Tel Aviv-Yafo is a long Mediterranean city best understood as connected north-south districts rather than one compact centre. Historic Jaffa and the port sit at the southern end, Neve Tzedek and the market districts lead into the central city, and the beach continues north beside residential and cultural areas. Walking works within each cluster; transit connects the longer gaps.
