North Tel Aviv starts around the intersections of Ben Gurion Street and Dizengoff Street, and stretches all the way northward, to Ramat Aviv. In-between you’ll find the entire old north, some of the best beaches in the city, the ever-developing port, Tel Aviv University, and one of Tel Aviv’s highlights – Park Ha’Yarkon, the city’s public park.
Generally speaking, Tel Aviv’s north is cleaner and less urban. The streets are wider, there are more boulevards and trees, and far less towers or skyscrapers. Some hardcore Tel Avivians would even claim that it’s a residential suburb attached to the city, but don’t believe them, there’s plenty of drinking, eating and other activities here, it’s simply nicer and cleaner and has no party scene.
Whether you go for a pleasant stroll in Park Ha’Yarkon or take a boat ride on the Yarkon River, order a cappuccino in one of Bazel’s top cafés or hummus in a family-run restaurant, there is no shortage of things to do. Even if it’s just walking up and down Ben Gurion Boulevard for some people-and Bauhaus-watching. Though Tel Avivians remain ambivalent about it, don’t be shy about going down to the port, where you can take your kids and find countless things to do, or  go to a yoga class, or to a hip club at night.
The northern part of the city is also where Tel Aviv University is located, the largest university in Israel and once an academic powerhouse. Now it can’t crack the world’s top 100, but the architecture is still definitely interesting.
Historically, Tel Aviv’s northern end was once what is now referred to as the Old North, before the city expanded to Ramat Aviv, and other neighborhoods, which are mostly residential areas.
