About Our Tour: Rothschild Boulevard
Rothschild Boulevard was one of the first streets to rise in Tel Aviv over 100 years ago. The original name, Rehov HaAm, means “the street of the people”. Its new name reflected the generosity of Baron Edmond James de Rothschild of the banking dynasty. Interestingly, the street was not originally a boulevard. This was because draining the dry wadi which ran along the middle was too big a challenge. The street ran on either side, forming the first of a number of boulevards which can be found in the city. These now characterize the city’s image and architecture.
Each side of the street towers with historical sites related to the founding of the nation, as well as beautiful Bauhaus buildings. It’s the iconic architecture of Tel Aviv which led to its recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While ageless, many of these have undergone extensive restoration. They now house the offices of financial institutions, creative firms, restaurants, cafes, and luxury residences.
