Budget · 3-hour walk · Tel Aviv
Jaffa to Rothschild in three hours
A four-thousand-year-old port, the first neighbourhood built outside it, and the Bauhaus boulevard.
Tel Aviv and Jaffa are one municipality and about four thousand years apart, and this walk runs from the old port north into the city that was founded on sand dunes in 1909. Rothschild Boulevard is the spine of the White City, which has more Bauhaus buildings than anywhere on earth and is UNESCO-listed for it.
