Places to visit in Tel Aviv
- Habima Square: At the intersection of two of Tel-Aviv's largest streets, Dizengoff and Rothschild Boulevard, in the city's centre, lies Kikar Habima (Habima Square), which provides tourists with a plethora of chances for exploration. The square, which can be thought of as a cultural refuge, is distinct from the neighbourhood’s busy streets and chaotic traffic. It has become well-known as a gathering place for both locals and tourists.
- Old City: This historic city is a landmark of Tel Aviv and is located in the southern part of the city, close to the Mediterranean Sea. Looking south along the coast of Tel Aviv, you can see hills surrounded by residences. The old city of Jaffa shows a clock tower on one of these hills. Much of the old town is now home to studios, galleries, and several art shops. Representing the 12 constellations, it features 12 constellation-themed fountains, streets named after the 12 constellations, and bridges dedicated to the 12 wishing constellations.
- Tel Aviv Port: Tel Aviv Port, which lies along the coast north of Tel Aviv, has been renovated by the city government, transforming it into a major destination for entertainment, recreation, and shopping. Wooden planks are laid out on the surface, and smooth stones of various shapes are tastefully placed all over the surface, which act as both seating and decoration. The port is a beautiful and innovative area as creative ideas emerge in every nook and cranny.
- The Clock Tower: The Clock Tower in the middle of Jaffa Square was built in 1901. There are seven Clock Towers built in Israel, and a hundred were built under the Ottoman Empire, including this one in Jaffa. As part of his reforms to bring the empire's cities into line with Western designs, the Sultan ordered the construction of these towers. They put four clocks in the tower, two of which showed European time and two Israeli time.
