Neve Tzedek

Sitting about halfway between downtown Tel Aviv and Jaffa is Neve Tzedek, one of Tel Aviv's original settlements. Comprised of beautifully restored houses, boutique shops, thriving cafés, and trendy art galleries, this neighborhood is undeniably one of the city's most beautiful parts. Recent visitors describe Neve Tzedek as Tel Aviv's SoHo. According to one TripAdvisor user, "Every year it gets better and better. There are more cafes and restaurants, more shops and boutiques—the only downside is that it is attracting ever more tourists."

This trendy neighborhood houses some of the city's premier art venues, including the Rokach House gallery and the Suzanne Dellal Center, where the Bat Sheva Dance Company performs. While you're exploring, keep your eyes peeled for the murals adorning many of Neve Tzedek's walls.

You can easily reach this vibrant region by bike or taxi from anywhere in the city. You can wander Neve Tzedek's streets 24 hours a day without spending a penny. To learn more, visit the Israeli Tourism Board's website.
