Take a journey through this young and urban city’s history from the ancient port of Jaffa to the Bauhaus buildings on swanky Rothchild boulevard.

Tour Old Jaffa, one of the ancient port cities in Israel and the Mediterranean basin. Tel Aviv has grown and spread out of Jaffa to become the city it is today.  Jaffa has in recent years been regenerated with the old narrow streets and courtyards becoming a highly popular part of Tel Aviv’s urban tapestry.

Neve Tzedek, the first Jewish neighborhood to be built outside of Jaffa and currently one of the most beautiful and desired locations in Tel Aviv. Good place to try some Israeli Gelato!

Continue to Rothchild boulevard one of Tel Aviv’s central boulevards where you’ll feel the modern vibe of the city while learning about the establishment of the State of Israel and taking in the early modernist Bauhaus buildings that line the street. Experience the Tel Aviv coffee culture on this tree-lined, picturesque street that is very popular with locals.

On Rothchild you can start the Independence Trail. It follows 10 stops of Tel Aviv’s heritage sites about the history of this great city along the way. The trail ends across the street at Independence Hall, where on May 14, 1948, David Ben-Gurion read aloud the Declaration of Independence as Israel was declared an independent Jewish state.

Tel Aviv has been named – the “White City”, because of the Unique Bauhaus architecture. This is also why UNESCO has declared Tel Aviv a world cultural heritage site.
