What’s On! April’s Events in Tel Aviv
Spring is finally here. The days are longer, the weather is sweet, and with Pessach just around the corner, there’s something just so beautiful about Tel Aviv this time of year.
Although, Tel Aviv is awesome all year round, personally, I absolutely LOVE Tel Aviv April through June. After all, our beloved city is blooming with things to do and places to see and April’s events marks the beginning of some of Tel Aviv’s annual highlight events.
Like I did in my last post, I’ll cover Tel Aviv’s highlighted events for April, as well as free city tours so you guys can choose which ones to attend – they’re pretty awesome, so I really advise you take the time to enjoy at least one of them. And since I won’t be covering all of April’s events, I suggest you stay tuned with the Tel Aviv Municipality and the Visit Tel Aviv websites to see what else is happening around the White City this month.
Enjoy!
