The study shows that Tel Aviv is a relatively safe city for tourists. The weather is great and there are plenty of daylight hours to enjoy the beach, attractions and everything that Tel Aviv has to offer. Tel Aviv offers fine dining experiences and is also considered as the vegan capital of the world.
On the downside, the cost of accommodation in Tel Aviv is amongst the highest in the world and, in this study, falls just behind Chicago, New York and San Francisco – which is the most expensive. According to the data, accommodation in Tel Aviv averages at 900 NIS/per night or £200, $258 or €235. Accommodation in Istanbul is 50 per cent cheaper but is considerably less safe. Cape Town and Rio de Janeiro are considered the least safe beach destinations. Leave your valuables at home!
