Top 10 attractions in Tel Aviv
Old City
Jaffa Old City, located south of Tel Aviv on the Mediterranean coast, is an ancient city with thousands of years of history and a landmark of Tel Aviv. The Bible mentions that the timber used to build the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem was transported from here. Looking south from the Tel Aviv seaside, you'll see small hills surrounded by houses, topped with a clock tower – that's Jaffa Old City. The Old City is now mostly home to artists' residences, studios, and art shops. It has also become a symbol of the 12 zodiac signs, with fountains named after each sign, alleyways named after them, and wishing bridges for each sign. It's said that if you find your sign's relief on the bridge, gently touch it, face the sea, and make a wish, it will come true. Unfortunately, the wishing bridges are now closed due to disrepair. Wander through the intricate alleyways, along the cobblestone streets that record a thousand years of history, finding your own alleyway. Don't worry about getting lost; every corner holds a surprise. Perhaps you'll even find that orange tree hanging from a large rock somewhere. In the heart of the Old City is a square with a visitor center where you can get a free map of Jaffa. Below the visitor center is a small museum showcasing the city's history through artifacts and a 4D film. From the hilltop overlooking the Old City, you can enjoy stunning views of Tel Aviv and the Mediterranean Sea. Adjacent to Jaffa's Old City stands the 100-year-old Turkish Clock Tower. The Old City lies along the ancient harbor, now mostly filled with private yachts. Every morning, many people gather at the harbor to await the fishermen's freshest catch. Along the harbor are several seafood restaurants and some free art galleries—explore them; you're sure to find something delightful.Tel Aviv · 4.2 km from downtown

In winter, you can come to the wetland to watch migratory birds. Birdwatching platforms have been built, allowing you to keep a safe distance from the birds. You can also rent binoculars at reasonable prices. The staff will tell you the names of the different birds. When a large flock of birds takes flight, they block out half the sky—it's truly spectacular. The birdwatching platforms have sheltered spots, so you won't feel cold. There are also vendors selling local candied hawthorns at the entrance for ten yuan a skewer—sweet and sour, a refreshing treat. Watching them for an entire afternoon won't feel tiring; it's much more comfortable than watching TV at home.
