A mobile app will guide walkers along the path
March 16, 2018 11:25A new walking trail connecting key heritage sites will launch in Tel Aviv next month to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the State of Israel.
The kilometre-long path, which aims to tell the story of Tel Aviv’s beginnings and the run-up to independence, will start at the First Kiosk of Tel Aviv, an iconic building at the corner of Rothschild and Herzl boulevards in Neve Tzedek.
This was the first neighbourhood to be established in the city a century ago.
The gold-edged trail will then proceed along Rothschild Boulevard past landmarks including the Nahum Gutman fountain, the Akiva Aryeh Weiss house, the Great Synagogue, Haganah Museum and Independence Hall.
