Tel Aviv is much more than its famous, gorgeous beaches, vibrant downtown streets, and energetic nightlife – it is a city of art, culture, and some of the best and most unique museums in the world. One of the examples is the Ilana Goor Museum located in the historic Old Jaffa quarter, in a restored 18th-century building overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. It houses some 500 artworks and antiques, including about 300 sculptures from Israel, Africa, and Latin America.  Other notable and truly various examples are Nachum Gutman Museum of Art, Steinhardt Museum of Natural History, Israel Defense Forces History Museum, Independence Hall Museum in the Shalom Mayer Tower, or Whiskey Bar and Museum. You will not make a mistake visiting any of these. Let’s check out a few more.

The streets of Tel Aviv are loved by tourists because they are filled with street art, bars, restaurants, beaches, book fairs, concerts, the locals themselves, and all sorts of other interesting things. But these streets are named after writers, artists, politicians, leaders, and others, and each tells their part of the story of Israel’s history and culture. Here are just a few streets named after historical figures, which you can visit and learn about on your escorted tour to Israel.

No tour to Israel is complete without an art tour. Tel Aviv is a culture and arts center with a museum for everybody’s taste. If you’d rather not go to a traditional museum, we’ve got great news for you. You can take an alternative art tour, visiting unusual art spaces and galleries, artists’ studios, or streets filled with graffiti by incredibly talented street artists. If you’d like to learn some Hebrew through art, you can do that too! Wherever you turn in Tel Aviv, there is art welcoming you, so here are some fun art tours for you to enjoy.

To fully experience Tel Aviv, Israel's Mediterranean coastal city, this once-in-a-lifetime experience should include exploring its exquisite cuisine. The list of the restaurants goes on and on, and it seems impossible to choose the best one to enjoy lunch time or an evening dinner. Another difficulty tourists face is finding a kosher restaurant, since many of the restaurants in Tel-Aviv are not kosher. To help you get the most of your tours to Israel and enjoy every meal, here is the list of the top seven kosher restaurants in Tel Aviv.

No matter your interest or objective when visiting Tel Aviv, there is something for everyone. From its Bauhaus architecture to the variety of international cuisines and highly rated restaurants, Tel Aviv is a modern city that retains much of its quaint charm and history.

Summertime and the livin’ is easy. Right? Some Americans with fulltime jobs may not enjoy the easy living of summer months. Friday afternoons they rush to their summer getaways only to spend a few days by a lake, beach, or pool. However, the lucky travelers journeying to Israel this summer can truly experience what relaxing waterside locations Israel has to offer.
