Museum der Moderne

This is an unappealing museum. The building is a soulless concrete block that unfortunately smells damp and unpleasant. There is a view from the balcony that's good but that's not the museum.
If you have hiked to the top don't make the mistake of taking the lift down. There are no signs telling you the lift goes down all the way to river level nor are there any signs telling you about paying at the bottom to get out. We took the lift looking for a toilet as the one upstairs was 'closed'. When we got to the bottom we realised our mistake and hoped to get back to where we started. Unfortunately that required an additional ticket as well as the downstairs 'exit' ticket. How ridiculously bureaucratic.

Well curated museum of interesting exhibitions. We were there a few weeks ago and saw the Boris Lurie & Wolf Vostell exhibition. We joined an english language tour which lasted only 30 minutes. It was fascinating and could have easily been longer. Unfortunately the exhibition is now no longer available to see. However, gallery spaces are light and breezy and there's some lovely views over the Danube and there are other exhibitions that may well be worth seeing.

This is a lovely museum in a small street in a very nice part of Tel Aviv. The artist tells the story of Tel Aviv from his unique perspective. We really enjoyed our visit here. It wasn't crowded and the rooms were nice and cool. There is a good gift shop and a very nice café around the corner.
Trattoria San Carlo

Good food done well. Minestrone was delicious. Steak perfect. Fish fresh and well prepared. Apple fritters for dessert were a perfect ending to our meal.
There is nothing pretentious about this restaurant. Service professional and unobtrusive. Prices reasonable.
