Virtual tour: A visit to the city of firsts: Rishon Le-Zion (First to Zion) is a city in Israel, located along the central Israeli coastal plain eight kilometres (5 mi) south of Tel Aviv.

Founded in 1882 by Jewish immigrants from the Russian Empire who were part of the First Aliyah, it was the second Jewish farm settlement established in Ottoman Syria in the 19th century, after Petah Tikva.

We will see the old city and will visit in the museum of the Hebrew language.
