• Habimah Square - Rothschild Boulevard, Hen Boulevard, Dizengoff Street, and Ben-Zion Boulevard converge at this square, home to Israel’s national theatre, one of the first Hebrew language theatres.
• Rothschild Boulevard - Tel Aviv’s first boulevard and Israel’s most famous street, named after a member of one of the wealthiest families in history. Many historic buildings here are built in the Bauhaus or International style, forming part of Tel Aviv’s White City. We’ll take a few short detours from Rothschild but return to it until we reach Ahuzat Bayit, Tel Aviv’s first neighborhood.
• Nachmani St 23 - At King Albert Square, you can admire the majestic Norman Hotel, one of the world’s best boutique hotels, and the eclectic-style Pagoda House.
• Beit Levin - Also known as The Castle and the KGB House, you’ll discover why.
• Yehuda ha-Levi Street - Here, we show you the location of one of the stations of the new Tel Aviv light rail.
• Tel Aviv Great Synagogue - It’s impressive, but without a heads-up, you might pass it by unnoticed. Planned by Tel Aviv’s founders but built many years after the neighborhood was established.
• Founders Monument and Fountain - This monument on Rothschild Boulevard commemorates the Jewish families who contributed funds to build a new modern neighborhood, which would become known as Tel Aviv.
• Meir Dizengoff Statue - A statue of Meir Dizengoff, Tel Aviv’s first mayor, on his horse in front of his house. It was in this house that David Ben Gurion declared a new Jewish state in 1948 after a 2000-year absence.
• Migdal Shalom Tower - The first skyscraper in the Middle East, built on the site of the first Hebrew high school, HaGymnasia.
• Herzl St 2 - The house of Akiva Weiss, the initiator of Tel Aviv’s construction, and the statue of Alfred Dreyfus, a Jewish Captain in the French Army. “L’Affaire,” as it’s known in French, symbolizes modern injustice and is a notable example of a complex miscarriage of justice and antisemitism. It greatly impacted Theodore Herzl, who is largely responsible for the existence of Tel Aviv and the Jewish State.
• Neve Tzedek - The first small Jewish neighborhood outside Jaffa’s walls in the 19th century, followed by many other small ones, each for a different social and ethnic Jewish group. Collectively, they are now called Neve Tzedek. We’ll pass some of the 100+ year-old houses and synagogues. Today, avant-garde design stores, fashion boutiques, handicraft shops, and a handful of good restaurants add to the charm of this low-rise, gentrified neighborhood.
• Park HaMesila - A new urban park connecting the beach with downtown Tel Aviv along the route of the old Ottoman railway. The red line of the Tel Aviv light rail will run under this park.
• Aharon Chelouche House - Aharon arrived in the Holy Land during a Mizrahi Aliya (immigration wave) about 50 years before other Jews started numbering their Ashkenazi Aliyot. He purchased the plot of land called Neve Tzedek and built the first house with a private synagogue.
• Suzanne Dellal Centre - This center for modern dance, home to the Batsheva Dance Company and Inbal Dance Theater, is built on the ruins of the Alliance School for Boys and the Yechiely Girls School (1908). Now beautifully restored with a picturesque piazza.
• Carmel Market (Shuk Ha’Carmel) - A vibrant marketplace where traders sell everything from clothing to spices and vegetables to electronics. Nowadays, it’s also a trendy spot for bars, restaurants, coffee shops, and chef-owned food stalls.
• Kerem HaTeimanim - An early 19th-century poor neighborhood for Jewish immigrants from Yemen. These settlers started a market that would become Tel Aviv’s largest, the Carmel Market. The tin shacks and wooden houses are gone, but the narrow streets remain, with small restaurants and ground-level houses.

Take a leisurely stroll along the renowned Rothschild Boulevard, starting from Habima and ending at Ahuzat Bayit, the area that was renamed Tel Aviv in 1910. During the walk, discover the challenges faced by the founding families, their achievements in establishing a modern Hebrew city, and admire the beautifully restored Bauhaus architecture.

Next, explore the revitalized Neve Tzedek. Once a slum on the brink of demolition, it has transformed into a residence for over a dozen billionaires. This delightful, stylish neighborhood from the 19th century is now brimming with boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and sophisticated fashion and jewelry stores.

For the tasting experience (not available on Friday and Saturday), continue to another historic neighborhood, established in 1904 for impoverished immigrants from Yemen. Their market evolved into Tel Aviv’s largest. The Carmel Market, which also survived the city’s demolition plans, is now flourishing. Alongside the fruit and vegetable stalls and small Yemenite eateries, it now features numerous bars, dining spots, and chef-owned food establishments.
