The Orange Routes - A Pleasant Idea to Get to Know Tel Aviv-Jaffa
For those who prefer an individual tour, there’s another idea: “The Orange Routes”.
The starting point is at 5 Shalom Aleichem Street, in the stretch between Hayarkon and Ben Yehuda Streets. Direction signs lead to the first bus stops of each of the trails and signs along the trails, colored orange and green, enable easy orientation. At every site there are explanatory notices, telling the story of the place.
Detailed information and maps of trails (in Hebrew), can be obtained at the tourist information bureaus:
* City Hall Lobby, 69 Ibn Gvirol Street, telephone: +972 3 5218500
* Tel Aviv Promenade, 46 Herbert Samuel Street, telephone: +972 3 5166188
