Feeling torn
between an exciting city break or a laidback holiday on sundrenched beaches?
Why not just fly to Tel Aviv to enjoy it all? Tel Aviv is a relatively young
city, but it combines a laidback Mediterranean backdrop, with the exciting
cosmopolitan lifestyle usually found in cities such as New York or London. The
White City is famous for its range of eclectic building styles, from stark
Bauhaus-inspired buildings, to Modernist architecture and gleaming skyscrapers.

Stay

Cinema Hotel – This Bauhaus-style
building used to be a movie theatre in its former life, and traces of its
cinematic past can still be seen around the hotel. The walls are filled with
black and white photographs of actors and scenes from films, and there are
beautiful old projectors displayed throughout the place. The hotel also
thoughtfully provides guests with complimentary bicycles to explore the city
with. Room rates start from £130.

See

Jaffa – The ancient city of Jaffa has
been now been absorbed into Tel Aviv’s sprawl, but it is still worth paying a
visit to this legendary port. These days, the old city is as cosmopolitan as
the rest of Tel Aviv, and boasts a collection of mosques and churches. A stroll
through its atmospheric alleyways will help provide a glimpse into its past. Visit
the Andromeda Rock, where Andromeda was said to be chained as a sacrifice, or
make a wish on the Wishing Bridge.

Eat

The 11^th Floor Restaurant –
The 11^th Floor, situated on the 11^th floor of the Azrieli
Centre, offers diners a wonderful panoramic view over Tel Aviv. The menu is
almost as sweeping, with offerings that showcase the diversity of cuisines
available in this city. Treat yourself to fresh sushi, hearty ribs and steaks,
and succulent kebabs. The dessert menu is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth –
Belgian waffles, Irish cream savarin flavoured with halva, Pavlovas with rich vanilla
ice cream.
