Tel Aviv began in 1909 as a new neighborhood beside the ancient port of Jaffa. The city is now home to the largest cluster of Bauhaus-style buildings in the world which earned UNESCO recognition for its early 20th-century urban planning. Visitors can explore those structures on guided architectural walks through streets like Rothschild or Dizengoff.

Walking through Jaffa offers a clear sense of the city's layered past. In narrow stone alleys, tavelers can browse antique crafts at the Flea Market, step into historic art studios, or sip coffee at quiet cafes that face the old harbor. Nearby, the Sarona Market features around 90 food stalls and shops inside a restored Templer compound.
