Tel Aviv is world's third hottest city

By JPOST.COM STAFF 

Travel guide company Lonely Planet released their list of Top 10 Cities for 2011 last Sunday. It decided to place what they called a "modern Sin City" - Tel Aviv - at number three.

New York City came in first place and Tangier was second. Tel Aviv was described as hedonistic, yet tolerant, cultured and truly diverse. They wrote "There are more bars than synagogues, God is a DJ and everyone's body is a temple."

The company wrote that Tel Aviv was the most international city in Israel and that it is home to a large gay community, "a kind of San Francisco in the Middle East."

Lonely Planet has also looked at the cultural side of the city. They believe the city's university and museums with make it "the greenhouse for Israel's growing art, film and music scenes." It recommends walking down the lovely tree-lined streets towards the Mediterranean Sea.

The other list put out by Lonely Planet last Sunday was their Top 10 Countries for 2011. While Israel did not make the list, Syria did. Syria is at number nine. The guide said that Syria's economy and no longer being part of the 'Axis of Evil' are two of the reasons for putting Syria in this year's list.
