Tel Aviv
With metropolitan avenues overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, this Israeli city’s coastline is a blazing strip of ivory sand whose invigorating energy spreads, like its barnstorming nightlife, from the beach through the vibrant inland sprawl. From the White City’s elliptical forms to Florentin and Jaffa’s districts, including thriving wineries, arts and restaurants, Tel Aviv’s modern foundations, suffused with European influence, encourage cosmopolitan embrace and insomniac exuberance that’s dripping with effortless cool.
