About the City
Haifa is Israel’s third largest city, Israel’s chief port and home to 400,000 inhabitants. It sits on the slopes of Mount Carmel facing the Mediterranean Sea. There are a number of great things to do in Haifa.
The city’s crown jewel when it comes to tourism is undoubtedly the Bah’ai Gardens. They form part of the Bah’ai World Center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. These beautiful gardens are a place of pilgrimage for members of the Bah’ai faith. They sit on terraces sloping down Mount Carmel towards the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. At the bottom of the gardens is Haifa’s German Colony. The area is famous for its pretty streets of restored Templar buildings. The main street of the German Colony runs directly from the bottom of the gardens towards the coast and is lined with restaurants and cafes.
