It is an extremely busy and pricey street and a huge tourist attraction, both due to historical significance and architecturally fascinating buildings.
The original name of Rothschild Boulevard was Rehov HaAm (translates to mean "Street of the people") and was changed at the request of the residents, to honor Baron Edmond James de Rothschild.
