How safe is Tel Aviv-Yafo?
The 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.

It really depends on the neighborhood since it's a big city, but I believe most of it is safe. I hang out there a lot and I rarely experienced anything bad,only maybe in the area of the central station, which is old and is known for its reputation with many addicts around
Posted: February 15, 2025Well as far as I found it haven’t experienced any, attack, assault or abuse . For a long time I’m visiting and staying there. It’s really calm , and peaceful and most people I met were super loving and nice! Really friendly!!
Posted: February 10, 2025Tel aviv is pretty safe *not south Tel aviv The only reason Tell aviv is not very safe right now it’s because terror (israel is in a war right now) Tel aviv have nightlife so it’s not very dangerous to walk around but keep your eyes open

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
