On this tour, we will revisit the golden days of the “Jerusalem Triangle” – three streets that created a world: Jaffa Road, King George Street, and Ben-Yehuda Street. We will learn about Zion Cinema, hear about the first pedestrian mall in Israel, and tell the story of key cultural institutions: Café Europe and its waltz dancing, Café Atara – once the meeting place for the city’s elite – and Café Allenby, Jerusalem’s first fast-food hall.

We will discuss the rise and decline of the city center and the processes of urban renewal in recent decades. The tour concludes with a visit to the recently opened Hasbon complex, which hosts cultural events alongside a social café and a second-hand shop, within preserved historic buildings. The tour includes a beer tasting.

Meeting Point: Zion Square
