Description

Start your tour in 4,000-year-old Jaffa. See archaeological findings from the days of the Pharaohs, Crusader ruins, mosques, and churches. Discover evidence of Napoleon's invasion and defeat, and walk along the winding alleyways of old Jaffa and the Jaffa Port. Continue to Tachana, the Old Turkish railway station built over a hundred years ago. See the original tracks and antique train cars that are part of the renovated open-air complex. Admire the beautiful European-style buildings that are part of Valhalla, a German Protestant colony from the 1870s established by the Templers. Next, visit the Neve Zedek neighborhood, the first Jewish settlement outside the Old Jaffa walls and the birthplace of modern Tel Aviv. This small neighborhood looks like it has just stepped out of the picture of one of the Jewish townlets in Eastern Europe of the 19th century. Then, move into the vibrant heart of modern Tel Aviv around Rothschild Boulevard. Discover the seemingly impossible mix of modern skyscrapers and beautiful Eclectic and Bauhaus architecture of the White City of Tel Aviv, designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO. Visit Sarona, a German Templars colony and one of the earliest modern villages of Palestine. See its well-preserved houses, all built in the old German style, and explore the entire area, which is an open-air market and recreation area. Finally, stop at the vibrant Sarona Market, where you also might enjoy a lunch on your own.
