    Nachalat Binyamin arts and crafts fair

    Start with coffee and pastries at the crafts fair in Nachalat Binyamin. The stalls open early, and it is a pleasant way to begin the morning before the heat sets in.

  2. 16:08

    Pagoda house

    Walk to the Pagoda house. This 1924 residence mixes Muslim arches, Greek columns, and a pagoda roof. Arriving before the late afternoon light allows you to explore the architecture in clear daylight.

  3. 17:38

    Alma beach

    Head to Alma beach. It is the most beautiful beach in Tel Aviv, offering a nice view of Old Jaffa. The lack of a breakwater makes the waves bigger, so stay on the sand to watch the sunset toward the west.

  4. 18:23

    Salon Berlin

    End the evening at Salon Berlin. This laid-back bar and clothing store is a favorite spot for friends to chill after a day out. The trendy atmosphere is perfect for unwinding as the night begins.

Local tip

Check the route from the Pagoda to Alma beach, as there is no direct walking path described in the guide. The walk from the Pagoda to the market is short, but the beach is further away.
