About this place

The iconic Dizengoff Street runs through Tel Aviv from Ibn Gabirol Street in the south to the Tel Aviv port area in the north. The street is named after Tel Aviv’s first mayor, Meir Dizengoff. It is famed for its glamorous fashion stores, bridal boutique, cafes and “in” eateries. Since its establishment in the 1930s, the fortunes of Dizengoff Street have risen, fallen and risen again; today a visit to the vibrant, bustling street is a must when in Tel Aviv. The northern end of Dizengoff Square is more up-market, with designer-name stores while the southern end is home to Dizengoff Shopping Center.
