Itinerary
Visit a colony of German Templars, built in the 19th century with authentic houses, which has become the tourist center of Haifa. Who were the people to build it and why aren't they here anymore? And don't forget to take a picture of the Baha'i Gardens!
Visit the central terrace of the Baha'i Gardens in Haifa, walk along the path leading to the Shrine of Bab and visit inside. Who was the man buried inside and why the Baha'i World Center is in Haifa?
Take a look from the upper point of the Baha'i Gardens at Haifa and whole surrounding area, at Haifa Bay and the mountains of Galilee.
Visit the church of the Stella Maris Carmelite Monastery built, according to the Christian tradition, over the Elija's Cave. See the Lighthouse building, the monument of Napoleon's Soldiers and the Column of Holy Virgin Mary. What did Napoleon Bonaparte do here? And why do Israeli soldiers serve here under the cross and the icon?
Expressive halls, towers, a crypt of St. Johne's church, a jail, a secret pass, streets around the fortress and even a medieval public toilet. The unique opportunity for watching a crusaders' daily life of 900 years ago.And why are the stairs in the courtyard so wide?
Walk through the narrow streets of the Old City, past mosques, markets, and streets named after famous people who have visited here. Why does UNESCO call it the best-preserved medieval city in the world if there are no medieval buildings on the ground? And what about trying some hummus? People say that it's the best here.
The Port of Acre. Once the most important port on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea, the capital of the Kingdom of Jerusalem for 99 years, and now a small harbor for yachts, fishermen, and tourist boats. Take a small cruise on a fishing boat along the massive city walls, listening to the sounds of local music. The cruise requires an additional fee.
The large underground tunnel between former Templars' Fortress and the port looks like a medieval subway. Who built it and why?
The colors of a traditional Mideastern market, where everything is for sale: spices, coffee, clothes, toys, sweets and especially fish. Try something there!
Take a walk on the city walls of Acre and enjoy the stunning views of Haifa and Haifa Bay. You can see the port, the beaches, and the mountains in the distance. You might also see some teenagers jumping into the water from the walls.

About Haifa
Haifa is a port city in northern Israel climbing Mount Carmel, known for the terraced Bahá'í Gardens, the German Colony and views over the bay.
Haifa rises in tiers from the Mediterranean up Mount Carmel, with the port at the bottom, the German Colony in the middle and the residential Carmel neighbourhoods along the ridge. The Bahá'í Gardens, nineteen terraces of lawns, stairways and fountains around the golden-domed Shrine of the Báb, are a World Heritage Site. The German Colony's main street, Ben-Gurion Boulevard, is lined with 19th-century houses built by Templer settlers.
