Tel Aviv is Israel's Mediterranean city of white Bauhaus buildings, long beaches, street markets and a café-lined seafront beside ancient Jaffa.
Tel Aviv was founded in 1909 on sand dunes north of the old port of Jaffa and grew quickly into a city of modernist apartment blocks. Its White City, a large collection of Bauhaus and International Style buildings, is listed by UNESCO. Rothschild Boulevard is lined with these buildings and shaded by trees, and Independence Hall, where the state was declared in 1948, stands on it.
