The best of Israel,
city by city

A guide to the best of Israel, city by city. We publish curated lists — the best restaurants in Tel Aviv, the best beaches in the country, the best Pesach programs — so you can find the good stuff without wading through a dozen tabs.

Three groups, mostly: tourists planning a trip, new immigrants finding their footing, and locals who want to know what's worth their time in a city they already live in.

Continuously. Each list shows the month it was last updated, and we revisit them as places open, close and change hands. The year in every title tells you which edition you're reading.

Because these lists are refreshed each year, and the year in the title tells you how current the edition is. If a guide is out of date, you'll spot it at a glance.

From the operator and hotel listings themselves — location, kashrut supervision, board basis, price band and what's actually included in the package. Programs change year to year, so always confirm the details directly before booking.

A limited number of businesses can secure a place in each of next year's guides, written up by us in the same format as every other entry. See feature your business for how it works. We don't take free listing submissions.

We research and curate every guide ourselves — who a place is actually for, what it costs and when to go. Commercial arrangements, where they exist, are set out on the feature your business page and labelled on the page they appear.
