70 years after its establishment, Tel Aviv’s Port became the city’s premier entertainment center, with dance clubs, cafes, and restaurants at the waters edge and great shops featuring the work of Israeli designers. The port attracts to its wide wooden promenade thousands of people seeking to combine food, shopping and entertainment with romantic red sunsets, salty sea breezes and white sails on the horizon. If you get here after noontime on a Saturday, forget it - you’ll quickly discover that you’re not the only one in pursuit of this magical combination.
A bridge across the Yarkon River connects the port to the historic old Reading power station, whose cavernous interior now serves as an exiting venue for post-modem design and art exhibitions. Near the bridge is a foot and bicycle path called the Yarkon Promenade that heads east along the banks of the river into the Yarkon National Park ? 875 acres of greenery, water, playing fields and leisure activities for the whole family.
