It’s got Israel’s nightlife up the wazoo, so if you’re seeking techno and Tinder, you’re in the right city. So what is there to do in Tel Aviv? Take your pick. Visiting Tel Aviv, by virtue of itself, is a thing to do in Israel. Photo: you’re backpacking Israel, you’re going to stay in Tel Aviv: it’s a given. A long walk through the city is going to take you from one extreme to the next. Top tip: If the touristic and over-crowded vibe of the Old City isn’t cutting it, there are plenty of other cool neighbourhoods in Jerusalem to check out all around. Either way, Jerusalem is an unmissable must-see in Israel.
Conversely, maybe it’ll be your first foray into dark and alternative tourism. So, maybe it’ll be a fabulous and historical destination in Israel for you. If I can be hippy-dippy-bo-bippy for a moment, I genuinely believe that you can’t have so much blood shed in one place without leaving something energetic behind. You’ll either be astounded by the (frankly, gorgeous) architecture and wealth of varying cultures residing in one city, or you’ll take one step inside the Old City and want to spew as some insidious feeling surges in your gut. Consider this your jumping-off point for writing your own uniquely-you story in Israel.īecause today you are you and that is truer than true. I can assure you there’ll be no other list on the interwebs like it. These are my best things to do in Israel. A homage to those wonderful little nuances that I found and a tribute (and statement) to those complexities. I’ll cover some touristy attractions and destinations in Israel, of course, but what you’re more going to find here is more a homage to my two months in Israel. The nuances and complexities that tie all of it together. The part that I enjoyed was everything that fell in between. Because the famous Israel ancient sites and typical itinerary hits aren’t the part of Israel that I enjoyed. That’s why I’m really excited to write this list. People already know the score: Jerusalem, parties in Tel Aviv, Bethlehem, Nazareth, floating in the Dead Sea, Jericho… You get it. Today, we’re talking about the top things to do in Israel, and I’m really excited to! Partly, that’s because there is a lot of dope stuff in Israel.
