Azrieli Observatory occupies the top floor of the tallest of the three towers that make up the Azrieli Center. Ride the elevator to the 49th floor of this 614-feet (187-meter) tall skyscraper to admire sweeping panoramas of Tel Aviv, its seashore and neighboring towns and cities. After enjoying the views at Azrieli Observatory, explore the shopping, dining and entertainment attractions at the complex’s mall.
Each floor of the circular tower that houses the observatory features 84 floor-to-ceiling windows. Look down on the heavily trafficked streets of the City Center and look west to see some of the skyscrapers that line Rothschild Boulevard. Spot the 782-feet (238-meter) tall Azrieli Sarona Tower, which is Tel Aviv’s tallest building. Avoid rainy and windy days, when the views can be obstructed by sand blown onto the windows.
To the west, the perfect-blue Mediterranean Sea sparkles in the bright sunshine. On exceptionally clear days it’s possible to see all the way to the coastal towns of Ashkelon and Hadera. Visit in the evening for the chance to observe a picturesque Mediterranean sunset. The hills and rooftops of Jerusalem are occasionally visible toward the southeast.
Reach the attraction by taking a train to the Tel Aviv-Hashalom station. Drivers can use the metered car park at the Azrieli Center. Shop at the outlets of popular fashion brands, dine at over 30 restaurants and watch movies at an eight-screen cinema at the Azrieli Mall. Children will have fun at Island Park, an adventure playground and waterpark located on the mall’s rooftop.
Azrieli Observatory is open daily and there’s an admission fee, with discounts available for children. Opening hours are shorter on Fridays and Saturdays. The attraction might be closed due to a private event so it’s worth calling ahead before visiting.
