Highlights
- Rothschild Boulevard - Israel’s Declaration of Independence was signed at Independence Hall on Rothschild Boulevard. Many of the historic buildings are built in the Bauhaus or International style, forming part of the White City of Tel Aviv, a UNESCO-designated World Heritage Site.
- Rothschild Blvd 16 - Independence Hall, aka the Dizengoff House, is the site of the signing of Israel’s Declaration of Independence.
- Park HaMesila - Along the route of the old Ottoman railway we will pass a section of this new urban park, which is a popular place to hang out, 24/7.
- Teder.fm - Come and see hipsters in their natural habitat in the coolest place in Tel Aviv.
- Aluf Batslut Square - A grey, dirty parking turned into a typical Florentin style park with benches, beach chairs and some grass on the side. Great place to chill with beer, wine and tasty sandwiches or cakes from the local bar in the middle.
- Levinski Street - The Levinsky Market (Shuk) is a foodies paradise with its range of flavors, spices and fusion cuisines during the day. In the evening it is still lively with bars and restaurants.
- Florentine - Street art has made the Florentin neighborhood one of Tel Aviv’s most popular tourist areas. Bohemian Florentin has numerous cafes, bars and graffiti tours. This area is both an industrial zone and garment district and the main hipster enclave in Tel Aviv.
- The American Colony Quarter Tel Aviv - It is actually the German-American Colony, because the Christian Templars where her first, building the first neighborhood of what is now Tel Aviv.
- HaTachana - The first train station in the Middle East (1892), now hosts a bit of everything - history, art galleries, boutiques stores, restaurants and activities for kids and families.
- Suzanne Dellal Centre - Three impressive late-19th century school buildings in the heart of Neve Tzedek, now home to 3 dance schools.
- Neve Tzedek - The nicest area to walk through with low-rise buildings along narrow streets. It is the first Jewish neighborhood of Tel Aviv. Its location between the posh Rothschild Boulevard and the beach is the driving force of the gentrification taking place here.

Amazing Tel Aviv tour, surprisingly interesting and excellent guide - It’s not my first time in Tel Aviv, but with this tour I felt it was: our guide, Menno, showed us so many new places and shared a lot about the origins of some peculiar neighbourhoods. Tel Aviv has a lot to offer and Menno surely knows to transmit the richness of Tel Aviv history to his audience.
The tour was extremely interesting. It all started with a warm welcome. I immediately felt at ease. I enjoyed walking through the different areas of Tel Aviv. The scenery was beautiful and some parts even colonial with beautiful architecture, which I didn’t expect in that particular area.
Menno, our guide, is very flexible and open for inquiries. A highly motivated guide, with a lot of knowledge and a warm personality.
It all adds up to a great experience. I had such a good time.
Many thanks again and I recommend this tour and Menno, our guide, to everyone!
