Holonחולון
Spend a half‑day in Holon for its design, children and comic museums; add a quick water‑park visit if you have extra time.
Holon is a compact suburb of Tel Aviv with several niche museums, a year‑round water park and a central park. All attractions lie within a 2‑km radius, so a half‑day covers the highlights; overnight stays are best in nearby Tel Aviv or Bat Yam.
