The heart of town

The seeds of Tel Aviv were planted in the area around Rothschild Boulevard and Herzl Street. Little Tel Aviv, as this area is known, is still, in many ways, the beating heart of the town.

Rothschild Boulevard is undeniably the most beautiful street in the city. The buildings at the western end of the boulevard are mostly Eclectic Style the architectural trend that was prominent at the turn of the 20th century. Further to the east, the buildings are notably International Style (Bauhaus). The tree-shaded, busy lane is engraved with the countrys history, as it was here, in the Hall of Independence (former home of the citys first mayor, Meir Dizengoff),
where the establishment of the State of Israel was famously
proclaimed.
