Visiting Dizengoff Street and Square

About Dizengoff Street and Square

Dizengoff Street is the city's main shopping and café strip, with fashion boutiques and bridal shops towards the north and Dizengoff Square's restored Fire and Water Fountain by Yaacov Agam in the middle. The square is ringed by Bauhaus buildings and is a good starting point for an architecture walk.

Tip: Walk north from the square to Basel Street for quieter neighbourhood cafés.
