Get some sun
Kikar Rabin isn’t the only spot in the neighborhood to bask in the sunshine. Gan Ha’ir, or The City Park, is a great green patch to relax, listen to the live music that is sometimes being performed and see some tails wag at the dog park.
Ben Gurion Boulevard is lined with small café kiosks and benches. Take a seat, breathe in the Tel Aviv air and enjoy.
