Bauhaus and Other Surprises: The Best of Tel Aviv
One part Europe, two parts Middle East, with a dash of Africa, the Israeli capital of Tel Aviv is jam-packed with art, design, ancient ruins, and delicious fare. Yet this popular city still holds some secrets. In a region where most cities were founded before Christ was born, Tel Aviv is very new. A tiny village until the 1930s, it was the exodus of Jews from Europe that saw the modern city grow. It’s a modern, vibrant and cosmopolitan city set on a sunbronzed strip of coastline, right on the Mediterranean Sea.
