Nightlife

Haifa does not have as much nightlife as Tel Aviv, or even Jerusalem, but there are some nighttime activities. Check in the International Herald Tribune, which includes the English edition of Ha'aretz, Israel's preeminent newspaper, or the Jerusalem Post, which despite its name lists events, cultural offerings, and movies throughout Israel. The Friday-morning editions of both Ha'aretz and the Jerusalem Post include the indispensable weekly calendar of happenings, some of which are in Haifa.

The student associations at the Technion and at the University of Haifa have entertainment of one kind or another going on almost every night. Check with the universities for details.

Club & Music Scene -- Looking for a club, a place to hang out, listen to music, have a drink, and dance? The Haifa Tourism Development Association, 84 Ben-Gurion Blvd., in the German Colony, has compiled a list of recommendable spots; stop by for information.

Bar Scenes -- Many of Haifa's restaurants have bars with entertainment. Both the upper and lower terminals of the Aerial Cable Car, too, are enjoyable places to stop on an evening out, with restaurants, bars, and dancing; you can ride the cable car most of the year until midnight.
