There will be tours led by local celebrities showing their favorite spots in the city, including a tour led by fashion presenter Dafna Lustig about her favorite shops in Shuk Hapishpushim and another by veteran Israeli artist Danny Caravan to his installation in HaTarbut Square.
There will also be trivia tours, tours focusing on the Hebrew language, tours about community organizing in the Hatikva neighborhood, tours of the digging process for the under-construction light rail, a tour of the secret hallways in Ichilov Hospital, tours of historical sites, and, of course, more than one culinary tour.
