Tips for Tel Aviv
- Shabbat runs from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening: most buses and the light rail stop and many shops close, while beaches, Jaffa and some museums stay open.
- Sunday is a normal working day in Israel; museums keep their own closing days, so check each one before going.
- The Bauhaus Center runs guided walking tours of the White City, the UNESCO-listed district of 1930s modernist buildings.
- Walk or cycle the seafront promenade from the Tel Aviv Port south to Jaffa; Tel-O-Fun bike-share stations are all along the way.
- Visit Old Jaffa and the Jaffa flea market by day, and come back to the port around sunset for the view of the city's skyline.
