The resort town is the main economic vein of Israel. Jerusalem did not manage to become the capital, but Tel Aviv successfully copes with the responsibility entrusted to it.

Initially, this land served as the main refuge for Jews from Russia and Poland, and with the onset of World War II, German Jews began to flock here, for whom the municipality soon became home. This mixture of nations and traditions is reflected in architecture. Since the city is quite young, you will not see ancient stone statues, buildings that are a thousand years old and the like. But this place amazes with its sunny beaches several kilometers long, an incredible number of galleries and museums, unrivaled cuisine and vibrant nightlife.
