Tel Aviv is a great beach city with lots of great restaurants, museums and clubs! The public transportation is a little bit unreliable, but it definitely works,and is easy to navigate. People are friendly and helpful. I highly recommend visiting!

Overall tel Aviv is a really nice and safe city, lots of people walking around everywhere and al the time. The south parts of the city can be sometimes unpleasant, specially after dark, but where there’s a lot of people, bars and restaurants it won’t be a problem.

The city hall made safety one if its highest priorities and invests a lot of money on it. The streets are equipped with street lights and there is zero tolerance to harassment in the city’s public areas such as bars, restaurants and parks. There is high awareness to the subject and a lot is being done to prevent it.

Most areas are completely safe. Some specific areas in south Tel Aviv and Jaffa do get a little more sketchy at night. Overall, I wouldn't worry about getting mugged or attacked. Worst cases I ran into were catcalling / homeless people approaching to ask stuff.

Tel Aviv is very safe. First there are always people outside so you most of the time won’t find yourself alone in the streets. People are kind and will always help you. There’s sometimes homeless like every big city but most of the time there are ok and not causing any trouble.

I've lived my whole life in Tel aviv and since the age of 12, I've been out and about at all times of the day and night. I have always felt very safe and so have my parents. It is common for kids, teens, woman to walk around alone at all time including past dark.

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

I felt safe, because I visited my friend who had already lives there for several years. But I’m not sure the feeling would be the same if you visit it by yourself. I was there 5 days and my program was prepared before. I visited Jerusalem in the morning, the sea in afternoon and techno at night. The trip had really tight schedule. It was nice, because we had a car, without it using the local transport it would be impossible. You always can find where to go, because of long history land, full of stories and new impacts. I spent not much money, because I was visiting a friend, that’s why I didn’t need it. But prices are extremely high.
