Explore Israel’s historical and artistic legacy through these essential landmarks. In Jerusalem, the 2,700-year-old Tower of David and the Israel Museum—housing the Dead Sea Scrolls—offer deep archaeological insights. The Yad Va'Shem memorial provides a somber look at Holocaust history. Moving to Tel Aviv, the Museum of Art features works by Picasso and Kandinsky, while the Illana Gur Museum presents an eclectic private collection in Jaffa. The selection is rounded out by the modernist Great Synagogue and the politically significant Rabin Square.
