It&#8217;s modern, westernised and full of action. Tel Aviv has a huge gay scene, \u00a0a good underground party scene, and alternative art and music scenes.<br \/>\nBut Tel Aviv has also retained some of its older, more historic side. I don&#8217;t mean just the old Bauhaus and eclectic buildings (though these are also pretty cool), but all kinds of weird old shops, markets and random sights and sounds you&#8217;re not likely to see in your average major Western city.<\/p>\n<p>All this is stuffed into what is essentially a relatively small town. This means you can get just about anywhere worthwhile in under 30 minutes walk or around 10-15 minutes of cycling. It&#8217;s easy to get around by foot or bike, as the city is predominantly flat.<\/p>\n<p>Though it can occasionally be a tad frustrating, Tel Aviv definitely has its own unique vibe and style.<\/p>\n<p>Underground Tel Aviv comes in many forms. No other city in Israel draws as many cool young people (or young people who believe they are cool \ud83d\ude42 ) and the result is a good number of alternative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diytelavivguide.com\/blog\/underground-tel-aviv\/tel-aviv-clubs\">Tel Aviv night clubs<\/a> and a whole load of alternative <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diytelavivguide.com\/blog\/underground-tel-aviv\/tel-aviv-nightlife-guide\/tel-aviv-live-music-venues\">music venues<\/a>, cafes and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diytelavivguide.com\/blog\/underground-tel-aviv\/tel-aviv-nightlife-guide\/tel-aviv-bars\">bars<\/a> in Tel Aviv&#8217;s typical eclectic, casual style.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re expecting a religious experience like something you&#8217;d find in Jerusalem or Nazareth, think again. Although there are religious people in Tel Aviv, like anywhere else in Israel, you&#8217;re far more likely to have a religious experience on a dance floor or at a gourmet <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diytelavivguide.com\/blog\/underground-tel-aviv\/tel-aviv-restaurant-guide\">restaurant<\/a> in Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s very much a secular, cosmopolitan city and \u00a0there is always something to do and somewhere to go, 24\/7 (with the exception of the occasional holiday). Chilled licensing laws means that you can get a drink 24 hours a day, though locals are more into their cafe culture than heavy drinking on the whole.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diytelavivguide.com\/blog\/underground-tel-aviv\/tel-aviv-street-food-guide\">street food in Tel Aviv<\/a> is, frankly, pretty amazing. You could actually live on it. Cheaply. However, you&#8217;ll probably want to try some restaurants as well (less cheaply). There are also plenty of options for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diytelavivguide.com\/blog\/tel-aviv-food-and-drink\/vegetarian-and-vegan-tel-aviv\">vegetarian and vegan food in Tel Aviv<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tel Aviv also has a very big bodywork and complimentary therapy aspect. There are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diytelavivguide.com\/blog\/tel-aviv-stuff\/yoga-in-tel-aviv\">yoga studios<\/a> in Tel Aviv (practically on every other street) teaching both yoga and Pilates.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diytelavivguide.com\/blog\/underground-tel-aviv\/tel-aviv-dance\">Dance studios<\/a>, martial arts and complementary therapy clinics are also remarkably common.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to, you can also find quite an active left wing \/ anarchist scene here that includes both alternative community centres and regular anti occupation demos.<\/p>\n<p>For over 170 pages of pure Tel Aviv information including underground cafes, bars, activities, venues and other hangouts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.diytelavivguide.com\/blog\/download\">buy<\/a>\u00a0the full guide. It&#8217;s 100% advertising free and is how this site makes money while retaining its independence. You won&#8217;t find any sponsored listings or advertorials inside, just honest reviews of the best places in town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s a little preview of what underground Tel Aviv is like and how you can find alternative things to see and do while you&#8217;re in town.
