Ramat Hahayal

Tel Aviv travel guide

Ramat hahayal, located at the north-eastern part of Tel Aviv, is a nightlife center with many bars, fine restaurants and a live performances club.

Ramat Hahayal is an industrial Hi-Tech area at the north-eastern part of Tel Aviv. In recent years, this area became a nightlife center, and many new bars and restaurants were opened there. It is where wealthy young people come to spend time, so the atmosphere is pretty elegant. Recently a new Hotel was opened by the Fattal Hotel chain – Leonardo Boutique Hotel Tel Aviv,

designed with a brilliant collision of influences from the modern to the Renaissance which suffuses the hotel with a mysterious, magical and bohemian atmosphere. The hotel offers a total of 167 rooms, including seven disabled rooms, 17 suites including one Presidential Suite, two Deluxe Suites and seven Junior Suites. A professional business lounge, a gym, three conference rooms and an unique bar are waiting on the 9th floor.

The Zappa Club (24 Raul Valenberg St., Tel: 03-6499550) in Ramat Hahayal hosts live performances every night of the week, mainly of local rock musicians. The atmosphere in most concerts is not too wild, and the performances take place while people are sitting around their table and chewing on snacks.

If Irish pubs are what you crave, check out Leo Bloom’s (24 Raul Valenberg St.), a traditional Irish pub in Ramat Hahayal. In Leo Bloom’s you will find friendly atmosphere, Irish dark beers and traditional snacks. Sometimes there are live performances of local artists there, and all major sports events are projected on large screens.

Moses (26 Habarzel St.) is an elegant grill bar that claims to serve the best hamburgers in the city. It serves other dishes too, but if you choose to sit there you must try the “Art-burger”, which is superb.

If you are looking for pasta, one of the best Italian restaurants in town is nearby. Pasta Mia (34 Habarzel St.) in Ramat Hahayal serves great fresh pasta and good wine in reasonable prices. If you prefer sweets, you should pay a visit to Max Brenner at 23 Habarzel St., a chocolate bar that serves also main dishes and alcohol. Even if you choose not to sit there, treat yourself with a small pack to take back to your hotel. It is definitely worth the trip.

Tel Aviv port - Day Time

Though not active as a port anymore, the old port of Tel Aviv is a very lively part of the city, day or night. It is where the first immigrants' ships landed, and though it was shut down in the 60's as an active sea port, it was awaken again in the 80's as a nightlife and water sports center. The Tel Aviv port today is a great place to hang out, eat or take a walk along the old pier. The center of the Tel Aviv port is a small area packed with great restaurants and few bars and nightclubs. It is definitely worth a visit during the day in spring, summer or one of the many sunny winter days. Some of the best seafood restaurants in Tel Aviv are located here, most of which are open during the day, and offer great view of the Mediterranean, relaxed atmosphere and business menus. Mul-Yam (Tel: 03-5469920) is a superb seafood restaurant that was chosen in 2003 as one of the top 140 restaurants in the world. Prices there match their flavor, so it is pretty expensive, yet it's recommended to visit Mul-Yam at least once, especially during the day when there's an opportunity to enjoy the sea view. Gilly's (Tel: 03-6057777) is another great option, and is well known for its excellent breakfasts, served every day till 5PM. Another option for some great seafood in front of the water in the Tel Aviv port is Boya (Tel: 03-5446166). It is a great restaurant, though again, not for low budget visitors. During the day the Tel Aviv port is a great place to visit and enjoy the beautiful view, the laid back atmosphere and the excellent seafood restaurants. Hotels that are located very close to the Port are: The Port Hotel Tel Aviv The Grand Beach Hotel The Tal Hotel

Jaffa has a long historical past of over 3000 years when for many years its ancient port was the gateway to the Holy Land. One of the streets adjacent to which the hotel is located is Yehuda Margoza Street, hence the name of the hotel. Ragusa was the name of the city now called Dubrovnik in Croatia and Yehuda Halevi was a Jewish rabbi who immigrated to Israel at the end of the 19th century and was the chief rabbi of Jaffa. Rabbi Yehuda Halevi known as Yehuda Margoza was also a gardener and the area on which the hotel building was built was once an orchard and a hint of this can be seen in the patio leading to the entrance to the hotel where citrus trees were planted. Rabbi Yehuda Margoza was accepted and appreciated by both the Jewish residents of Jaffa and the Arab residents of Jaffa.

Hayarkon Park Tel Aviv

Located at the north end of the city, Hayarkon Park is the largest public park in Tel Aviv and one of the most famous parks in Israel. It is a kind of a "central park" in the north of Tel Aviv, but even bigger. Alongside trees and greenery, the Yarkon River is streaming through this giant park, which is the major urban retreat inside of the city, along with the Tel Aviv beaches, off course. Hayarkon Park is a perfect chill out place for couples and is full with children and family activities. The eastern part of the park is much wider and has many all-family activity centers. The western part of the park is narrower, less family-oriented, and is a better choice for chill out seekers, especially on weekends, when the rest of the park tends to be packed. Hayarkon Park is jam-packed with family activities, therefore a great place to hang out with your children. Cycling is probably the best way to explore the park, which has a network of small trails and places to rent bicycles. It is flat in most parts, making cycling with children pretty easy. For the ones wishing to explore the park through the river, there are few rental places that offer paddle boats, kayaks, and small motor boats, both in the river and the artificial lake in the north-eastern part of the park. Other family activities include a miniature golf field at the north river bank and Tel Aviv's largest amusement park, the "Lunapark", with rollercoasters, pirate ships and other facilities just across the road. In the north bank of Hayarkon Park you will find the "Sportec", a large sports center with basketball and rollerblades courts and several soccer fields. It also has a wall climbing facility with all the necessary gear, guidance and security measures. When it comes to family activities and chilling out in the city, it is difficult to beat the Hayarkon Park.. Though many people visit the park every weekend, it is large enough and has many corners and activities for you to find exactly what you're looking for, whether it's cycling, paddling by boat, traveling or chilling out.
