Dizengoff Center, Tel Aviv

"A city within a city”, perhaps this is the most fitting way to describe this large mall. Dizengoff Center, which was built on the grounds of the sheds and shacks neighborhood of Nordia, opened its gates in 1977, after about five years of construction. Dizengoff Center mall is situated on both sides of Dizengoff Street and its two sides are connected by bridges and underground passageways. It has more than 400 stores that are visited by thousands of people everyday. It is easy to find one’s way in it and one mostly walks from one level to another without needing to use the escalators. Every once in a while various activities and fairs take place here. One of the well-established fairs that take place in Dizengoff Center on a weekly basis, on Thursdays and Fridays, is the Food Market, which includes tens of stands that are filled with delicacies and every kind of aroma, that draw to them many visitors. In addition, Dizengoff Center includes cinemas and a small charming playground for children that is located on one of the passageways between the two parts of the mall.
