You will always have a good time in the biggest, boldest cities of the world be it New York, Berlin, London, Tel Aviv. There will always be an attraction like a museum or park open to the public. But when I travel, I like to think like a local. Do the things that locals might do because they are no longer going to the museums or the obvious choices.
The next few months in Tel Aviv are full of new activities for the leisure-minded, impact-oriented traveller. You want to think like a local, and do things that can connect you to the local mindset and culture. Consider these activities suggested by America Israel Tours if you are on a trip to Israel this fall, the perfect time to travel to Israel (the weather is milder and the Jewish holidays make everyone more spirited!).
