Old Port

Originally opened in 1936 to give newly established Tel Aviv sea-trafficking independence of Jaffa, the port fairly soon went into decline with the construction of a better, deeper harbour at Ashdod. In the early 2000s the municipality went in and overhauled the area, creating a wide boardwalk and transforming the derelict warehouses into commercial space.

It's now the most fashionable piece of real estate in the city, with a 1km-long strip of restaurants, bars and nightclubs. It's at its busiest after dark and on weekends when hordes of young clubbers descend on the strip of discotheques.
