Old Jaffa is the historic core of the city: a small medieval Arab port wrapped around a low hill at the southern end of the Tel Aviv beachfront. The Ottoman-era streets — narrow, stone-paved, often arched — run between artists' studios, galleries, restaurants, and the occasional house museum.
The standard walk takes in Kedumim Square, St Peter's Church, the small Ramses gate-museum, and the panoramic terrace overlooking the Tel Aviv coastline to the north. Add the flea market for an extra hour, particularly on a Friday morning. Reach Old Jaffa from central Tel Aviv on foot along the beach in about thirty minutes or by city bus.
