Tel Aviv continues to transform itself into a popular Mediterranean beach destination that draws in increasingly diverse crowds. From a price standpoint it’s very similar to most of southern Europe, so it’s not quite the bargain beach city that some people hope for.

Hotels in Tel Aviv range from modest budget places and hostels in the city center to luxurious beach resorts. During the busy summer months, or during any major Jewish holiday, prices can seem quite high. During the winter months you can find bargains, but the weather isn’t well suited to sunbathing and such.
Hotels and hostels in Tel Aviv are fairly expensive all year round, with high season generally running from June through August, but also any of the major Jewish holidays. Low season is the balance of the November through February period.
