As somebody said,, all the "streets" of Tel Aviv can be found here, and other famous residents, too. But the most moving part are the graves of all the unknown soldiers who died in local battles in the War of Indpendence. Young boys and girls who went into the army, literally, right off of the ship. There was no system... More

Best to take the guided tour - and get the one that spells out all the juicy stuff of early tel aviv days: the romance, the drama, the artists' cafe's and the stories of Alexander Penn

The cemetery on Trumpeldor Street contains many of the founding father and mothers of the city. It is small but filled with stories. Admittedly I'm prejudiced because I do have a few relatives there.

What an interesting place to visit. But I must add that what made this meaningful to me was that we went with a wonderful guide whose knowledge about the place and the people buried there was invaluable. She had stories to go with the information and after all was said and done it gave us great insight into the many... More

The old Tel Aviv cemetary is a testament to the history of Tel Aviv, having a lot of famous persona from politics and the art scene. The place may not be in the best of conditions but a walk throufh the yard reveals a variety of tombstones also erected for unknown soldiers and more

The cemetery is one of the first Jewish cemetery in Tel Aviv. Builders and founders of Tel Aviv are buried in this old cemetery. Politicians, actors, artists, and singers, are buried in this cemetery. the place has opening hours, so dont go there with out checking when it is open.
