Understand

When people talk about "South" Tel Aviv, they are often referring to the vibrant and evolving neighborhoods south of Yehuda Halevi and Harakevet streets. Although Jaffa is technically a separate part, it also falls within the area below these streets. South Tel Aviv has undergone a remarkable transformation in recent years. For decades, large parts of this region were neglected, leading to an industrial urban wasteland. However, since the early 90s, a wave of gentrification has revitalized many areas in South Tel Aviv. Artists, students, and even middle-class and upper-class families have been drawn to this vibrant part of the city, seeking its unique charm and creative energy. Another significant factor shaping the character of South Tel Aviv is the influx of migrant workers from Africa, China, and Southeast Asia. Their presence has brought a remarkable diversity to the area, enriching its cultural fabric and making it a vibrant melting pot of different backgrounds and experiences. Whether you are seeking artistic inspiration, culinary delights, or a taste of cultural fusion, South Tel Aviv is the place to be.
