4.5 Ilana Goor Museum (555 reviews)
- An Aladdin’s den of amazing art.
Sunday: 10:00 AM - 2:00 PM Spent 1-2 hours Architectural Buildings • Art Museums

The Ilana Goor Museum, distinct in its dual purpose as both the gallery and private home of the artist, is a uniquely hidden gem in the old city of Jaffa. Housed in a historically rooted eighteenth-century structure, the museum allows visitors to see and feel the eclectic collection of famous Israeli sculptor Ilana Goor with Old Jaffa as a background storyline and setting. Within the walls of the beautifully-renovated structure lay over 500 artworks, both by Goor herself and by guest Israeli and international artists included in the museum collection. For the first time in Israel, you have the opportunity to admire works of art from the point of view of the artist/collector rather than as exhibits in a sterile academic environment. Despite the Museum's eclectic nature, each room features creations from different places and times. Each work of art has a different background and a story all its own. The Museum's uniqueness lies in the unexpected contexts generated by each artist, both on the human and on the visual level. See more..

4.5 Ramat Gan National Park (290 reviews)
- Amazing park in the center of Israel
National Parks • Parks

I visited this park many times during different seasons and it was a great experience every time. The park is green, has a lot of trees of different kinds, a huge territory that is cleaned and taken care of. Also lately there are vending machines in the park’s territory and a small coffee shop that’s open every day including Saturday. Often there are free musical performances on evenings and sometimes other activities, like yoga or dance club. There’s also a nature museum and a small shifting library at the park’s territory. In the winter, the park is specifically green and flourishing, while in the summertime it’s hotter and more crowded. I absolutely recommend this park to visit for couples, for a families and for solo travelers wishing to enjoy some nature and quiet in the very center of Israel! See more..
