Sarona

Top choice in Tel Aviv


The city's most refined market, swanky Sarona includes two main areas – an outdoor shopping mall and an indoor food market. The outdoor area has offices, restaurants, cafes, fashion stores, galleries and a visitor centre, all housed in restored, 19th-century German Templer houses. The indoor Sarona Market is an arcade featuring global street-food stands and boutique shops to buy fresh meat, fish, cheese and more.

Set in lush green surrounds, there's plenty of grass for a picnic and parks for older and younger children. The area gets very busy on the weekend when non–Tel Avivians come into town.
