🌴 Urban Wilderness: The Tropical Garden, Tel Aviv

Hidden inside Yarkon Park, the Tropical Garden is a lush, quiet corner that feels worlds away from Tel Aviv’s city buzz. Located near the Ramat Gan side of the park (entrance by Ganei Yehoshua), it’s best reached by bike or a 10-minute walk from the Tel Aviv University train station. Entry is free, and parking is available nearby.

Wander along shaded paths lined with palm trees, bamboo, and exotic plants, then wait quietly near dusk—you might spot golden jackals emerging from the undergrowth, along with waterfowl, turtles, and butterflies. It’s a rare glimpse of urban wildlife thriving in the heart of the city.

💡 Pro Tip: Visit around sunset for the best chance to see jackals and catch golden light over the ponds. Bring binoculars, mosquito repellent, and a quiet heart—this is nature’s show, not ours.
