City guide · Israel
Tel Aviv-Yafo is a long Mediterranean city best understood as connected north-south districts rather than one compact centre. Historic Jaffa and the port sit at the southern end, Neve Tzedek and the market districts lead into the central city, and the beach continues north beside residential and cultural areas. Walking works within each cluster; transit connects the longer gaps.

Old Jaffa, Jaffa Port and the flea-market streets form a southern historic cluster. Neve Tzedek and the old railway area lie immediately north, followed by Carmel Market, Rothschild Boulevard and the White City. The main museum and performing-arts institutions sit farther east, while the seafront forms a parallel route. Group visits by these corridors to avoid repeated cross-city journeys.
