The Historic Heart - Bialik Square: A Taste of Modernism, a Touch of History

Bialik Square, home of national poet Hayim Nahman Bialik, is the historical heart of Tel Aviv and one of its main heritage sites. The square is surrounded by buildings of historical, cultural, and urban significance, designed by leading architects during the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s - architectural gems that demonstrate the evolution of the local style.

The tour begins at The Liebling Haus - White City Center, a multidisciplinary project dedicated to the modernist architecture of the White City.

Meeting point: 29 Idelson St. (Liebling Haus)

End point: 56 Mazeh St.

 

The Vibrant Boulevard - Rothschild Boulevard and its Surroundings

The bustling boulevard is the main artery leading to the cultural heart of the city - Habima Square. The boulevard is one of the first four streets of Tel Aviv and plays a major role in its urban development. Many notable buildings stand along Rothschild Boulevard, including former homes of municipal and national leaders, where significant historical events such as the Israeli Declaration of Independence had taken place. An economic and business hub adorned with skyscrapers towering over listed buildings, Rothschild Boulevard is an example of the coexistence of historic conservation and accelerated urban development. During the tour along the street, we will observe the evolution of local architecture, and see how the fusion of eclectic, international, and brutalist styles reveals the geographical, social, and cultural story of the city.

Meeting point: 29 Idelson St. (Liebling Haus)

End point: Habima Square

 

The Fringe - Florentin: An Alternative to UNESCO

The southern neighborhood of Florentin borders the UNESCO White City zone. In the late 1990s, the neighborhood experienced a regeneration, when the relatively low rents compared to the city center attracted young people captivated by its rough charm. The tour of Florentin reveals the unique architectural, commercial, and social diversity of the neighborhood, where international style buildings stand next to eclectic architecture; the streets are divided into different professions (spices, toys, fashion wholesale, etc.); and vibrant historical markets are surrounded by trendy restaurants and bars.

Meeting point: 5-7 Saadia Gaon St. (at the park)

End point: Florentine St., Cnr. Washington Boulevard
