We spent around 3 hours in the morning and evening walking around the old town. There is a relaxed atmosphere with lovely cafes in the day and bustling restaurants in the evenings. There are many winding streets with street art (some graffiti), interesting shops, markets, gelato, parks and more. I would recommend a morning and evening visit.

We spent time on two different days exploring Jaffa and really enjoyed this part of Tel Aviv. The views of the sea are lovely and the street art there is very interesting as are the shops, cafes and gallerys. There is a nice relaxed atmosphere and a considerable amount of history to explore in this area.

You can walk here from the centre of Tel Aviv along the sea front. The city is on a hill with the usual small alleys typical of a sea port. Much of it has been modernised with small shops and restaurants as well as a port. A great place for a Saturday stroll.

The port of Jaffa - one of the most central in Israel in most of its historical periods, a port of Jerusalem. From the findings of the surveys in the vicinity of Jaffa, a picture is obtained that this is not an ancient harbor built with piers, wharves, etc. (such as the ports of Acre, Caesarea, Atlit), but an anchorage (a natural formation improved by man), a natural anchorage (temporary shelter for vessels near a natural rock shoal). The findings of the survey from the deeper area point to the possibility that there may have been a kind of "anchorage in the open sea": similar to the Ashkelon port or the Gaza port today, the ships anchored far from the shore and loaded or unloaded the goods using small vessels.

…which is a MUST when visiting the city. This neighbourhood is just wonderful to wander round, taking in the extraordinary range of shops and restaurants, both original and gentrified. I would say that spending time here is reason enough to visit Tel Aviv at all and I would place it highly compared to any area, anywhere in the world!!

We visited Jaffa just before Christmas ( it was a big celebration with lots of people, music, entertainment). We enjoyed walking around, eating good food, taking picture. It was warm, very pleasant to stroll through Jaffa even at night.

Very easy to go there walking along the beach ( sidewalk). Old town, nice architecture, artist gallery and museum, interesting flea market and nice garden. My family best place ( we went there three times during our vacation....)

We had a wonderful time in Jaffa old city which is bustling with activity and variety. Enjoyed buying desserts from a gelato place, easy access to a variety of resturants abd cafes who played awesome music. Loved the fact that streets were adorned with orange and lemon trees. Lots of friendly people, fekt safe. Full of character. Woukd love to go back

Jaffa Old City is where Tel Aviv began. It was a major port, from where Jaffa oranges, known as "jaffas" were shipped. Jaffa old city is full of hustle and bustle. Tel Aviv began where Old Jaffa began, it's still unique of itself.

This historic city was the mother of Tel Aviv. Whereas its offspring, Tel Aviv, is a bustling contemporary city, Old Jaffa is full of traditional markets and winding lanes, there's always something interesting to experience. The Old Port of Jaffa was famous for exporting oranges around the world, whence came the name "jaffas." The Old Clock Tower is a landmark of Old Jaffa, it also has a useful information center.
