The apartment is located in Montefiore neighbourhood, on Ha-Masger side.

There are 2 ways to easily reach the place from the Ben-Gurion Airport.

1. A taxi straight to Ha-Masger 68, Tel Aviv (This should cost 100-150ILS)
2. A train from the airport to Ha-Shalom train station.

If you are traveling light then you can also take a walk of 10 minutes (just walk straight to south on Menachem begin street and that’s it)

If with heavy luggage then grab a 2 minutes cab drive and ask the driver to let you off Ha-Masger 61 (That’s across the road and will prevent you from just going around in circles with the taxi 😉

* I recommend downloading Moovit app to your smartphone. It will help you use public transport like a pro 🙂

 

RENTING BIKES & SCOOTERS

It is very common to rent bikes and scooters in Tel Aviv and you will find them waiting for you in every corner.

To rent and ride them, just download their designated app on your smartphone, insert your details and start riding. Its super fun!

• Make sure you ride the bike lanes and the right sides of the roads only. Riding on the side walks might end up with you getting a 250ILS fine so be ware.
• The law requires you to wear a helmet but its not being seriously enforced.

Free Parking

Free parking is very easy to find on weekdays after 18:00 and on weekends.

Most of the neighbouring streets have businesses which close at 18:00 on weekdays and remain closed on the weekends. This makes life very comfortable in finding free parking on weekdays after 18:00 and on weekends.

Paid Parking

You can also find paid parking nearby.

1. on Israel Bak street (few meters ahead of the address) Becomes free from 18:00 till the next morning.
2. Shonzino street 23 building underground. Hourly or Daily rates. There’s a lift from this lot to inside the flat building. Remember to change lifts as the only lift that is working to come up is the Northern one. Change the the southern lift on Building entrance Floor 0.

The code is 6547*

LOCAL HUMMUS PLACE

Just outside of the building (turn left and left) you will find the best yet the simplest and cheapest Hummus and Israeli food workers restaurant. I absolutely recommend this place! And in fact, I eat there very often myself. (Tell Johnny the owner’s son that you are Orly’s guests :)) 

 

SARONA MARKET

Sarona market is one minute walk from the flat and i highly recommend you to visit there!

Huge amounts of restaurants, shops, bars and restaurants makes this place a small heaven in my eyes 🙂

My recommendations for Sarona wine & dine:

INSIDE THE MARKET

 

MEAT LOVERS: Triger Butcher Shop

Inside Sarona Market, there’s a butcher (Booth #the first one you will see on your right hand side while walking inside). He has huge pieces of meat in his display.

Choose your piece (I always go for the rib eye steak, on or of the bone) and he makes it for you right on the spot with some grilled veggies and rice. YUMM!

 

FISH LOVERS: Fishop

There’s only one fish place in Sarona market and it is amazing! Go there for lunch time (Between 12:00-17:00) and grab the lunch deal as its worth every penny, or should i say Shekel 🙂

 

THAI FOOD: Tyger Lily

The Tiger Lily restaurant is great!

• There’s also an asian grocery store next to it in case you feel like cooking.

 

CHEESE LOVERS: Basher Fromagerie

For those of you that loves cheese… Oh my… you’re going to have some serious fun 🙂 walk through the market and indulge yourself with the wide selection.

 

WINE LOVERS

There’s a small wine shop called “Wine in the Shuk”  just few shop away on the right hand side from the butcher iv’e mentioned above. You can go there and buy yourself some wine by the glass while strolling around the market and tasting cheese or to accompany it with your meal that is currently being prepared at the butcher’s place. Highly recommended!

 

OUTSIDE THE MARKET

CLARO RESTAURANT – www.clarotlv.com

High end restaurant with great fresh food!

They have a monthly theme that changes all the time, last time i’ve visited they had “The Corn Month”. The’ve made many dishes and even drinks that included corn! A must try experience in my opinion!

• For those of you that likes smoked taste alcoholic cocktails try the “Don Hu’an” cocktail.

 

LANDWER’S CAFE

A nice place with nice breakfast, salads and pasta.

MAX BRENNER CHOCOLATE

The true heaven for people that loves chocolate 🙂

ANITA’S ICE CREAM

By far the best ice cream in town! Must try!

 

TLV FASHION MALL

Love fashion? This is the best mall for you! This place has all the brands you want to know, some of the world brands you will find there have opened the first and only shop in the TLV Fashion Mall.

Inside this mall you will also find:

Ha-hashmonaim country club (Gym and Swimming pools).

Super Pharm for medicine, beauty care and toiletries. 

Mcdonalds Burgers

 

AZRIELI MALL

Azrieli mall is about 7-10 minutes walk away and offers a large mall with everything and anything you wish to buy. It also has a large supermarket on its ground floor where you can do your grocery shopping if you’re staying for longer than few days.

 

THE BEACH

My personally favourite beaches are Hilton beach and Metzizim beach for their young and lively vibe, great electronic music and fair food and drinks prices. Unfortunately these beaches are not the closest to our address 🙂

The closest beaches to us are Bugrashov and Frishman beaches. These are a bit calmer and older in their vibe, Very touristic and prepare to pay more for your food and drinks in their restaurants. 

The Gay Beach – This beach is located between Hilton and Metzizim. The party is always on in this beach 🙂   

 

 Going to the beach:   

Getting there:       In minutes	Walking	Scooter/bike	driving/bus
Bugrashov	30	13/15	17
Frishman	30	13/15	17
Hilton	45	16/18	27
The Gay Beach	45	16/18	27
Metzizim	55	19/22	30
