A city of views, sea and harmony — Haifa blends a world-heritage site, a Templar colony, markets, museums and beaches, all on a single slope that runs down to the sea. Here is the complete guide to its attractions, and the most convenient places to stay so you can explore them on foot.
Haifa is a city best discovered on foot and in short drives. These are the attractions every visitor should see:
Beyond the urban attractions, Haifa also offers a real seaside holiday. The Bat Galim promenade and the bathing beaches along the bay are perfect for a day of sun, while the Memorial Garden and the Carmel offer walking trails with viewpoints. Families will love the educational zoo and the city's small safari, and couples will prefer sunset from the upper promenade.
Haifa is also an excellent base for trips around the north — Akko, Rosh Hanikra and the Western Galilee are all a short drive away. It's well worth adding a day in old Akko or a trip around the north to your vacation.
The most comfortable way to experience Haifa is a vacation apartment in a central location — your own kitchen, private space and the ability to walk back from every attraction. We have vacation rentals in Haifa for couples, for families and for tourists, some within walking distance of the Bahá'í Gardens and the German Colony. We'll be glad to recommend options and help you plan your days in the city.
"Haifa pleasantly surprised us — three days weren't enough. The Bahá'í Gardens are stunning, the food in Wadi Nisnas is excellent, and the apartment was in the perfect spot to reach everything on foot. We'll happily return."
