It's the city that never sleeps, or rather, prefers to sleep during the day to save energy for the moonlit madness.

Just stroll down Rothschild Boulevard and you'll be spoilt for choice. But remember, things kick off late here. Don't be surprised if you find yourself welcoming the sunrise on a beach after a night of revelry. Tel Aviv's nightlife, my friends, is a beautifully wild beast. Don't just dip your toes in, dive right in!
