iwannagothere.com This is travel, not tourism

I guess there are a lot of cities you consider to visit instead of Tel-Aviv. Prejudices are strong and the brand image of Israel is not the most positive in the world for travellers. However, if you overcome preconceptions and dare to travel to this amazing country you will be enlightened 24 hours per day.

Bauhaus Center: Tel Aviv is the epicenter of Bauhaus in the world. This statement is not over-the-top. You can find more than 4000 Bauhaus-Internation buildings; more than 1000 of them has been perfectly preserved and restored. This not-that-big store is the perfect place to know more about this movement and also to get that souvenir that will make your artsy friends fall in love with the city.

Center Hotel: Bauhaus is still alive in this small and no-frills hotel. It´s in front of the overexposed Cinema Hotel since they both belong to the same company. You will probably miss the Center cause you will be busy tasting the pop-corns that Cinema offer to visitants and travelleres.

Benedict: Have you ever tried to have breakfast at 5 pm?. Or at 3 am? It´s usually hard to find a place to taste a delicious breakfast whenever you like. Breakfast are supposed to be in the morning. Benedict restaurant doesn´t agree with that because it´s dedicated to breakfast during all day.

Abulafia Bakery: This bakery is more than a bakery. It works as a symbol of the desirable encounter between Israel and Arabian people. It has been in Jaffa for almost 200 hundred years and has many stories to tell. Hummus is great.

Shablul Jazz Club. Tel Aviv is a city that almost never sleep. Nightlife is quite vibrant in this corner of the Mediterranean. If you travel there you wil probably go out around the Port or Neve Tzedek. However, I am sure you don´t plan to go to listen to jazz. You should do it, though. This club, located in a hangar, is the best spot in Tel Aviv to attend a good session.
