Overall great city to live in, great beaches, lots of caffes and stores. Theres an amzing big park, and lots of smaller once, the public transport is not super reliable but still very acessible, train station and buses. Lots of outside gyms and a couple of new shoping centers. Small veriaty of hotels tho and probably no hostels at all. Very close to another city Ashdod, Ashdod is bigger and has lots more activities, shoping centers and hotels.

Small city with nice beaches, pubs, restaurants and shopping. Mostly families. Not dangerous at all. I feel safe walking at night People are very kind. I would stay away from atikot neighborhood but everywhere else is great
