Tel Aviv is pretty safe to walk around during the day and night. Of course, there are areas I wouldn't recommend walking around at night. But buses and trains are safe at all hours including at night.
Posted: August 30, 2025I live there so I know how to manage and I feel safe, but it’s important to stay aware while walking in the dark. A lot of homeless people in the streets, but they are harmless and you don’t need to be scared. The city never sleeps, so there is no creepy feeling in the streets.

Most Tel Aviv is very safe for women, you can walk alone at night with no problem. I work nightshifts, so before i had a car i used to walk back home. Everything is lit up, and the crime level is very low. This being said about central and northern parts of the city. South Tel Aviv, especially Tahana Merkazit is not safe in the last years due to illegal immigrants, so its better to avoid this area during night hours.
Posted: July 11, 2025The center of tel aviv, as well as the northern parts of it, are very safe for women and in general. The more southern parts (south of florentin) can feel a little unsafe at night, with the exception of the touristic parts of jaffa.
Posted: May 3, 2025I found it very safe to go around by myself, even at night. The central areas, as far as I’ve seen, is very well illuminated and there are always people out. But of course I don’t recommend that :) we women know it’s never 100% safe for us anywhere.

I was lucky visiting israel before current events (no political comment here.) Probably one of the nicest places i've been. Not like a typical middle eastern city. Some travellers actually say its middle eastern-california lol. I stayed at jungle jaffa hostel and i wont stay anywhere else if i go again. It was one of the main things that made tel aviv such an experience. Old jaffa is a must see and beach is a real gem. They are at the same place already. Everywhere is walking distance. I didnt use uber even once Because airport is accessible too. Only fault about Tel aviv was it wasnt budget friendly... I ate my meals at hostel (which was included during summer) but 50cl beer was around 10 shekel (2.5€), a cocktail at a cheap bar 20 shekel, breakfast with omelette 50 shekel. Other than that Tel aviv is a living city, techno parties last whole weekend, beach is not crowded but alive, population is young and traveler friendly
