Jerusalem is a completely unique city due to its importance to a huge number of people around the world. The fact that the city is the cradle of three major monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity and Islam - makes Jerusalem attractive to half the world's population. No other city on the planet can compare to it, because only Jerusalem has such a rich spiritual and historical attraction. Not surprisingly, millions of people come to Jerusalem every year. And yet, surprisingly, Jerusalem is also a place of entertainment, creating a unique atmosphere of a meaningful, interesting vacation, which you will not find anywhere else.

  • Old Town

    The intricate labyrinth, located in a small square - the three-thousand-year-old Old City of Jerusalem - was originally a city built by order of King David. The holy city was home to two Jewish Temples, the site of Jesus' preaching and meeting with his disciples, and the site of the ascension of the Prophet Muhammad to heaven. The four quarters of the Old City (Jewish, Christian, Muslim and Armenian) are the cornerstones of any tour of Jerusalem: stroll through the narrow streets of the quarters and enter the old bridges, synagogues, churches and mosques. You will learn the wisdom of the ancients by visiting various museums, such as the Tower of David Museum. Key places to visit are the Western Wall ("Wailing Wall"), the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the Temple Mount with the Dome of the Rock. At the same time, the Old Town also offers a wide range of cozy bars and restaurants, as well as night entertainment: from live music to light shows and festivals for people of all ages throughout the year.

  • Entertainment and Restaurants

    Both local and international cultural trends have taken root in Jerusalem, and this determines the offer of entertainment and restaurants in the city. Entertainment options range from orchestra and theater to dance and cinema - you have a wide choice at any time of the year, especially during annual festivals such as the Israel Spring Festival and the Jerusalem Summer Film Festival. And when it comes to food: you just choose and get your order on numerous trays, where you will be offered falafel or even first-class steak or sushi - the choice of dishes is endless.

  • Weather in Juresalem

    In Jerusalem, long, warm and dry summers (May to September) and cool winters (November to March). Sometimes there is a sharp change in weather conditions, but we can usually talk about a certain constancy of the onset of spring in April, and a soft, "velvet" season - in October. At an altitude of 809 meters above sea level, as well as in most of the desert Judean hills, the air temperature in Jerusalem is usually colder and drier than in Tel Aviv.

    The summer months, as a rule, do without heavy rains with average daily air temperatures between 20-30 ° C, with a stable increase in temperature in the hot months - July and August. During the peak of solar activity, as well as during dust storms (also called "sharav" or "hamsin"), it is better for you to stay in an air-conditioned room. But if you still need to go outside, pay attention to safety requirements: wear a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen and drink plenty of water.

  • Transport in Juresalem

    The old city of Jerusalem is not suitable for traffic, but it is very convenient for walking, so if there is only enough time for it, public transport will not be needed. The rest of the city is very well served by buses and a new tram line. Taxis (although quite expensive) can be taken any distance almost anywhere. If the area of interest is limited only to Jerusalem and the surrounding area, then rent a car is not worth it. However, it can be useful for trips to remote places.

5 things to do in Jerusalem

1. Ask for the most intimate: leave a note in the Wailing Wall.

2. To walk the way of Christ: to repeat the Way of the Savior on the Via Dolorosa from Lyphostroton (place of interrogation) to Kuvuklia (place of Ascension) in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher

3. Think about life: in the Garden of Gethsemane to stand under the same olive tree where Christ met Judas. Feel like a Middle Eastern merchant: releasing the brakes, desperately bargaining at the Mahane Yehuda market for every nut, cake or magnet.

4. Get lost and find: leaving a map in the hotel, delve into the maze of medieval alleys in the Old Town.

5. Discover your "golden city under the blue sky": at sunset, climb the Mount of Olives and look at Jerusalem with the glowing Dome of the Rock.

Where to stay in Jerusalem

Pay attention to the location of housing. The Old City is home to the main attractions that most people follow to Jerusalem. Living there, you do not have to spend time on the way to them. The most comfortable and safe to live in is the Christian Quarter of the Old Town.

Lovers of fashionable architecture, as well as gardens, parks and museums will enjoy living outside the Old City, in the modern part of Jerusalem. Although the city as a whole is safe for tourists, for the first acquaintance with it it is not necessary to choose Arab quarters and areas of residence of orthodox Jews.
