, indien moontlik, 'n privaat motor in Tel Aviv en gebruik openbare vervoer.
Spoedbeperkings en bestuurswette word streng deur die polisie toegepas. Al met al is die bestuurstoestande in Israel baie beter as in die res van die Midde-Ooste.
Parkering in Tel Aviv is moeilik om te vind, selfs nie vir die plaaslike inwoners nie. Parkeerterreine is beskikbaar, maar duur (gewoonlik gedurende die dag ongeveer 25-30 ₪ per uur), en dit kan ook besige tye wees (dws 'n parkeerplek in 'n sentrale omgewing kan op 'n Vrydagaand vol wees wanneer almal in die gebied gaan eet en drink in die stad). Parkeertye en betaling word aangedui deur slegs Hebreeus-bordjies aan die begin van die straat. Waar parkeerplek aan beide kante van die straat beskikbaar is, is die instruksies van elke kant af verskillend en bordjies word aan die begin van elke kant aangebring. Let daarop dat nie alle betaalde parkeerplekke deur blou en wit verf ("kachol-lavan") op die randsteen gemerk is nie. As u betaal om op straat te parkeer, is daar 'n parkeergeld per uur (goedkoper as baie), gewoonlik tussen 09: 00-19: 00 (straatnaamborde wat aandui dat dit slegs in Hebreeus is). There are usually no parking meters, meaning you need to use payment apps like Cellopark of Pango. Alternatively, you can buy parking cards in advance from a kiosk or machine, and display them on the window closest to the pavement. Also, some areas of blue-white colored curb are reserved for locals with a zone sticker at certain times of day (mostly 17:00 to 09:00). It is forbidden to park where there are red and white or red and yellow markings, though sometimes only in certain hours, as indicated by signs (but those are usually in Hebrew only as well). The inspectors in Tel Aviv are everywhere and merciless, beware as you can get a fine of ₪100-500! There are generally more parking spaces in the south and the north (north of the Yarkon river that is) than in the center of Tel Aviv.
Hourly based car rental services are available in the city. Die Auto-Tel service is supported by the municipality and has received special parking spaces across the city, marked in green. Other services are also available, such as Car2go which is deployed in many cities is Israel.

Tel Aviv is a big place, and these listings are just some highlights of things that you really should see if you can during your visit. The complete listings are found on each individual district page alongside many more things to see in each district.
Starting in the Noord, die Tel Aviv Port is one of the most dynamic areas in Tel Aviv, including a multitude of shops, restaurants and nightclubs. Inland is Yarkon park, the city's central park along the Yarkon River.
Going into central parts of the city, you will encounter Rabin Square, the largest public square in Israel. Nearby is another important square, Habima Square. It is home to a number of cultural institutions such as the Habima Theatre, the Fredric R. Mann Auditorium and the Helena Rubinstein Pavilion for Contemporary Art.
A bit west of Habima Square is the Dizengoff Centre, Israel's most iconic shopping centre with a very lively food market every Thursday and Friday. To the east, in turn, is the district of Sarona with restored German Templer architecture, known for its picturesque paths and buildings, upscale restaurants, and luxurious food market, and the Azriely Center Observatory that you can climb to the top of the mall for a nice view of the city.
Further south in central is the Rothschild Boulevard with a lot of Bauhaus architecture, restaurants and cafes in what's regarded as Tel Aviv's prettiest street. Towards the sea, you can find the Carmel Market and Nachalat Binyamin arts and crafts fair. The largest and most famous market in Tel Aviv, Carmel Market is open all week except Saturday. Nachalat Binyamin Arts and Crafts Fair is one of the most famous in the world.
Highlights in the south and east sluit die Levinsky-mark, an extremely colorful outside market, and the Sentrale busstasie. Planned by overambitious architects, the station's incomprehensible vastness, multiple levels and intertwining corridors make it a model for what an urban jungle would feel like. There's also the Florentin woonbuurt, a previously run-down but beautiful area, which is now gentrifying.
In the southeastern suburbs there's the large Park Ariel Sharon. It contains the massive "Hiriya" garbage dump, which is being redeveloped as a nature and recreation site. You can visit the top of the 80m-high garbage mound, which is quite pleasant and has a stunning view of the Tel Aviv skyline. Park your car at the site entrance and wait for a shuttle to take you up (the last shuttle leaves around 15:00). You can also walk up on foot, if you can deal with the smell of a garbage reprocessing facility which still operates (due to the prevailing winds, there are no smells on top of the mound).
Jaffa, right southwest of Tel Aviv, features the Jaffa-kloktoring and one of the oldest ports in the world, now a must-see, holds various shops, restaurants and events. Jaffa also has an outdoor Flea Market & Bazaar, a market where you can buy almost anything for low prices.
Museums
Tel Aviv is home to a large number of museums. Some of the best known ones are Beit HaTefutsot (the Museum of the Jewish Diaspora) and the Land of Israel Museum in North Tel Aviv, and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in the center. Also worth visiting is Bialik Square, a beautiful Bauhaus square including the following museums: Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv, Bialik House, The Museum of Town History, Rubin Art Museum.
While Tel Aviv's population tends to be politically dovish and involved in peace activism, Tel Aviv is nevertheless home to many of Israel's militêre museums, which record an important aspect of Israel's history. Leading up to 1948 there were a number of different Jewish militias - the mainstream Haganah, the elite Palmach, the right-wing Etzel (Irgun), and the more-right-wing Lehi (Stern Gang) - and each has a museum of its own in modern Tel Aviv. Ideally, one should see two museums corresponding to different parts of the political spectrum - the Palmach Museum en Etzel 1948 Museum are recommended - to get an nuanced overall view. In some museums, you can hear personal stories from veterans who volunteer there - call ahead of time to find out. If you are interested in physical military artifacts like tanks and rifles, the place to go is the IDF History Museum, which has a large connection of these artifacts.

All three normally play in the Bloomfield Stadium in the southern part of the city, but it is closed for reconstruction. For the time-being, games are being played out of town.
Basketball is somewhat less popular among locals than football, but the Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball team is well known as the most successful club in Israel and one of the best in Europe, dominating the Israeli basketball league with over 40 championship seasons and 5 European titles. Die Hapoel Tel Aviv team is less successful and popular. Maccabi Tel Aviv plays in the Menora Mivtachim Arena in the eastern part of the city.
Matchs between Hapoel and Maccabi Tel Aviv are major events in the city, as the teams are as huge rivals as they come.

Scuba-diving: there's a couple of dive shacks and centers based near the Marina. Diving in the Med is really for experienced folk: there are interesting wrecks, and a fabulous ancient shipwreck was discovered near Caesarea in 2016. But compared to the Red Sea it's distinctly dark and barren down there, and the weather and sea conditions are tougher. Those wanting to learn, or novice divers, will do much better down in Eilat or elsewhere along the Red Sea coast.

Markte
Tel Aviv's markets are the best show in town, and they're bustling all day long. A Middle Eastern mélange of tastes, scents, sounds, colors – and lots of people. Friday is the busiest day when most Israelis do their shopping until the afternoon. Saterdae gesluit.
Tel Aviv's most famous market is the Carmel Market, which mostly sells fruit and vegetables, but also candy, clothing, toys, cellphone accessories, kitchen gadgets, and other goods. It is in Tel Aviv Center not far from the beach. Die Levinsky-mark, not far to the south, is the best place to buy spices, dried fruits, and different kinds of legume. A more upscale option is the Sarona Market, which has a variety of luxury foods and restaurants in picturesque surroundings. Laastens, HaTikva Market in the southeast of the city is reputed to be the most "authentic" market, keeping its atmosphere as the other markets have gentrified somewhat.
If you are interested in furniture, antiques, or arts and crafts, there are markets for this too. By die Jaffa flea market, stretching over a number of streets in the old Jaffa district, you can find almost anything, but it is best for antiques. Die Nachalat Binyamin arts and crafts market en Dizengoff antiques and secondhand market in Central Tel Aviv are equally good, but are only open two days a week.
Winkelsentrums
As malls are good places to catch some air-conditioning during hot Israeli summers, they have quickly become a preferred place of entertainment for the locals. The variety is usually mid-range, mainstream, with both international and local brands.
In Tel Aviv Center, Azrieli Center is the busiest mall. This area is also home to Dizengoff Center, the first mall built in Israel, as well as Gan Ha'ir, which is next to Rabin Square.
North Tel Aviv is the most upscale part of the city, and unsurprisingly the Ramat Aviv mall is also upscale.
Die Nuwe sentrale busstasie, designed as a combined bus station and mall, has large numbers of stores which now cater to a lower-class crowd, particularly migrants and workers from Third World countries. There are also a large number of vacant stores.
Winkelstrate
The air-conditioned malls threaten to destroy the concept of shopping streets, but many of the more special ones still survive, particularly in the city center.
Dizengoff Street is popular with the shoppers, as the street is peppered with numerous specialty shops, cafes, and restaurants, as well as the sprawling Dizengoff Center Mall.
Shenkin Street is known for its trendy cafes as well as designer clothing shops.
Second-hand clothing shops are getting very popular in Tel Aviv and you'll find them scattered all over the city.
Boeke en musiek
The country's widespread Steimatzky and Zomet Sfarim chains are a good source for current books. Almost every shop has at least a selection in English. Allenby St. has a number of second hand bookshops, most sell (and buy) English books. For music, check out Tower Records shop in the opera tower, on the corner of Alenby and Herbert Samuel. For the more alternative crowd, Krembo Records in Shenkin Street and Third Ear on King George Street will satisfy your needs.
Art, crafts, jewelry, Judaica
Gordon Street is famous for its art galleries. Ben-Yehuda Street has several Judaica/Jewelery/souvenirs shops. You can buy jewelry from Michal Negrin, a world-famous Israeli designer, in her shops at the Azriely mall and on Sheinkin st. The prices are much better than abroad. For more original crafts and Judaica, try the Nahlat Binyamin craft market mentioned above.
Eet

Tel Aviv has an amazing variety of restaurants for every taste.
There are plenty of fast food restaurants, offering both international and local Israeli food. One can get a decent and inexpensive meal, including felafel or hummous on every street corner. You can also eat a toast, sandwich or some other snack at one of the cafes around the city. Many fruit juice parlors are around.
Raphael and Messa are considered to be Tel Aviv's most elegant restaurants, serving gourmet and unique plates, inspired both by local and foreign cuisine although not kosher. There are many good kosher restaurants in Tel Aviv including Meatos, Bruno and 2C, which although pricey, offers gourmet food with great views of the city as it is at the very top of the Azrieli round tower.
The city is also known for being one of the best destinations for plant based eating. More than 30 restaurants cater to vegans with a wide range of cuisines and price ranges. The landmarks are Meshek Barzilai in Neve Tzedek, Anastasia on Frishman street and 416 near Sarona. You will also find many plant based options on the menu of most restaurants.
Finally, Tel Aviv's ice cream parlors offer much more than basic flavors, as the taste buds are eclectic and strive for new flavors, such as Halva, poppy seed, and even a touch of alcoholic liqueurs in the ice cream (try these places: Vaniglia, Iceberg, Gelateria Siciliana, Dr. Lek and Aldo).
Drink
- Individual listings can be found in Tel Aviv's distrik artikels
Tel Aviv is called "The city that never stops" by tourists and locals alike. It has a wide range of pubs, bars, clubs and it is known worldwide for its nightlife. The entire city is crawling with nightlife attractions and you would actually have to work pretty hard to find yourself further than 500 meters away from a place to have a drink. People from all the surrounding region come to Tel Aviv to have a drink or a party so on weekends traffic is hectic at late hours and finding a parking spot is somewhere between hard and impossible (so sticking to cabs is not a bad idea). Buses stop running at sundown on Friday and only start again after sundown on Saturday, so if you go out on Friday night you may find yourself forced to take a cab if you cannot walk! But any day is a good day to party in Tel Aviv, not just the weekends.
New places are opening and closing every day and the "hottest spots" change every couple of months, so no internet guide will be able to direct you to the hippest place (even though some may try). Checkout up to date event and party sites. Many places in Tel Aviv have minimum age limitations that vary from 18 to 30. Usually the limitation is different between males and females and while some spots may be flexible others will be as strict as possible.
Israel has no unique drinking culture so any place with any self-respect will have the entire world wide alcohol selection available, from Wine and Beer to Tequila, Arak, Vodka, Whiskey and Cognac.
Kroeë
The entire city is full of spots to hang out, and there are streets and areas that stand out with even more pubs/clubs, have a look at the districts detailing the scene.
There are a few well-known pubs that specifically cater to foreigners. Mike's Place, next to the American embassy, is an American-style bar which attracts a mostly-Anglo 20-30 something crowd. Molly Bloom's Irish pub and the English Pub, not far from Mike's Place, host many people from the UK and Republic of Ireland.
Clubbing
The Tel Aviv club scene is comparable to those in most European capitals. Top international DJs regularly perform in Tel Aviv, with clubs constantly vying to outdo each other with ever more extravagant parties. Up to date English language party listings are readily available online.
The biggest and newest club in the city is Haoman 17 (Florentin quarter). Other fantastic clubs are TLV, Dome (gay & Offer Nissim is the resident DJ), Vox, Powder, and the "indie" Cafe Barzilay en Studio 46.
Rock clubs, insluitend Barbie Club (Kibutz Galuyot St) and the Zappa Club (in the northeastern neighbourhood of Ramat haChayal), among others, host concerts almost every night of the week.
Billiards (pool) clubs include Sigeuner on Kikar Atarim (Atarim plaza)
Gay scene
Tel Aviv is home to the leading gay community in Israel and all of the Middle East, and is a very friendly city towards gay people. It's safe in Tel Aviv for gay couples to express physical affection to the same extent as straight ones, and can do so on all beaches (the "gay beach" is good for pick-ups, but safety isn't limited to there).
There are many gay clubs and parties. Some of which have been running for several years already (Shirazi's FFF line, which is taking place in the 'Haoman 17' club. The electro 'PAG' line). Others are changing from time to time. There is also a gay accommodation.
Most gay clubs have closed as the younger generation of gay Israelis just go clubbing with their straight friends. Many clubs do have gay nights, though.
There is a gay beach in the city, Hilton Beach, named for the Hilton Hotel adjacent to it. It is often full of young gay Israelis, especially in the weekends. Next to Dizengoff Center and on Rothschild Boulevard you may see gay couples walking freely all day long.
Kafees
Coffee shops have been an inseparable part of the Tel Aviv cultural lifestyle ever since the city was founded, as cafés were always the favorite hanging spots of the local bohemia. It is therefore no surprise that Tel Aviv boasts many cafés, which can be found everywhere in the city, offering aromatic Italian Espressos and Capuccinos (called "Hafukh", meaning upside-down, in Hebrew). Espresso-bar, Cafeneto, Café-café and arcaffé are some of the local chain-cafés. Aroma's the biggest among them. Feel free to spend hours in a coffee shop - no one will slap the check on your table or require you to order more stuff.
Bohemian 'Puah' (in the Jaffa flea market), Café Noah, Chic 'Le Central' (Rothschild Av.), and 'Tolaat Sfarim' (Rabin Sq. and Mazeh street near Allenby and Rothschild) are recommended for their very distinctive and Israeli café-drinking experience.

Tel Aviv has a wide variety of accommodation options, from camping and backpacker hostels, boutique hotels, right up to luxury 5-star hotels. The main area for a short term stay is in the center with a big hotels strip on the beach and many accommodation options all around. The center should be your default place to stay. Some places can also be found in the suid and will usually be cheaper (except the David Intercontinental).
Another option to cut expenses a bit is to sleep in the nearby towns instead of actually staying inside Tel Aviv. This is a very common practice for young Israelis that want the Tel Aviv lifestyle without the Tel Aviv cost. The most common options are Ramat Gan, Bat Yam, Holon en Givatayim.

Crime and terrorism
Regular crime rates are much lower in Tel Aviv (and in all of Israel) than in most other cities of similar size. Pickpockets are not a big problem, but you should be aware mostly in HaCarmel Market, Nachlat Binyamin market, the central bus station, the beach promenade and all of Jaffa and the flea market area. Although street crime is rare all around Tel Aviv, it would be best advised to avoid walking parks alone at night, or wandering alone in the southern neighborhoods late at night, which are a bit more rugged (in and around the central bus terminal, and south of Salame/Eilat Street including Jaffa - except Florentin). If necessary, a companion would be a good idea.
Terrorist incidents have decreased in the past decade and are extremely rare. Nonetheless, the usual warnings regarding being alert for bomb threats also pertain to Tel Aviv - beware of suspicious packages in public places (though don't over panic), and suspicious behavior on the part of people around you; if in doubt, report it! The local police are generally very friendly, and many of the law-enforcers can speak understandable English.
Security control checks are a necessary annoyance when entering shopping malls, markets around the central bus station, and most hotels, cafes and restaurant. You are frequently requested to let the guards look into your bag. It is best not to find it offensive or intrusive, and this check shouldn't take more than 20 seconds and end with a smile and a green light. It is also advised to carry some sort of identification documents on you at all times. Police officers may rarely stop and ask you for ID, and Israelis are required to carry an ID at all times.
Most Israelis aged 18-20 are doing mandatory army service. So teenagers in uniform are everywhere, and it is not unusual to see what appears to be a group of high school students, dressed like any other high schools students out on the weekend, all carrying rifles.
City buses are safe at all times of day and night, frequent, cheap, reliable and convenient. There is no need to worry about terrorism - it has been years since the last bombing on any Israeli bus. You can always approach the driver with any questions, and passengers are usually keen to assist tourists.
Aard
Tel Aviv has long, hot summers. Be sure to drink lots of water, even if you don't feel thirsty, and use lots of sunscreen.
When going for a swim in the Mediterranean, stick to the patrolled beaches with lifeguards, marked with flags and signs - every year people drown off the Tel Aviv coast when strong currents get them into difficulties. Also, at the beginning of the summer, keep an eye out for jellyfish (called meduza in Hebrew). Remember that during the winter months, though the weather may allow a bathe, the lifeguard service is inactive (official bathing season begins on April 18th and ends late in October).
