    WalkingWalking is one of the best ways to get around Tel Aviv, the city being conveniently small and flat.

    People in Tel Aviv usually walk from one place to another. The city is quite small and almost completely flat and the weather is usually perfect for walking, except, of course, on the rainy days between December and March, or on the hot summer days between July and September.  It is a little difficult to keep your spirits high while walking in 80% humidity in the summer, or in buckets of rain in the winter.  Walking doesn't go so well with "being drenched" or "in a pool of sweat".  Nevertheless, mostly the weather is good and even in the months mentioned there are perfect days for walking.

    For specific walking routes you can check out the tours we introduce on site, or either enjoy the more specified information (and in some cases free guidance) given by the Municipality of Tel Aviv.
     
    Finding your way around is easy as can be.  The streets are rather easy to find, and the
    locals are friendly and speak good English, so you shouldn't have any problem to find someone who can help you out if you're lost. 
     
    Walking is the best way to really get to know a city, it can give you a true sense of the city, a feel of its real character, beyond the attractions and restaurants.  But to save up on your energy, only walk around areas you find charming or interesting, and use taxis, buses or Sheruts to get to less central areas.

      Each summer I stay for a couple of weeks at my mother in law's appartment in Ramat Gan. About two times a week I go for a walk to the beach and back via Park Yarkon. People think I'm crazy, I prefer the hot time of the day to walk. However, I now know the city better than my wife who was born there. Lovely place to be, especially the totally revived old city area in the south.

      I a grandma and I love Tel Aviv. One of my favorite games is "getting lost in Tel Aviv" with my grand children. We jump through any imaginable "shortcut" like in between buildings, small streets and parking lots, and we "get lost"and my grandchildren have to devise ways to get back to known paths... We often discover incredible gems of old backyards and little playing grounds between the buildings, or very old trees and empty houses... it's fun!

      Walking in Tel Aviv is great! In theory, the city is designed for the pedestrian.

      Now things are even better. Thanks to The SPNI (Society for Protection of Nature in Israel) - Tel Aviv chapter there is a "walking metro" or a metro-regel.
      Go to the following link and download the map which indicates various "metro lines" (or routes) you can use. It is only in Hebrew at present but just aks your friends, or a stranger in the street and they will help you with what it says!
