A three to four-day trip is usually enough for a comprehensive introduction to the city. This allows sufficient time to visit key attractions such as the Carmel Market, the ancient port city of Jaffa, the Bauhaus architecture in the White City, and to enjoy the beautiful beaches. It also offers an opportunity to sample the vibrant nightlife and diverse food scene, with enough flexibility for spontaneous exploration. If you're planning to take day trips to nearby places like Jerusalem or the Dead Sea, you might want to consider extending your stay.
