Museum of the Jewish Diaspora (Bet Hatefutsoth), Tel Aviv

Advantages: a modern and old, Eastern and Western city
Disadvantages: To all the politicians, it is necessary to rehabilitate!

....."""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" If you like shops of any kind, coffees,discotheques... those streets are made for you! All located in the same area, they offer hours of shopping and relaxation. With regard to the shopping centres, I prefer the Azrieli Canyon, further in the east (bus 63). The museum of the Diaspora """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" It presents the life of the Jews in exile for 2500 years; it is an informative museum, few valuable articles, but clear exposures, superb models of the European, American, Asian synagogues... I liked it very much. Compared to Jerusalem, the splendid town of Israel, Tel-Aviv undoubtedly does not deserve to be called a "beautiful" city, but it deserves that one stops there, that one is delayed there and that one seeks to unearth the hidden pearls of it... Thank you for your reading...... Read review

...that this is anything other than a truly remarkable achievement. However, if you take the context away from the displays, you could easily leave feeling that this had been a disappointment. This is not a child friendly, or Disney style wow factor museum. It is a testament to guts, hard work, belief and perseverance in the face of immense adversity and hardship. This alone is worth experiencing, as no understanding of the Modern Israel can be complete without grasping this. You should note that this museu, is not in central Tel Aviv, but in a nice suburb to the north called Ramat Aviv. Besides driving a car there, the only way to access the museum is via the regular city buses, with which the museum, is amply supplied. Any bus leaving the city on the main north-bound highway (so going to Caesarea, Haifa or Netanya) will go past it. However, once you... Read review

Disadvantages: Traffic, late night noise from discos

...I have stayed in the Sheraton Moriah on a number of visits to Tel-Aviv. Subsidised Hotel rates are available through the Israeli export industry. The hotel is located directly opposite the marina and at the north end of the Tel-Aviv beach. The hotel is in walking distance of a number of bars along the sea-front to the south. It is also 10-15 minutes walking distance of the Dizengoff Centre, Allenby Street and other central locations. The Sheraton Moriah has business facilities located at the top of the building, with panoramic views over the city of Tel-Aviv and out over the Mediterranean Sea. Business facilities includes a free salad/breakfast bar, wireless internet access, free wine and beer. The rooms are clean and tidy and more than adequate. The hotel is aging slightly but I find it a pleasant stay.... Read review
