Interesting places in the Down Town area and in Bat Galim
Two Templar families arrived in Haifa in 1868 and established a German agricultural colony here, which stood out particularly on account of its great beauty. Very quickly, it turned into a flourishing neighborhood, which contributed considerably to the development of the city.
The colony underwent renovation and reconstruction work with the opening of new coffee houses, as well as restaurants and a new shopping center. Together with the Bahai Gardens, the German Colony produces an unbroken and splendiferous view, from the Carmel Ridge to the Mediterranean Sea.

Wadi Nisnas
This is the name of the area below the Haifa Museum, in which the Jews and Arabs who live here co-operate and practise good neighborliness. Fragrances with an Oriental flavour waft up from the narrow alleyways of the Wadi, enticing you to taste the many and varied foods on offer in the spice stalls and small restaurants.
Once a year, in December, the Wadi puts on the ‘Festival of festivals’ festival, with the participation of all three religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
A tour of the Down Town area of the city takes you to Haifa as it once was.
A variety of architectural styles, churches, mosques, very beautiful stone houses from Templar times and Turkish haanim (guest houses), some of which serve today as very colourful shops. A true harbor atmosphere.
If you continue through the Wadi along the sidewalks of Ha Atzmaut Rd, you will find the colourful Sailors Market Stalls scattered about, offering their merchandize, just as you would in a real harbor
Address: the streets of Horei Yohanan ha Kadosh and the surrounding lanes and alley-ways.
