ISRAELI PHILHARMONIC
Israel’s leading symphony orchestra has earned international plaudits, recognition and prestige in over 70 years of world-class performances.

Regularly touring prestigious international venues, the orchestra also hosts some of the most celebrated soloists and conductors from around the world, and does much to support enjoyment of the arts among young people and the public. Its performances garner rave reviews, and are among the best of the many cultural experiences Tel Aviv has to offer.
MISH-MISH
This cute little bar is an elegant contrast to the raucous partying of much of Tel Aviv’s night scene.
In a hip location on bar-heavy Lilienblum Street – with an elegant, inviting interior of dark wood, leather and soft lighting – this is a great spot to stop off for a few pre-club drinks. Alternatively, settle down for a mellow evening of cold martinis and soft jazz, and while the night away in style.
TEL AVIV PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
One of the leading cultural institutions in the city, the Performing Arts Center is home to the acclaimed Israeli Opera and the award-winning Cameri Theatre.

The Cameri Theatre is the largest theater in Israel and supports worthy projects such as The Peace Foundation, which brings groups of young Israelis and Palestinians under one roof to enjoy performances together. It stages classics by world renowned playwrights such as Brecht and Shakespeare, as well as new, cutting edge works from leading local talent. A series of plays inspired by Hebrew literature is currently in the pipeline as is an innovative new interpretation of Romeo and Juliet.
The Tel Aviv Performing Arts Center is a wonderful place to spend an evening and see art that pushes boundaries, explores personal and political issues or simply makes you laugh. This is where you see Tel Aviv at its vibrant and creative best.
