Tel Aviv is the cultural capital of Israel, renowned for its partying, culinary and art scenes. The Time Out Israel team picks out the highlights of one of the most vibrant cities in the Middle East

With an influx of 2.5 million international visitors every year, Tel Aviv is one of the most visited cities in the Middle East. A lively 24-hour carousel of activity, the only uniform aspect of Israel’s second city – though many locals consider it the country’s first – is its continuous ability to surprise.
With inbound Jewish influences from the East Coast of the United States to Ashkenazi Eastern Europe and the Mizrachi Yemen – and in recent decades, overwhelmingly, Russia – Tel Aviv is a cacophonous mixtape of backgrounds.
