Description
Take part in a captivating journey through Tel Aviv, affectionately known as the "white city," a UNESCO-declared world heritage site. This tour will lead us through the iconic landmarks that earned it the distinction of being the pioneering architecturally planned modern Hebrew city. Beginning from Tel Aviv's inaugural neighbourhood and traversing Rothschild Blvd, the railroad park, and Neve Tzedek—the first Jewish settlement beyond Yafo (Jaffa)—we'll encounter an array of remarkable sights.
Among the highlights, we'll visit the Mayor's House, a site of historical significance as it played a pivotal role in the declaration of Israel's independence. Next, we'll marvel at the majestic Great Synagogue and explore the fascinating blend of International (Bauhaus) architecture and dreamhouse-style structures that grace the city's skyline.
To add a touch of romance to our journey, we'll meander through the enchanting alleys of Neve Tzedek, where the charm of the past melds harmoniously with the vibrancy of the present. Each step of this tour will uncover the essence and splendor of Tel Aviv, capturing the spirit of a city that stands proudly as a testament to its rich heritage and architectural prowess.
