Bialik Square, Tel Aviv

Bialik Square, Tel Aviv

Renovated in 2009, the small round Bialik Square is today a popular place, and together with surrounding buildings is an object of UNESCO World Heritage. More specifically, there are four architecturally-notable museums on its sides, of which one is the house where the greatest Hebrew poet of modern times, Chaim Nachman Bialik settled upon immigrating to Israel; another is the striking "old" town hall now housing exhibits on the city's development; and you also have the Bauhaus Museum and the Liebling Haus, both nicely capturing the essence of a Bauhaus building and inviting to explore their fascinating story from several perspectives.

Historically, the square is an integral part of the eponymous street, itself regarded as an urban museum, with architecture that ranges wildly from eclectic to Bauhaus. When not drawing in locals with a concert or dance party, the charming tree-lined street provides the opportunity for a little intimate stroll; you can spend some time walking around, sip a tasty coffee or go for a traditional meal nearby at a cozy café... Time here stands still if you allow it to, if only for a moment.

Tel Aviv Introduction Walking Tour

The second largest metropolis in Israel, Tel Aviv started off as a humble settlement on the outskirts of the ancient city of Jaffa in the then part of Ottoman Syria.

A Walk in The Old City of Jaffa

One of the oldest port cities on the Mediterranean coast, the first record of which dates back to the 15th century BC, Jaffa is a part of Tel Aviv, although quite different in terms of vibe. Famous for its ancient slate houses and narrow winding stone roads, it feels a bit similar to the ancient towns of Asia, but far less noisy and not too crowded.

Also, devoid of the strong religious...  view more
