The Wall Street Journal has placed Tel Aviv in the #3 spot in its list of 10 Most Intriguing Travel Destinations for 2019. “In the historic port of Jaffa, now a vibrant neighborhood of Tel Aviv, you’ll find a mix of groovy new cafes and galleries amid the old-school Arab shops. A new level of luxury lodging has moved in too; the Setai Tel Aviv occupies a renovated fortress on the sea (from about $500 a night, thesetaihotel.com) and, a few blocks away, the Drisco is an elegant makeover of a hotel first built in 1866 (from about $360 a night, thedrisco.com).
