Less Familiar Viewpoints in Haifa

But, this time, I decided to do something different. Instead of going to well-known places, I looked for new ones. So I sat down with Google maps and street view and started searching. After about an hour, I found two potential places.

Last Friday, I visited those places and will share the result with you.

Ha-Galil Street

The first place was at Ha-Galil Street 118, Haifa. You can see the industrial zone and the Check Post area from this viewpoint. Here are several photos from there:

Yad LaBanim Road

The second viewpoint was: Yad LaBanim Road 97, Haifa.

I wanted to try Yad LaBanim Road because it is on the mountain’s edge, allowing us to see both the downtown and the industrial zone.

This is not a viewpoint but a part of the street. I walked from Yad LaBanim Road 97 to Yad LaBanim Road 210 to get the following photos:

As you can see, it can be pretty frustrating since, in most places, the view is behind the buildings.

So sometimes you can get a peek of what is in between, like I did in this shot of Haifa port:

And sometimes, you can incorporate the buildings as a foreground element:

Here are several additional photos from that section of the street:

I hope you liked these photos and they were of help to you. What are your favorite viewpoints in Haifa? Tell us in the comments below.
