Central Tel Aviv

Rabin Square

The biggest public square in Israel is located by the footsteps of the city hall. This square hosts many public demonstrations and events with thousands of participators. The peace support demonstration in 1995 was held here and that's where PM Itzhak Rabin was assassinated. A memorial in his memory is located the the north-east corner of the square.

Despite its compact size, it manages to survey almost the entire gamut of the Bauhaus design genre. Detailed exhibitions, books, maps and posters, multimedia and a great little shops. The center also conducts tours of the Tel Aviv Bauhaus White City F 10AM, duration 2 hours, book ahead and other destinations.

Gan Meir

A small garden between King George and Chernihovsky streets. A green little corner in the midst of the metropolitan with a cute pond in the center and a small dog park. On some evenings you might see mature people playing kids games - it's Tel Aviv.

The main municipal art museum for Tel Aviv focuses on modern and contemporary art. Check for the changing exhibitions and you might find real gems. The children's wing is great fun and not just for kids. The museum also hosts chamber music and Jazz performances on occasions. In the museum's courtyard you will find the municipal library, with books in Hebrew, English and other languages, and Hebrew newspapers and magazines collection. You can read there, but you’ll need a subscription to borrow. Follow the trail north of the library to get to Golda Meir Center of Performing Arts or simply: Golda Center. This complex, newly-built, is the home of the Israeli Opera (http://www.israel-opera.co.il/) and the Cameri Municipal Theater. Ballet performances and classical music concerts are also held here from time to time.
