Ashdod Travelers guide

Heart of the city 97 The route in the heart of the bustling city crosses its municipal and cultural center, passes by a few of its prominent symbols, continues to the museum that is considered one of a kind in the world and the city's flagship project, which offers a variety of attractions for all types of visitor, and ends at the Marina, which is one of the largest and most beautiful in Israel. The first stop on the tour, Ilan Ramon Square , is located on Menachem Begin Boulevard - the city's main transportation artery, which stretches from Ad Halom intersection in the east, the southern entrance to Ashdod, to the Blue Marina in the west. The city's residents mostly identify the square by its former name : " City Square ", or by its nickname "The Kirya Square", "Needle Square" or "Point Square", and not by its official name, given to it in 2010 to commemorate the Israeli astronaut who died in the Columbia space shuttle disaster in 2003. The square, which was designed by architect Yoram Miller and is located on the only mini- tunnel in the city, is one of the most expensive projects built in Ashdod in the 1990s. On your way to the square, you will be able to see a silver cone, which resembles an obelisk, standing prominently at its center. 6 Park Ashdod-Yam 7 The Blue Marina 4 5 TheCorinneMamane MuseumofPhilistine Culture 3 The Monart Art Center The Zimmer Center parking lot on Haklita Street, or on adjacent streets "Afikim" bus company routes 4, 8, 23, 28, 74, 76, 325, or 333 The Square does not have handicapped access.
