The city of Tel Aviv, which forms the Gush Dan agglomeration together with its ring neighborhoods, is home to 45% of the Israeli population and is the cultural and economic center of the country. Despite not being the capital, as some erroneously assume, Tel Aviv played an important role in the history of Israel, and it was in Tel Aviv that the Israeli independence was officially proclaimed on 14 May 1948. The Tel Aviv of today, despite being slightly over 110 years old, is a vibrant and thriving Mediterranean megapolis, known for its nightlife, long beaches and promenades, high-end restaurants, and numerous museums.
Sometimes tourists erroneously assume that all the historical landmarks are in Jerusalem, while in Tel Aviv there is nothing to do save for the sea. Yet, nothing could be farther from the truth! Downtown Tel Aviv, known as the White City, is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site being the world's largest collection of Bauhaus architecture, and while Tel Aviv proper is still a young city, nowadays it forms the same municipality with Jaffa: one of the oldest continuously inhabited places on Earth and the world's oldest port still in use, mentioned in the Bible. Jaffa today is the de facto old city of Tel Aviv.
