Would you visit a nature park like Ramat Hanadiv on your next trip?

The German travel guide Worth a Journey ranked Ramat Hanadiv 63rd on its 2026 list of the world's 100 best parks. Tel Aviv's Hayarkon Park placed 67th on the same list.

Why it matters

The ranking gives international travelers a third-party benchmark for Israeli green spaces and highlights the country's natural attractions alongside urban parks. It also draws attention to a park whose visitor base may extend well beyond the Zichron Ya'acov and Binyamina area where it sits.

The ranking is based on evaluation of more than one million sites using visitor volume, reviews, and physical inspections, and places Ramat Hanadiv 63rd and Hayarkon Park 67th out of 100. The source does not explain how each criterion was weighted in the final order.
