Tel Aviv holidays

The modern, cosmopolitan city of Tel Aviv is the second largest city in Israel, and is Israel's cultural and commercial centre. Founded in 1909 on the outskirts of the ancient seaport of Jaffa, the city is a vibrant, modern metropolis, and home to almost 400,000 people. A portion of the city known as the 'White City' was declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 2004 and presents some fascinating examples of 1930s Bauhaus architecture. With its street cafes, Mediterranean beaches and vibrant nightlife, Tel Aviv is rapidly gaining a reputation as one of the region's most lively cities.
