'''South Tel Aviv''' is in Tel Aviv.
When referring to "South" Tel Aviv, people commonly mean the part of Tel Aviv which is south to Salame Street - excluding Jaffa which is considered a separate part, although it is also "below" Salame Street. South Tel Aviv has been neglected for decades, rendering large parts of it an industrial urban wasteland. However, since the early 90s, and following a massive housing price increase in central Tel Aviv, an excelerated gentrification process has changed the face of many areas in south Tel Aviv - as many artists, students, and eventually middle-class (and in some cases upper-class) families moved in. Another factor greatly affecting South Tel Aviv's character is the influx of migrant workers from Africa, China and Southeast Asia, whose presence diversified the area significantly.

South Tel Aviv is not the quintessential tourist spot, but it is a fascinating urban landscape with notable nightlife interests and a chance to encounter Tel Aviv's bustling migrant community.
Levinsky Market. evinski Street, between Hertzl St. and Ha'aliya Street. Levinsky Market is an extremely colorful outside market boasting a variety of spice shops and ethnic restaurants.
Central Bus Station. evinski Street. Tel Aviv's Central Bus Station - known as the "new" Central Bus Station, may serve as a case-study for city planners around the world. It is the world's biggest bus terminal, which was planned also to be a huge shopping mall. However, poor urban planning and location resulted in one of Israel's biggest urban disasters - its incomprehensible vastness, multiple levels and intertwining corridors make it a model for what an urban jungle would feel like. The planners' hope for an upscale shopping center resulted in hundreds of abandoned spaces. However, over the years, the Central Bus Station has emerged as a cultural center for Tel Aviv's migrant communities, changing the nature of the place to an ethnic indoors market with hundreds of stores offering everything from phone cards to the latest fake Versace sunglasses.
