Whether you are looking for a luxurious cocktail bar, an authentic neighborhood bar, a European beer garden or a trendy bar restaurant - Tel Aviv will not disappoint.

Since in recent years traveling by car within the city has become exhausting, we decided to go out and check the most convenient and cheapest way to get to places of entertainment in Tel Aviv using public transportation. 

The Savidor Center train station was chosen as a starting point for examining the various travel options in Tel Aviv. This station is considered central and accessible both to residents of the city and visitors from outside. For the purpose of examining the public transport options, we used the Moovit app which allows planning a trip from place to place in Israel with the help of public transport lines, and quick and convenient payment in the app. To calculate the cost of the taxi ride, we used the Yango app.  Here's what we found:
