Tourism in Herzliya
Herzliya (population 88,734 in 2011) is divided into two areas by the major highways and train line that go through it. To the east of the roads lies Herzliya, the city proper, which is sometimes referred to as “the city” by residents. This is largely a residential neighbourhood that doesn’t attract many visitors, but travelers looking to step off the beaten road and observe true Israeli urban life may find it extremely intriguing. To the west of the motorways, directly on the shore, is an upmarket enclave known as Herzliya Pituach, which is home to several beachfront hotels and wealthy apartments. This is a large industrial and commercial district, with numerous high-tech businesses, nice beaches, superb restaurants, and bustling nightclubs, and the majority of visitors to the city stay in this region. Ben Gurion Boulevard is the major thoroughfare.
