A Self-Guided Walking Tour of Israel’s Neve Tzedek

On this self-guided walking tour through Neve Tzedek, you'll take a break from the non-stop city and find history in its first neighbourhood. Neve Tzedek was the first Jewish neighbourhood outside the walls of ancient Jaffa, and the beginning of what’s now Tel Aviv, built by Aron Chelouche in 1887 so he could escape the inner-city crowds. Allow me, Tomer, a tour guide and Aron’s great-great-great grandson, to show you the narrow and picturesque streets dotted around the neighbourhood, and bring its stories to life. I’ll also show you the house of my forefathers on our way to Chelouche Bridge – which was built especially so my great-great-great grandfather could travel into town. Discover Neve Tzedek's secrets: shutter signals, a $100 million house, free movies at Eden Cinema, historic feuds, its Parisian roots, and a Nobel balcony. Give yourself at least 40 minutes to fully explore and appreciate Tel Aviv’s petit Paris.
