Netanya - The Town

Netanya's principal street, named after Theodor Herzl, is lined with shops, restaurants and cafes. Herzl Street runs west from the main Tel Aviv-Haifa road, passing the Head Post Office (at the corner of David Raziel Street), the principal synagogue, the bus station (on Benyamin Boulevard), the central taxi rank (in Zion Square) and the Town Hall, to Ha'atzmaut Square (Kikar Ha'atzmaut) with its gardens and fountains. On the seaward side is the tourist information office, and along the north side is a small park with a modern amphitheater facing the sea. There are numerous restaurants round the square, but the town's hotels are to be found in the streets running north-south, almost all of them with a view of the sea.
