Beautiful sceneries and possibility to rest. Very good public transportation.

Hills & Strict Guards (~_~)
In a nutshell
Worth a visit but combine it with Akko
51 Reviews Sitting proudly on the hillside, the golden domed Baha'i Temple and surrounding Hanging Gardens dominate the skyline from the coastal road. Chicago and Haifa are the 2 main centres for this faith, and a recent huge investment resulted in the complete re-landscaping of the gardens, descending several...
11 Reviews Running parallel to Hanassi Boulevard beyond the main hotels (Dan, Dan Panorama and Nof) is the Louis Promenade. This is the spot for THE view in Haifa, looking northwest across the bay towards Akko. The Baha'i gardens are below you as is Haifa port and the lower part of the city, the satellite...
13 Reviews Before starting your tour through the German Colony I recommend to visit the Haifa Tourist Board and ask for a broshure about the quarter. It is available in English, explains the background of the Colony and contains a small map (drawing) of the interesting houses.
5 Reviews Approaching Haifa from the south is arguably the best way to see the city. On your right is the long ridge of the Carmel Mountain with buildings clinging to its steep sides and atop its long, long 'peak'. To your left is the breaking waves and golden sands of the Mediterranean. Immediately before...
4 Reviews During the British Mandate period Haifa and its port developed. Sir Frederick Palmer was the British port engineer who chose Haifa as the location for a deepwater port, and the main gate of the port was named after him. As the commemorative sign puts it, during the British Mandate period the Haifa...
5 Reviews One of several film festivals in Israel, this one takes place during Succot (late September/early October) and my personal favourite. It is very much a festival that is part of the city (the more established Jerusalem Film Festival is very much centred round the Cinematheque), screenings being...
2 Reviews I have a confession to make. I grew up in a very non-scientific home. My father was a rabbi and a historian. My mother was a teacher of Hebrew and Bible. I was terrible in math and science from the time I can remember myself, and my parents, no math geniuses or scientists themselves, had great...
3 Reviews This Cafe / restaurant look like one of the nices at the area. We only looked for a warm drink after walking around for a few hours and we decided to check this one and look inside, the surprise was big and we immediately "conquered" one of the warm comfi sofa's. The room that we set it was under...
2 Reviews We ate here in June 2006 and had an excellent meal. This restaurant is in an old stone buidling in the German Colony of Haifa. The street it is on has many restaurants, but this is supposedly the best one. If possible ask to sit downstairs in the wine bar or in one of the several small private...
3 Reviews Yotvata in the city (Yotvata ba'ir) is a place that you can eat things that are not meat but i will not call it a vegetrian restaurant. You can drink milkshake , fruitshake , ice coffee and soft drinks. You can eat cakes , pizza , pasta , i think fish , salads. In Haifa the place is very close to...
2 Reviews Israel has the best falafel in the middle east (or so they say). Haifa has the best falafel in Israel (that's a given). And Falafel Hazkenim ("The Elders") is the best in Haifa. The falafel balls are fried to deep-brown perfection, the tahini is heavenly, the pitas are large and soft, and the elders...
5 Reviews I visited Rosh HaNikra and Akko on a daytrip from Haifa. In the morning I took the train from Haifa to Nahariya. It was 16 shekels and took 45 minutes. In Nahariya I went to the bus station, which is just next to the train station, and sat down to wait for the right bus. I had read there were not...
6 Reviews you arrived directly by boat from athens-rhodes-limassol;but the boat is now not available, because of the frequent wars, the boat line is cancelled if you arrive by plane ,there are plenty of buses from ben gourion airport to haifa; there is now a direct train from ben gourion aiport to haifa, go...
1 Review Go to the Panorama Shopping Mall. They have excellent Israeli items as well as the usual wares. The Panorama Center was established in 1986. It is located in the heart of the Carmel, adjacent to the Dan Panorama Hotel. There are 4,000 square meters of commercial space and 150 parking spaces.
4 Reviews Begin your tour of Wadi NisNas at the entrance sign, put there in three languages, Hebrew, Arabic and English the two official languges of Israel and the third "unofficial".... This second picture looks like a modern type of ad campaign, but it is NOT, the artist who painted is has signed his name....
3 Reviews Just by the Israel - Lebanon border (which is closed) are the caves and white cliffs of Rosh HaNikra. It is a beautiful place by the Mediterranean Sea. The caves have been carved out of the rock by rain and the sea and a long tunnel has been made by man to connect the caves and make access easier...
4 Reviews A spice shop in the old city of Acco on the northern tip of Haifa Bay. This shop, one of many in the old Turkish bazaar, is packed with all kinds of exotic spices, coffee, and much more...
7 Reviews Yes Kaiser Wilhelm the II of Germany visited back in 1898, this was a new piece of history for me. The object of their visit was to see the "German Colony" which you can still see the remnants of at the base of Mount Carmel (below the BaHai Temple Gardens). Here at the top of Mount Carmel a placque...
5 Reviews Visit the Bahai Temple and its gardens. The Bahai religion was founded in 1863 by Mirza Husayn, a Persian who was later known as Bahaullah. Haifa serves as the world center of this religion. See my travelogue on the gardens.
2 Reviews Walking the streets of the old German Colony can give you a glimpse of the life of the immigrants to Israel. These German immigrants built a "colony" or neighbourhood around themselves to help them cope with a new life in a new country, a way to insulate themselves and instill a feeling of "the old...

Dominating Haifa skyline is the Bahai Shrine with its gardens (check out the travelogue for more).

As I was born and grew up in Haifa, it is my favorite city. As an objective person (which I'm not) what can be more beautiful then a city on the slopes of mount Carmel, kissing the blue sea
