Tel Aviv is a city that never stops moving. It’s filled with color, sound, and energy, from the beaches of the Mediterranean to the bustling markets and modern art galleries. If you want to experience the top attractions in Tel Aviv in one day, there’s no easier way than with the Tel Aviv One Day Public Transportation Card. For just 19 NIS, you can use buses and the light train as much as you like throughout the city. The card also gives you discounts on tours, scooters, bicycles, and entry to cultural sites.
Morning: Discover Tel Aviv’s Architectural and Cultural Attractions
Start your day by visiting one of the city’s most famous architectural attractions — the Bauhaus Center Tel Aviv on Dizengoff Street. Tel Aviv is known worldwide as the “White City” thanks to its incredible collection of Bauhaus-style buildings. At the center, you can view an exhibition about the city’s architectural history and pick up a map for a self-guided walking tour. Entry is free with your transportation card, so it’s a great place to begin.
A short bus ride away is Liebling Haus, another Bauhaus landmark that celebrates urban life, architecture, and design. From the rooftop terrace, you can enjoy a view of the city and the sea — one of the best photo spots among all attractions in Tel Aviv.
When you’re ready for a coffee break, take the bus toward Levinsky Market, a local favorite known for its small bakeries, spice stalls, and coffee shops. Grab a pastry and a strong espresso and enjoy the local atmosphere as the city starts to buzz.
Midday: Food, Art, and Market Life
No list of attractions in Tel Aviv would be complete without Carmel Market (Shuk HaCarmel). This open-air market is a must-see for anyone visiting the city. Use your unlimited rides to get there easily, and once you arrive, dive into the sights, smells, and sounds of Tel Aviv’s most famous food hub. You can even use your 10% discount to join a Culinary Tour of the Carmel Market, tasting authentic dishes while learning about the neighborhood’s history.
After lunch, wander over to Nachalat Binyamin, a pedestrian street known for its craft fair, live music, and street performances. On Tuesdays and Fridays, the area becomes a colorful art market with handmade goods, jewelry, and paintings. It’s one of the most charming outdoor attractions in Tel Aviv, and a perfect place to relax and people-watch.
If you love art, take advantage of your free entry to the Michaelson Art Gallery, a contemporary space that features both Israeli and international artists. It’s a peaceful retreat just a few minutes away from the busy market streets.
Afternoon: Visit Old Jaffa — One of the Oldest Attractions in Tel Aviv
In the afternoon, head to Old Jaffa, one of the most historic and beautiful parts of the city. Thanks to your transportation card, getting there is easy — just hop on a bus from Allenby Street or Rothschild Boulevard and get off near the Jaffa Clock Tower. The narrow alleys, ancient stone buildings, and views of the Mediterranean make Jaffa one of the most unforgettable attractions in Tel Aviv.
The Ajami Neighborhood and Flea Market
Take a walk through the Ajami neighborhood, a fascinating area where Jewish, Arab, and Christian communities live side by side. Your card gives you a discount on the Ajami Neighborhood Tour, which explores the area’s history and culture. From there, stroll to the Jaffa Flea Market (Shuk Hapishpeshim) — a lively mix of antique shops, local designers, and cafés. It’s the perfect place for souvenirs or a relaxed lunch.
The Promenade and the Sea
As the day continues, walk along the seaside promenade. You can rent a scooter with your card’s discount — five rides for only 55 NIS — and travel from Jaffa to the Tel Aviv Port. The view of the sea, the sound of the waves, and the golden light at sunset make this one of the most scenic attractions in Tel Aviv.
Evening: Sunset, Food, and Nightlife
When the sun begins to set, join locals at Charles Clore Park or one of the beachfront cafés to watch the city turn gold. This is also the perfect time to enjoy Tel Aviv’s nightlife, which is famous around the world. Your transportation card gives you 10% off several popular experiences, including the Tel Aviv Bar Tour, the Asian Food Tour, and the Culinary Tour in the Carmel Market.
If you’d rather relax, hop on a bus and explore neighborhoods like Florentin or Rothschild Boulevard, where you’ll find bars, live music, and plenty of late-night food spots. The beauty of Tel Aviv is that the city never really sleeps — and with your One Day Pass, getting around is simple and stress-free.
