Bauhaus Tours of Tel Aviv (World Heritage Site)

The center conducts riveting walking tours throughout the city of prominent Bauhaus buildings (International Style) built during the 1930s and 1940s. This functional architecture created a cohesive urban landscape that is unparalleled throughout the world's cities. Each tour is two hours. Special tours may be booked for groups. Individuals are invited to join our regularly-scheduled general tours.
A regular tour is held every Friday at 10:00 a.m. (please contact the center beforehand).

Additional tours in Tel Aviv:

Jaffa:
One of the oldest settlements along the Eastern Mediterranean. Pharaoh Thutmose conquered the town, which is mentioned in the Bible. Later, the Crusaders used its port. Starting in 1291, Jaffa was ruled for centuries by Mamlukes, until 1917, when the British general Edmund Allenby led the Egyptian Expeditionary Force to conquer the city. In 1950, Jaffa was incorporated into the Tel Aviv municipality.

Neve Zedek
This is the first Jewish neighborhood built outside of Jaffa. The city of Tel Aviv evolved from this neighborhood. The tour brings us back to the first days of Tel Aviv.

Lev Ha Yr (heart of the city)
The neighborhood "Lev Ha Yr" was established during the 1920s and 1930s and demonstrates the Zionist ideals of these days. Landlords realized their dreams in so called "dream buildings": pagodas, Moslem architecture as well as European classicism characterize the "heart of the city".

Rechov Bialik
One of the most picturesque streets in the heart of Tel Aviv "ha ktana" (little Tel Aviv) with great historical, cultural and social significance.


Akko, Acre (World Heritage Site)
Akko has been known since biblical times. In 1104 it fell into Crusaders hands and became the economic center of the Crusader Kingdom in the Holy Land for the next 200 years. The impressive fortresses the Crusaders erected are evidence of a notable era – today the Crusader city lies outside the present old town, which was built in the 18th century.


Massada (World Heritage Site)
The uniqueness of Massada is due to discoveries from the time of King Herod. He ruled the land 2000 years ago. Herod had many enemies; he decided to build a fortress for himself and his family on Massada – an isolated location in the Judean Desert. For this purpose he built casemate walls around the entire fortress, two castles, food warehouses, a water collection pool, baths etc. On Massada the drama during the Great Jewish Revolt against the Romans took place.

The tours are conducted in Hebrew, English and German.
