Tel Aviv (full name Tel Aviv-Yafo) is Israel's second-largest city on the Mediterranean coast and its economic and cultural hub — vibrant, modern, and open, often called the city that never sleeps. The seaside is especially pleasant from April-June and September-November, while the summer beach season is hot. Long golden beaches and the seaside promenade form the city's backdrop, ideal for surfing and sunbathing; its cultural emblem is the UNESCO-listed White City — the world's most concentrated and largest ensemble of 1930s Bauhaus architecture. At the city's southern end lies the ancient port of Jaffa with thousands of years of history, where stone alleys, artists' studios, and flea markets are quaint and captivating. On the Sabbath some businesses close, but beaches remain open.
