Getting Around
Bus
Tel Aviv's buses cost ₪5.90 per ride and provide extensive coverage from the vibrant Carmel Market to the scenic Jaffa Port, but be sure to use a Rav-Kav card for easy tap-in payment and to avoid higher on-board fees. Insider tip: download the Moovit app for real-time updates and to plan your trips effortlessly, especially during rush hour!
Minibus
Tel Aviv Yafo's shared bike service, Tel-O-Fun, costs ₪4 for a 30-minute ride and is available at over 300 stations across the city, making it perfect for quick jaunts to places like the Carmel Market. To avoid extra charges, remember to dock your bike at any station before the time limit; otherwise, you'll start racking up a ₪1.50 per additional 15 minutes!

1. The weather here is quite changeable. Mornings can be chilly, but when you reach your destination, it’s already warm, and during the day, sunbathing can be quite hot, then become windy and chilly after lunch. You tend to dress in layers: t-shirt, sweatshirt, scarf, and memory foam, constantly putting on and taking off.
•
Honestly, it feels a bit strange sometimes, but that’s how it is here. 🤷🏼♀️
•
2. A slower pace of life or relaxation is normal. I’m a perfectionist and not a big fan of slowing down. But in Israel, everything is done differently. Events typically start at least 15 minutes late or even more. No one will be offended; it’s just the norm.
•
Also, everything happens quite slowly in banks and stores. There’s no need to rush. 😉
•
3. Water and skin dryness. Due to high humidity and a specific climate, it’s necessary to drink more water and carry a bottle with you. Your skin and body should be moisturized more than at home. The first time you notice your skin feeling dry, it’s time to hydrate.
•
4. Active sun exposure. I have fair skin, and I can easily burn if I don’t use sunscreen, so I always stick with SPF 50+. But even that doesn’t guarantee I won’t get sunburned. It only takes about 5-10 minutes in the sun for my skin to start turning red. I realized I have to adapt. 😬
•
Now, getting sunburned in February is a usual story. For example, if you’re out in the sun for a few hours, you can definitely expect to get red skin. I personally checked it out last Saturday. 😫
•
5. Sabbath and transportation schedules. On Fridays at 3 PM, public transportation stops operating, which means you either need to stay in town or walk, or take a taxi.
•
Also, many supermarkets and shops close by 2 PM. Everything reopens on Saturday evening after 6 PM.
•
Interestingly, on Fridays, if you have a delivery, you can get your groceries for free or really cheap. However, you would need to line up for that.
•
After spending 12 days here, I’ve learned a lot already. I’m going to start doing these things more often. 🙌🏻💙

Save this post, and it might come in handy for you. 💖 »
At first, it didn’t impress us much: we stumbled around a bit 🤣🤣🤣. But in the last couple of days, we really got into it. The city is very vibrant, trendy, and dynamic. It reminded me of a bustling summer park: well-maintained and lively, where everyone finds their own spot for coffee, work, socializing, or sports. In the evening, Tel Aviv comes alive in its rooftop bars.
There's hardly any accessibility here, and, frankly, the main attraction of the city is its atmosphere. And I would absolutely recommend flying there just for that.
Just don’t be late 😁😁. They say after March, it’s hell here. »
This neighborhood was built in the 19th century and is considered bohemian and fashionable. Here you can find numerous artisan workshops, boutiques, cafes, art galleries, and many of the buildings serve as a cultural heritage site.
I wandered around this area spontaneously, without any specific plan, and each building looks different from the next. Many tourists say that strolling through Neve Tzedek makes them feel like they are in Europe. I don't completely agree; there's more of an interesting blend of East and West vibes here!
Today, I'm just enjoying the walk here. 😊 »
In winter in Tel Aviv, the weather can change throughout the day – you might experience sun, rain, hail, cloudy skies, and then back to sun again. That’s how the skyscraper looks during cloudy days. I was there for work and managed to catch a stunning view! 🌆 »

It's great that I took a couple of days off and didn't write about everything I loved in Tel Aviv on Monday. Because after 3 days here, I'm already really into it. The best part is definitely the weather and the food. It’s 18°C in January, and I simply adore it, while the food in all the trendy restaurants is simply astounding.
Sending warm greetings from Tel Aviv! »
You know, I’ve fallen in love with Israel. »
Rothschild Boulevard lit up by streetlights is simply stunning! »
