The largest city in northern Israel, Haifa is an attractive seaport and one of the most culturally mixed and cosmopolitan cities in the country. The Israeli saying 'Haifa works, Jerusalem prays, Tel Aviv plays' gestures toward the city's blue-collar roots - however, in the 1950s a concerted effort was made to make Haifa more culturally sophisticated, with the Haifa Theatre, the Krieger Centre for Performing Arts and the Ein Hod artists' colony being established. Haifa also hosts an annual (and well-attended) International Film Festival, and the Haifa Rock and Blues Festival, which has attracted performers of genuine calibre over the years (such as Bob Dylan, Nick Cave and PJ Harvey, to name a few). The majority of visitors to Haifa go there for the amazing gardens of the Baha'í World Centre (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), although there are numerous other excellent sights in Haifa, including a wealth of museums, gorgeous temples and mosques, and sunny, child-friendly beaches. For those fascinated with biblical history, Tel Megiddo ('Armageddon' in Ancient Greek) - the supposed site of the end of the world - is located about 20 miles (32km) southwest of Haifa.
