Israel: city games
A City Game turns a walk through a city in Israel into a self-guided game. You follow a route on your smartphone, solve puzzles at real landmarks and pick up the stories behind the streets as you go. City Games run in two cities in Israel: Tel Aviv-Yafo and Eilat.
You decide when to start. Stop for a coffee or a museum visit and continue whenever you like. A game usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours and covers 3 to 4 km on foot, which makes it an easy way to see the highlights of a city in Israel in a single afternoon.

Israel packs very different cities into a short drive. Tel Aviv-Yafo puts Bauhaus apartment blocks, a long beach promenade and the old port of Jaffa into one walk, and its markets stay busy until late. Eilat, at the southern tip on the Red Sea, is a resort town between desert mountains and coral reefs, where the promenade and the marina form the centre.
Shabbat quiets much of the country from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening, so check opening times before planning a break. Summer heat in Eilat is extreme, which makes the morning the sensible slot. Compare all City Games or browse all our destinations to pick your next city.
