On top of it, right at the edge, stand the remains of a Crusader fortress with a dry moat cut into the rock. Below, the beach and the sea. Behind, the villas of Herzliya Pituach. ancient sites history things to do Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://herzliya.org/apollonia-national-park-herzliya-crusader-fortress/ https://herzliya.org/getting-to-and-around-herzliya-train-bus-car/ Herzliya is close enough to Tel Aviv that plenty of people commute between them every day, and the transport links reflect that. A train station with direct services to Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and Ben Gurion Airport, a coastal highway running through the middle of town, and a light rail branch under construction. transport practical city guide Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://herzliya.org/getting-to-and-around-herzliya-train-bus-car/ https://herzliya.org/herzliya-beaches-and-marina-guide/ Herzliya's coast runs from the marina in the south to the cliffs below Apollonia in the north, and the city splits it into a string of separately named beaches. Each one has its own crowd. Families on one, teenagers on the next, surfers at the far end, a beach with men's and women's days, and a stretch under the cliffs where dogs are allowed. beaches marina Herzliya Pituach practical Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://herzliya.org/herzliya-beaches-and-marina-guide/ https://herzliya.org/herzliya-conference-explained-2026/ Every year or so, for two days, the Israeli political and security establishment comes to a university campus in Herzliya to say what it thinks. Prime ministers, defence ministers, army chiefs of staff, heads of the Mossad, opposition leaders, American envoys. The Herzliya Conference is where they go when they want to set out a policy line in public, and where Israeli and foreign reporters go to listen for the line between the lines.

The beaches and hotels of Herzliya Pituach. The high-tech offices along Abba Eban Boulevard. Or the Herzliya Conference, where Israeli prime ministers and army chiefs have made policy speeches for a quarter of a century. history city guide Herzliya Pituach Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://herzliya.org/herzliya-israel-history-population-city-layout/ https://herzliya.org/herzliya-neighbourhoods-nof-yam-herzliya-b-gan-rashal-neve-amirim/ Herzliya Pituach gets the attention, but most of Herzliya's 110,000 residents live somewhere else. The city is a patchwork of neighbourhoods, each with its own housing and its own price level, and the differences between them matter a lot more to someone renting or buying than the city's overall reputation. neighbourhoods real estate relocation Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://herzliya.org/herzliya-neighbourhoods-nof-yam-herzliya-b-gan-rashal-neve-amirim/ https://herzliya.org/herzliya-pituach-high-tech-zone-companies-2026/ Drive off Highway 2 at the Kfar Shmaryahu interchange on a weekday morning and you join the queue into one of the most valuable square kilometres in Israeli tech.

It's the slice of the city west of Highway 2, running along the sea from the marina up to the cliffs at Apollonia, and it's one of the wealthiest addresses in the country. neighbourhoods Herzliya Pituach real estate Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://herzliya.org/herzliya-pituach-neighbourhood-guide/ https://herzliya.org/herzliya-restaurants-where-to-eat/ Herzliya eats in two places. At lunchtime on weekdays, the tech workers of Herzliya Pituach fill the restaurants on Medinat HaYehudim, Shenkar and HaMenofim streets, where business lunch deals are the norm. In the evening and at weekends, the crowd moves west to the marina and the cliff-top seafront. restaurants Herzliya Pituach marina Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://herzliya.org/herzliya-restaurants-where-to-eat/ https://herzliya.org/herzliya-vs-raanana-vs-kfar-saba-families/ Three cities in the Sharon, all within half an hour of Tel Aviv, all popular with families, and all expensive. Herzliya, Ra'anana and Kfar Saba often end up on the same shortlist, especially for people moving from abroad.

The British built it as an RAF station. In 1948, during Israel's War of Independence, the first squadron of the new Israeli Air Force flew from it for three months.

Diplomats live in the villas of Herzliya Pituach. Engineers transfer in to the R&D centres of Microsoft, Apple and dozens of smaller firms. Students come for Reichman University's English-language degrees. And a steady stream of immigrants from English-speaking countries chooses it over the more obvious Anglo towns inland. relocation practical education real estate Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://herzliya.org/relocating-to-herzliya-expats-diplomats-tech-workers/ https://herzliya.org/things-to-do-in-herzliya-museums-park/ Most visitors see two parts of Herzliya: the seafront hotels and the Crusader ruins at Apollonia. Fair enough. But the city has a few more places worth an hour or an afternoon, and most of them are away from the seafront, where tourists rarely go. things to do museums practical Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://herzliya.org/things-to-do-in-herzliya-museums-park/ https://herzliya.org/where-to-stay-in-herzliya-hotels/ Almost every hotel in Herzliya is in Herzliya Pituach, the western part of the city between Highway 2 and the sea. That's handy, because it puts you close to the beaches, the marina and the business district at once. It also means the real choice isn't which neighbourhood but which of three settings: the cliff-top beachfront, the marina, or the office district a few hundred metres inland. hotels Herzliya Pituach marina practical Wed, 21 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://herzliya.org/where-to-stay-in-herzliya-hotels/
