Attractions in Haifa

Haifa Highlights

Haifa’s unique landscape on Mount Carmel is home to the Baháʼí Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage site featuring nineteen terraced gardens and the Shrine of the Báb. The city’s cultural heritage is preserved at Madatech, housed in the historic 1912 Technion building, and the Israel Railway Museum, which documents the region's transport history. Art and coexistence are central themes, seen in the Tikotin Museum’s Japanese collection and the collaborative programs at Beit HaGefen. Historic sites like the 1930s Chiat Orchard provide insight into the city’s architectural and botanical past.
