10 Up-and-coming Destinations Around the World For LGBTQIA+ Travelers

"When it comes to the Mediterranean, Mykonos has long been a crowd-pleaser of the queer jet-set and circuit party crowds. But with recent, increased direct flights from the U.S. and a boom in high-style hotels like The Setai, The Norman, and The Lighthouse, LGBTQIA+ travelers are discovering a welcomed alternative in Tel Aviv. The city’s unrivaled beach culture with dynamic, Bauhaus-heavy architecture at its backdrop is reason enough to visit, but LGBTQIA+ travelers find themselves attracted to Tel Aviv most for its open, inclusive, and bohemian spirit. Prior to the COVID-19 crisis, Israel was already seeing record-breaking tourism numbers, attracting Ricky Martin, Andy Cohen, and Neil Patrick Harris as its recent, notable gay guests of honor at Tel Aviv Pride. While that celebration undoubtedly lives up to the hype in this extroverted city, travelers should also consider touching down for Purim in March. A feast for the eyes, the Jewish holiday is marked with lively parties spilling out onto the streets and lots of queer attendees dressed in lavish costumes that rival even the best Halloween celebrations in New York and West Hollywood." - Travel + Leisure Editors

Office hours do not fit actual schedule- Online it says that the office hours are between 8:30-5:30pm, came at one pm and discovered that office was closed for all passport needs including form drop-offs. Tried calling twice and both times was answered by a very rude Switchboard operator that wasn’t helpful at all instead chose to be rude and cruel. Terrible service from the switchboard operators, while the security guard was nice and tried to help in whatever way he could the actual embassy workers were incredibly cold and rude. Disappointed.

The woman who Answers the telephone at the American Embassy. Tel Aviv branch does not speak one single word of English, which is ridiculous. I have not been in Israel very long, and an elderly and barely speak any Hebrew I have friends with th same problem who need to speak in English

Horrible service. Workers are heartless. Could care less if you die in the street. Shame on you all.

Good security. Better not to bring bags, cigarettes and lighter. If you need to bring then it's cool. There's a deposit locker just across the street. It cost 15 shekels. Good behavior of the staff. Easy smooth experience.

Upon entering the embassy you can not have anything with you other then the following: pertaining documents, payment, house/car keys. NO PHONES/PURSES are permitted! Everything else needs to be stored at lockers at nearby stores that have storage lockers (20NIS). However, be aware that on FRIDAYS, during winter months, the locker storage CLOSES EARLY, around 2:00pm. If you do come on a Friday afternoon make sure you come with someone who can hold your stuff.

If you're a citizen, you won't wait long to get in, but once you're there make sure you have a good book because it could take a while. Don't forget that your not allowed to bring in food, drink, electronics or even pills... You can bring in a small bag (clutch size) with your wallet and keys and any relevant documents. If you have a car, leave your stuff there. If not, there are a million coffee shops all around that will rent you a cubbyhole for about 15 shekel where you can leave your phone and other prohibited objects while you're inside. If you bring an empty water bottle the is a water cooler inside which you can fill it up with. If you have kids, rest assured that they actually have some really nice toys in play area of the waiting room which helps tremendously in passing the time. If you have really small children, sometimes the guards will let you sneak in a snack for them, but don't take it as a given and bring everyone on full stomachs! The staff are incredibly kind and helpful too

Better not bring bags, if you do, there's storage across the street for 15 shekels (can't bring any bag, phone and headphones inside). Inside was fine, orderly and clear. Staff was nice.
