8 days in Tel Aviv Itinerary

Called the "White City" thanks to the color of its World Heritage-listed architectural landmarks, Tel Aviv serves as Israel's modern and cosmopolitan second city.

Take a break from the city and head to Caesarea National Park and Tayelet. Get some cultural insight at Yad Vashem - The World Holocaust Remembrance Center and Old City of Jerusalem. Change things up with these side-trips from Tel Aviv: Jerusalem (Israel Museum, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, & more), Safari Park (in Ramat Gan) and Beit She'an National Park (in Beit She'an). Spend the 4th (Sat) exploring nature at Bet Guvrin-Maresha National Park. There's lots more to do: wander the streets of Jaffa Old City, enjoy the sand and surf at Frishman Beach, tour the pleasant surroundings at Bograshov Beach, and take a leisurely stroll along Yarkon River and Park Hayarkon.
