Sarona Market

Similar to New York’s Chelsea Market or Eataly, Sarona Market is Israel’s largest indoor culinary market. The complex, which opened in 2015 in a renovated 140-year-old former Templar colony, offers a modern urban experience that combines culture, entertainment and leisure. With 91 different tenants, there is a wide range of gourmet food and shops.

Stroll through the market to sample foods, or stop in one of the restored buildings that now house cafés and restaurants, as well as art galleries and boutique clothing stores. There are also parks and playgrounds throughout the complex, which are fun if you are traveling with kids. 

If you have an interest in wine, stop by the Tasting Room to sample a wide variety of local Israeli varietals. You can pour your own glass using the automated dispense system, or have the bartenders craft a cocktail to go with the menu of light bites.
