Old Jaffa

Explore the old city

Jaffa, also known as Yafo, sits at the southern end of the Tel Aviv-Yafo coastline. Its old port and historic stone streets invite a slower walk, with galleries, places of worship and views across the Mediterranean.

Around the clock tower

Continue toward the clock tower and the nearby flea market, where shops, cafés and restaurants fill the surrounding streets. The old city has steps and uneven paving, so allow extra time and choose your route accordingly.
