Just go...it is so cool and old. Check your guide books to see if the Free Wednesday morning tour is running from the info center near the clock tower...take the free tour. Then go back up to the area with all the restaurants pick one and have lunch, but not before using your discount (as part of the free tour)... More

Jaffo was thoroughly stimulating to visit, to see through modern revitalization what this city looked like.

Jaffa is a must see in tel aviv for its history, lovely views (especially at sunset) and lively marketplace. A fun place to shop and eat.

The renovated old city of Jaffa is built on a rock that penetrates the sea. The city is built with small alleys that accommodate a charming collection of small art shops, and a colorful set of fish and sea food restaurants. It is mostly recommended for a night out.

I loved the renovation. The new shops are extraordinary. I love the Art at Nova and the collection from Africa at Tribal Arts. Lovely to talk to the shop owners and artists.
