Tel Aviv-Jaffa lies on the Mediterranean coast and is the second largest city in Israel. Nicknamed the White City for its architecture, Tel Aviv is also sometimes referred to as "the bubble” in reference to its vibrant atmosphere, thanks to the presence of a strong artistic community, its beaches and the plethora of clubs and bars that give it a distinctly modern feel. A stay in Tel Aviv is the opportunity to visit the Haaretz Museum or the Museum of History, and to stroll through the Carmel Market, making one’s way to the seafront promenade in the historic district of Jaffa.
