Tel Aviv bike tour
Your Tel Aviv bike tour takes you through the real Tel Aviv, and gives you the chance to see how people live in the Non Stop City. In only three hours you will see many of Tel Aviv’s top attractions, and being on a bike will give you a great viewpoint and layout of the city that would be hard to get in any other way.
If you love (or even like) bikes, enjoy learning new stuff, and want to see the best of Tel Aviv, this is the tour for you! Not only is Tel Aviv a perfect city for biking, it is the way that many locals prefer to get around. You'll be able to cover a lot of ground, riding all the way from Abraham Hostel, up Rothschild Boulevard, all the way to the Yarkon Park, and ride along the sparkling Mediterranean.
The tour begins with Rothschild Boulevard, where the guide will point out the famous “kiosks” - little booths which for years have been the central point of the Tel Aviv leisure spots. You will ride all the way to Habima Square, a large square and central point for Tel Aviv culture and the arts.
From there you will go to a more sombre and historically significant spot - Rabin Square, the location of former Prime Minister Yitzchak Rabin’s assassination in 1995. You will hear a little bit about Israel’s recent history, and the guide will point out the nearby memorial, should you wish to come back on your own time.
Your tour continues on the flat streets of Tel Aviv all the way north to the “Central Park” of Tel Aviv - Yarkon Park. A huge green space, the Yarkon Park is named after and divided by the Yarkon River, which flows all the way to the Mediterranean Sea.
You will ride alongside the picturesque park to the Mediterranean Sea, where you will stop at the Tel Aviv Port. There you will take a short break and you will have the chance to stretch your legs, buy something to drink, or maybe even enjoy a cold beer before beginning to head south.
The last part of this tour takes you alongside the beach and the renovated and beautiful Tel Aviv Promenade. Your guide will point out features of the Tel Aviv shore, among them Tel Aviv’s, dogs-only beach and separate-swimming religious beach.
Zipping past HaTachana, Tel Aviv’s Old Railway Station, you will be able to see the area which used to be Tel Aviv’s old train station complex, and has now been transformed into a trendy shopping and culinary spot. You will then ride through Neve Tzedek, the first neighbourhood to be built outside of Jaffa, and now a beautiful, charming, and prosperous quiet neighborhood.
On the way back to the hostel you'll finally pass Independence Hall, the understated and unpretentious site of the signing of the Israeli Declaration of Independence and current Independence museum.
