The Perfect Urban Escape

Tel Aviv is perhaps the world's most surprising urban destination. Facing the sea, it is much more modern than expected and more progressive than imagined. It's a sophisticated world-class city that never sleeps, and with its fine weather and urban assets, you really don't want to stay indoors.

With inventive restaurants and shops, beach bars, nightclubs, and the warm Mediterranean waters at your feet, there is an admirable energy in this city. Considering the political and cultural tensions in this part of the world, you would think the last thing Tel Avivians would do is party. But they do, and they sure know how to.

As a cultural and commercial capital, it is also multicultural and open-minded, with a young population creating a city bursting with creativity and style. Neighborhoods are gentrifying and neglected buildings are being preserved, particularly in the Old Jaffa district and Tel Aviv Port. Elsewhere, in between the World Heritage Bauhaus architecture and ultramodern skyscrapers is a city buzzing with a strong café scene and club culture.

Tel Aviv offers a unique experience while displaying a little of New York and Miami attitude. This is truly a city for escapism and enjoyment. Who'da thought?
