4. Immanuel Church
5. Ilana Goor Museum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 538 reviews
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.

This was my favorite thing to see in Tel Aviv/Jaffa. One woman's wonderful, eclectic collection, including her own work. The building is amazing as well - and old collection of spaces tied together to make a large home right in the old city's walls. You really feel that you are a visitor in her fantastic house and that she would be the most amazing friend to have. Can't recommend this enough. Take some time to sit on the roof terraces and to poke through every inch of the this place. There is a shop that sells some of her work (with understandably high prices). This is such a one-of-a-kind place. Don't miss it.

As a port of entry, the Jaffa port has seen better days - many of them. This is rumoured to be the oldest functioning port in the world.

The old Jaffa port is a great place to wander around on a warm, sunny day. many of the streets have been nicely restored. There are lots of crowds and an energetic atmosphere.
