One of the places, or streets, that you need to see if you are on an Israel tour is Rothschild Tel Aviv. Also known as Sderot Rothschild to the Israelis, it is one of the major and most famous thoroughfares in the city of Tel Aviv. Actually, the boulevard starts in Neve Tzedek Tel Aviv, the oldest known Jewish settlement in the city, at its southwest end. The street then runs northward to the Habima Theater, one of the country’s first Hebrew Theaters. Rothschild is known to be a very busy street with a great amount of traffic of pedestrians, private cars and autobus traversing the boulevard. It is also recognized as one of the most expensive streets in this Middle Eastern City in terms of apartment rentals.

Needless to say, Rothschild Boulevard Tel Aviv is one of the White City’s main tourist spots. The street is wide and features a tree-lined inland strip that can easily accommodate flow of pedestrians. It likewise has bike lanes for the city’s many bicycle owners to use. The boulevard is unofficially known as the city’s food and restaurant strip. Tourists can find a number of excellent fine dining establishments and fast food restaurants along the boulevard. Two of the favorite hangouts of coffee and choco lovers are the Café Care Restaurant and Max Brenner Chocolate Restaurant. The latter actually originates from Israel and it is the same Max Brenner that one can find in New York.

Like other places like Neve Tzedek Tel Aviv, the street has its own share of the rich Jewish history. Actually, in the beginning it was known as Rehov HaAm, roughly translated in English as Street of the people. Later, the residents of the place requested the Municipality to have it renamed in honor of Edmond James de Rothschild, French Baron and belonging of the Rothschild banking family. Famous buildings, either residential or for art works, are found in the street. One of the most famous houses can be found on the corner of Herzl and Rothschild Boulevard Tel Aviv, the owners of which was the Eliavson family, one of the 60 founding families of the city. Built in 1909, the building was bought by the French Institute in 2007 and restored to its former state and glory.

Likewise, the Declaration of Independence by Israel was signed at the historic Independence Hall of Rothschild Tel Aviv. Many other buildings and structures of great historical value are constructed and still standing along the boulevard, many of them in Bauhaus styled architecture. The street in fact has a number of Bauhaus style buildings that are a part of the White City, considered to be a major World Heritage Site as designated by the International organization UNESCO.

We decided to leave Tel Aviv Yafo for a day and made a long, long trip to Mount Hermon last February 12, 2010. The commuting time from Tel Aviv to Hermon and back took up most of the day, I believe we only spent 2 or 3 hours at the site. But obviously our visit was one or two weeks late as snow was not as abundant as how it was in our last visit three years ago. We just (or least the kids) tried to enjoy what was left of it. Many of us decide to ride the cable car and took videos. Certainly, this is going to be our last visit here before we leave Tel Aviv Israel for home this August.

The Tel Aviv car service of Israel is one you can depend on for your transportation and touring needs during your stay in the country. Of course, there are other reliable means of transportation, one being the sherut, a special type of van that can accommodate up to 10 passengers. You have to pay 5.50 shekels for the trip, the same minimum amount that a bus or autobus charges it passengers. Perhaps for some, taking the sherut is much easier as they can hail it anywhere, unlike the autobus, which can only take in passengers at its designated tahana (bus stops).

Being the most convenient mode of transportation, from the airport to the hotel (try Dan Tel Aviv Hotel) or perhaps to any Tel Aviv hostel and then to your destination in the city, try a reliable Tel Aviv car service.

If your primary purpose in visiting Israel is to tour the country, auto service is an excellent way of getting around. An important benefit of getting one is that most drivers unofficially act as Israel tour guides. Who would know the various historical and Biblical places in country such as the Wailing Wall, the Old City, Jaffa and the Dead sea but the Tel Aviv car and limo chauffeurs themselves.

If you have not drawn out your own tour plan, most Tel Aviv car service companies offer their own trip and tour packages. Vehicles available for rental range from the mini bus to the Luxurious limousine. You simply have to rely on the internet for a good number of auto and car service websites and check on their services and prices as well as offered tour suggestions.
