Q: In what architectural style were Netanya’s iconic buildings built and who designed them?

Netanya's central quarters reflect three key styles: international (Schneerson's house by architect Joseph Berlin), Bauhaus (residential complexes of the 1930s) and modernism (municipality building). Of particular value are the “white cities” – neighborhoods of the 1930s and 50s, included in the preliminary list of UNESCO. Alumni of the Bauhaus School, including Arie Sharon, participated in the design.

Q: Where to go in Netanya with children other than the beaches?

Children will be interested in the Utopia Orchid Park with tropical greenhouses, the interactive museum “Sand Center” with a mineralogical collection and the ostriches farm “Yamin Orde”. In the archaeological park Umm Khaled you can see the ruins of the XII century Crusaders and Byzantine mosaics. For teenagers there is an exhibition complex "Auditorium" with technological exhibits.

Q: Where in Netanya to take the most atmospheric photos?

The best shots are obtained at the Wings Fountain in Kikar HaAtzmaut Square, against the background of the orange plantations of the Beit Jehoshua Moshav and in the old town with its characteristic two-storey houses of the 1930s. A unique angle opens from the observation deck at the lighthouse - against the background of the Mediterranean sunset and the rocks of Pardis HaGalim.

What to see in Netanya

Netanya is a sunny resort on the Mediterranean coast of Israel, located about half an hour from Tel Aviv. The city attracts guests with a mild climate, a long coastal line and a relaxed atmosphere: it is easy to combine a beach holiday, walks along the promenade and acquaintance with the lively urban culture.

Manufactures and facilities

Man-made attractions of Netanya make walks bright and memorable. On Herzel Street are famous statues of street musicians who often become the center of photography and local stories. A popular fountain beats Independence Square, and a small ancient amphitheatre is located near Amfi Beach, adding a historical touch to the seascape. A bicycle park, sports grounds and the city promenade with cafes and sculptures form a living infrastructure for walking and outdoor activities.

Natural attractions and places

The natural pearls of Netanya and the surrounding area are not inferior to the impression: nine beaches with a total length of about 13.5 km offer golden sand, clear water and various options for a quiet or lively holiday. The beaches of Herzl, Poleg, Argaman, Onot and Sironite – each with its own atmosphere: from quiet coves to picturesque boulders and wide sand strips. The Poleg River and Agamun Ahula Park attract nature lovers with calm walks and picturesque shores, where you can see the local flora and take great photos.
