Tel Aviv on Shabbat: what is open and what to do

Shabbat runs from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening, and Tel Aviv keeps a lively weekend rhythm. Knowing what slows down and what stays open makes it easy to plan.

Tel Aviv on Shabbat: what is open and what to do

Transport

Public buses and trains generally do not run during Shabbat. Taxis and ride-share apps do, and shared bikes are an easy way to get around.

Markets and shops

Markets such as the Carmel Market are closed on Saturday, and many shops close from Friday afternoon. Plan your market visit for Friday morning or another day.

Beaches, cafés and restaurants

The beaches fill up, and many cafés and restaurants in Tel Aviv stay open. Florentin and the area around the hotel are lively on Friday evening and Saturday.

Easy ideas

A late breakfast, a morning on the beach, a walk through Neve Tzedek and Jaffa, and sunset on the hotel rooftop.

Good to know

Opening hours vary, so check a place before you go. If you need help planning, message us and we will suggest options.
