Photos from NEVE ZEDEK / Tel Aviv

B"H

Here are some further photos from Tel Aviv's famous romantic - looking neighbourhood NEVE ZEDEK. One cannot visit the city without seeing this cozy neighbourhood. You don't have to go into the rather expensive restaurants but just enjoy a nice walk. By the way, you will also see quite a few old Synagogues, as Neve Zedek used to be one of the oldest neighbourhoods. Only later, chassidic Rabbis moved to Bnei Brak. 

My advice: Don't come in a tour group and if you do, choose a guide who lives in Tel Aviv !!! Don't take a guide who, himself, is a tourist in our city, as he has no clue about all the stories going on around the subject. 

The best is to pick up a free - of - charge Neve Zedek map from the tourist office and go on your own little tour. This way, you discover much more and may have time to meet some of the residents. This is much more interesting and adventurous than an expensive tour guide dragging you all along within in hour or so.

Photos from NEVE ZEDEK in Tel Aviv

B"H 

Pictures from NEVE ZEDEK. You can find the neighbourhood in the middle of Tel Aviv (close to the Shalom Tower / Ahad Ha'Am Street). Lots of tourists and locals love walking around through the romantic alleyways. What you can also find is plenty of small old Synagogues from 70, 80 years ago.  Don't forget: When the first Chassidim and different Rebbes came to Israel before or after the war, they first settled in Tel Aviv before, later on, they moved to Bnei Brak.

The cozy NEVE ZEDEK in the middle of Tel Aviv

B"H

Plenty of photos and information regarding the oldest part of Tel Aviv, Neve Zedek and surroundings, will follow ! 

The Neve Zedek neighbourhood is located inbetween office towers and the sea; right off Allenby Street and behind the Shalom Tower (Ahad Ha'Am Street). Tourists have discovered the village - like peaceful neighbourhood and keep on streaming in. Restaurants and cafes have opened up and, due to iits enormous popularity, prices went up. Neve Zedek is worth a visit and very beautiful with its old renovated houses. However, if you are a tourist, watch your purse, at it is not cheap having a snack there.



Hard to believe: On one side of the street you find huge office towers and on the other side is the entrance into Neve Zedek. Two completely different worlds.
