Experience Details

Stroll the famous Rothschild Boulevard from Habima to Ahuzat Bayit, the neighborhood that was renamed Tel Aviv in 1910. While walking you learn about the problems of the founding families, their success in building a modern Hebrew city and enjoy the beautifully restored Bauhaus architecture.


Next we will visit gentrified Neve Tzedek. From a slum that was about to be erased, it became home to over a dozen billionaires. This charming, chic, neighborhood from the 19th century is now filled with boutiques, cafe’s, restaurants and elegant fashion and jewelry stores.


For the tasting part (not on Friday and Saturday) we continue to another old neighborhood, built in 1904 for poor immigrants from Yemen. Their market grew into the largest one of Tel Aviv. This Carmel Market also survived the city's obliteration plans and is thriving now. In addition to the fruits and vegetables stalls and little Yemenite restaurants it now has many bars, eateries and chef-owned food spots.
