Tel Aviv Yafo Prices

« I enjoy sunny baths ☀️
Tel Aviv, in Hebrew, means "Hill of Spring" 🌿🌳 We live 25 minutes from the center, full of entertainment and vibrant nightlife that never sleeps 🥳. However, it’s been around 10 years since I’ve been there! The charge for the electric bike battery 🚲 isn't enough for a round trip, plus you want to hang around there too. The only bus, route 353 🚍, doesn't run often and isn't always reliable - not very dependable. You can take a taxi to the central bus station, and a ticket for one way costs about $1.70 (7 shekels). Of course, traveling by car is the most comfortable option, and you're not tied to schedules. However, parking fees in Tel Aviv are around $5.30 per hour (20 shekels), and it doesn't matter if you're heading to the beach or the shopping center. Free parking is almost non-existent in town. Plus, there’s a high chance of getting stuck in traffic during rush hours. 🚦🚐🚘🚙. It’s also possible to walk 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️. We had an experience when we missed the last bus before Shabbat and ended up around 20 km away. Not that far, but we decided to call a taxi 🚖. It’s not the cheapest option in Israel either. The fare from Tel Aviv to Ayalot is definitely not less than $29 (100 shekels). The distance is approximately 25 km. And in general, living here is not exactly cheap (for us). I'll write about the prices of some goods soon. If you're interested in specific prices, just ask in the comments, and I'll let you know.
But that's the situation with Tel Aviv from our perspective :) We live nearby, but I can mostly only see the roads 🤣. »

« Journalist Lia Geldman loves the flea market in Jaffa not only for its vintage treasures (though where else can you find a crystal ashtray for $3?). So many atmospheric places have opened around the market that the area has snatched the title of the trendiest in Tel Aviv. »

« We went up to the observation deck of the Azrieli Center. It's on the 49th floor. The entry fee is about $6. The glass is dirty, and the view isn’t a full 360 degrees, more like a bit over half a circle. There's also a bar and restaurant on this floor, and they often host private events, so it's a good idea to check the operating hours on their website. »

« See the sea? The observation deck on the 49th floor of the Azrieli complex, priced at one smoothie ($6), proudly goes by the name Azrieli Observatory. It's not a must-see. But we can't resist an observation deck. »

« It turns out that prices are high all across Israel, not just in our neighborhood, although maybe a bit lower here. The average salary is around $2,000. Cosmetics are quite expensive; you won't find luxury creams for less than $300 for a couple of them. Cigarettes cost $10 a pack. Water is $2.50. Food is more interesting; it’s light and delicious (with huge portions) because it’s low-calorie and prepared in a special way - healthy eating. »

« My positive impressions of Israel: The food is amazing, everything tastes great! Strolling around and seeing the sights is our favorite activity! The weather is just perfect! Service and cleanliness are top-notch! But the prices are simply outrageous (more expensive than other cities I've been to), but maybe we just don't know, perhaps we are visiting the more upscale places. »

« In the old part of Tel Aviv, we stumbled upon a quaint little shop that was hard to leave. The unique items, including handcrafted goods, were truly special. And the prices were very budget-friendly! The craftsmanship is vibrant and full of character. 😊 »

« A little more about where to stay in Tel Aviv? A hotel is certainly a good option, but for a longer stay, especially with little ones, it feels quite inconvenient to me. So, for the first time in my life, I decided to rent an apartment. I took my time choosing (I can be a bit picky!), driving everyone around me and myself a bit crazy with all my requirements. But in the end, I didn't regret it! My two-bedroom apartment with an open-plan kitchen-living room is in the center, close to Ben Gurion Boulevard, but tucked away in a courtyard—it's peaceful and quiet, surrounded by greenery, making it easy to breathe. However, shops, bars, restaurants, and everything else you could wish for are just a short walk away. The transportation links are perfect too. I didn’t look for a place right by the beach since March isn’t quite the season yet, and we actually enjoy walking, so a 15-minute stroll to the beach is a pleasure. The apartment itself is very clean and fresh. There’s plenty of space. Everything is well-organized and practical. It has absolutely EVERYTHING you might need! Even some basic groceries (sugar, oil, spices). There’s a washing machine and a dryer. The price isn't cheap, but it’s more than reasonable. Overall, I highly recommend it! »

« Fast food cafe in the Ramat Gan Safari's internal zoo.
An unusual architectural design. But there are hardly any people at all, even though there’s food and ice cream! However, the prices are inflated even by Israeli standards. »
