About
Independence Hall stands at 16 Rothschild Boulevard in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel. It is the historic building where Israel's Declaration of Independence was signed in 1948, and it is also known as Beit Dizengoff or the Museum of the Declaration of Independence.
What you will find
The building is now a museum. Visitors can see the original hall where the declaration was signed and view documents from the founding of the state. The visit is largely about that single moment and the papers that record it, so it suits anyone interested in Israel's history and the events around 1948.
Planning your visit
- Address: 16 Rothschild Blvd, Tel Aviv-Yafo, 6511301, Israel
- Phone: +972-3-517-3942, useful for checking details before you go
- Setting: Rothschild Boulevard, one of the city's best-known streets, lined with early twentieth-century buildings
Because the museum is small and focused, it works well as part of a half-day in central Tel Aviv. You can combine it with a walk along Rothschild Boulevard and the nearby streets, which give a sense of the city's older neighborhoods and its modern life.
