Nature and scenery in Tel Aviv: Green in the big city
Tel Aviv - Green in the center of Bohemia
Tel Aviv is a big, lively and very colorful city. A city that doesn't stop for a moment, one that has something to do and see. This fast pace can easily be replaced by a slightly different pace, thanks to the many green lungs that Tel Aviv has to offer. Whether you are coming to the city for just one day or whether you are planning a vacation there for several days. It is recommended that you combine a stop at the lovely parks there, to enjoy some peace and quiet. Also take some hunting with you on the way, and in some places you can even enjoy a fun and tasty picnic.
