Top 5 Reasons to Visit Tel Aviv in the Winter
The first thing that springs to mind when you say “Tel Aviv” may be golden beaches and steamy rooftop bars teeming with beautiful people. Most people think summer is the best time to visit this non-stop metropolis. However, wintertime in the city that never stops has plenty of fabulous entertainment, lots of sun and far fewer crowds.
1.Great Deals
If you’re looking for business apartments for rent in Tel aviv, the most affordable options will be in the winter, from November to February. Plus, although you do have more chances of rain in the winter months, with an average of 300 sunny days a year you probably won’t get too wet either. You’ll also have the greatest choice of business apartments for rent during those months as the summer tourists have all gone by November.
2.Productivity
The winter months are also a great time to plan business trips because although prices are lower and the weather is still relatively sunny (especially compared to northern europe), you’re more likely to find people actually working.
Summertime affects everyone and even the start-ups tend to laze about a bit more during the peak heat. In the fall you always have the Big Holidays to contend with, when nothing happens and everything shuts down. The same is true in the spring for Passover.
But in the winter, the biggest celebration is the festival of light, Hanukkah. Since it’s not a religious holiday, most people continue working as usual. Plus, if you like doughnuts, you’ll have the opportunity to taste ‘sufganiot.’ These deep-fried dough balls may have like 1,000 calories each, but they are so worth it! Stuffed with chocolate, jam, pistachio and a huge variety of delicious flavors, this is one Israeli treat you won’t want to miss if you’re in Tel Aviv for work in December.
3.More Choices & Spontaneity
At TLV2GO, our busiest times of year are without a doubt the summer months. Booking in advance to get a spot in one of our amazing, centrally located apartments is highly recommended. But in the winter months, things are calmer. We do have many commercial clients who prefer the winter, but you can usually book closer to the date and still have a great variety of choices. This means you can be more spontaneous with your business trips. Since more of our business apartments for rent are available, you will also have more choice regarding location. If you have a special preference, we’re more likely to be able to accommodate you in the winter months at the last minute.
4.Fewer Crowds
Because fewer people choose to visit Tel Aviv in the winter, you’ll get to enjoy the city with more locals and less tourists. If you’re coming for business, this is often a big advantage. But fewer crowds isn’t just an advantage for work and focus, it also means you’ll have the long stretches of mediterranean beaches to yourself. You don’t need to book reservations at the top restaurants as far in advance, and you can enjoy some of the country’s best museums without throngs of people stepping on your toes.
5.Indoor Activities
Although Tel Aviv does have an average of 300 sunny days a year, the winter months do see the most rainfall and the coldest temperatures. Rather than lying on sandy beaches, you may be running along them and appreciating the cooler air. And if you’re not even into the beach, you’ll be highly entertained with some of the city’s best indoor entertainment.
Aside from beautiful theaters, opera houses, underground clubs and funky art galleries, the latest trend is escape rooms. Tel Aviv will not disappoint those looking for an evening of challenges and fun in the newest escape rooms that have popped up all over the city. This is especially good for companies looking for good ways to enjoy a night out with colleagues or helping new work teams bond. There’s nothing like getting to know people from the office in a competitive escape room as you try to work your way out together.
