Even though the Israeli capital, where the Israeli parliament is situated, is in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv was so awesome even in 1948 that they had to declare Israel’s independence there.

Truth is Jerusalem was under a siege, which made thing quite tricky, to say the least. In any case, David Ben Gurion, Israel’s first Prime Minister, declared the establishment of the State of Israel in what then became Independence Hall, on 16 Rothschild Blvd. (רוטשילד)

It was originally first mayor of Tel Aviv Me’ir Dizengoff’s residence, later turned into an art museum, which unexpectedly rose to fame. Now, this humble house is open for visitors, where you can have a look at where history was made, get a glance at the Declaration of Independence, and enjoy the architecture of the early days of Tel Aviv.

>> Tel Aviv is known for its vibrant night life – but in no way does it end there. With dozens of art galleries, concerts, theatre, dance and opera shows, and countless other activities, you can be sure to find just what you are looking for. >> Feel free to ask us more specific questions via the Ask a Local app.
