The Jaffa Watchtower - on the northern corner of Yefet and Raziel Streets is a Tel Aviv icon. You can climb from within.

- Clock Square. I always like to start my visit in Old Jaffa at the Clock Square (in Hebrew: “Kikar HaSha’on,” “כיכר השעון”). The clocktower (1) is one of the symbols of Old Jaffa.
- Mahmoudiya Mosque. From the square, proceed south and turn right (west) onto Mifrats Shlomo Promenade (טיילת מפרץ שלמה). You’re supposed to see a mosque to your right (2).
- The Church of St. Peter. Continue up the promenade towards the Church of St. Peter. On the way, you can see a beautiful view to your right. The whole Tel Avivian shoreline is spread before you.
- The Zodiac Bridge. More or less opposite the church is a path leading up towards Ha’Pisga Park (“The Peak Park”). A few steps up the route, you’ll see a bridge to your right (4).

Old Jaffa is a romantic place, particularly at night when buildings and the old port are illuminated and reflect in the waters of the Mediterranean. Its restaurants are a real destination in the evening when the artists close up shop and Tel Aviv residents and tourists drop by, at least those who appreciate good food and a convivial atmosphere.
