Tel Aviv's 'White City' is a UNESCO World Heritage site containing the world's largest concentration of Bauhaus-style buildings. Built in the 1930s and 40s by German Jewish architects fleeing the Nazis, these buildings are characterized by their functionalism, white walls, and curved balconies. The best way to experience it is by walking along Rothschild Boulevard and Bialik Street. The architecture reflects the Zionist dream of building a modern, egalitarian city in the sand. Visitors can see how the International Style was adapted to the local Mediterranean climate. It is an essential stop for architecture enthusiasts and history fans interested in the 20th-century development of Tel Aviv.
