Is Tel Aviv-Yafo Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Group travel experience

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.

Solo travel experience

I traveled alone and felt very safe. The market in Carmel was wonderful, I ate delicious falafel there and it is cheaper than in restaurants. Sarona Market was a bit more expensive, but also nice. I stayed in Abraham Hostel and I have very nice memories from there, as they even organized a communal dinner for Shabbat. Additionally, during Shabbat, public transport does not operate and it is really hard to move around the city.

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.

Group travel experience

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
