    The municipality of Tel Aviv has finished the building of the promenade (Hatayelet),  all the way from Jaffa in the south and up to Hatzok Beach in the north.

    Tel Aviv's promenade, The Tayelet, is usually packed with people enjoying beach fun or evening street preformances in the summer, and marveling at the rough and bewitching sea in the winter. Bikers, joggers, tourists, children and the elderly community in Tel Aviv, all enjoy this paved boardwalk with its sea view and well situated benches.  
    If biking is your thing, you will quickly find that taking the promenade route saves you plenty of time and unwanted car fumes. In fact, the promenade offers one of the most pleasant options for making your way from one side of the city to the other, out of a motorized vehicle, shouldn't take more than an hour or two. 
    The sea view, which stretches up north or down south depending on your direction offering the beautiful view of Old Jaffa or the urban building skyline, gives an amazing perspective to the city and its diverse beauty.

    Here are a couple of a places where you can rent bicycles on a daily or weekly basis:

      Where can one rent a bicycle in Tel Aviv?
      How much is rental and parking fees? Is it ok to chain it anywhere and return to it if you want to get off the bike and venture into some flea markets for a while?

      The Tayelet, also known as the Herbert Samuel Promenade (named after the first British governor-general under the Mandate) offers a great intro to Tel Aviv. Walking its length from the beach hotels to Old Jaffa gives you a great first look at the city. You can divert inland a bit and catch Dizengoff Square or Ha-Carmel Market as well. But the tayelet (Hebrew for "promenade";) mainly offers great people watching. You'll see the beautiful people with their unbelievable fit bodies and elderly Russian ladies strolling arm in arm. You'll see families out for a swim, and Arab families doing the same, often with the mothers fully clothed. All along, you'll hear the sound of the surf and smell the salt air. When you get down to Jaffa, the view back of Tel Aviv is stunning.

      If you're lucky, you'll hear the relentless smack of paddles as people play paddleball on the beach. It seems to be the Israeli national sport! On a busy beach day, it feels as if you'll be "bonged&...
