Tel Aviv is a city built on layers of history, architecture, culture, and flavor. Join renowned tour guide Gila Levitan for two eye-opening virtual journeys that takes you far beyond the guidebooks. Session 1 - History - Jaffa Belle of the Seas: Wander the winding alleys of ancient Jaffa, where Tel Aviv’s story starts. Discover the city's oldest treasures—from the flea market to the Ilana Goor Museum—and see how historical streets are adapting to a 21st-century landscape shaped by the new light rail and modern development. Session 2 - Culture - Foundations: From Colonies to City Streets: Explore the first bold steps beyond Jaffa’s walls—the American and German colonies, Neve Tzedek, and the old train line turned Park HaMesila. Contrast the charm of Florentin’s bohemian vibe with the creeping edges of gentrification in this dynamic portrait of Tel Aviv's earliest neighborhoods.
