Jerusalem the holy city
sure you will find lots of information on the web and in guides. However I enclose a website with a good presentation of Jerusalem I also enclose a link to the website of Jerusalem municipality where you can see the main attractions and find a nice map. A better and more detailed map you can find in the atlas website Mapot.com An interesting new landmark is the Supreme Court for its interesting architecture see my photo gallery
understand how unbelievable the Israel State story is. Also I recommend a visit the Nahlaot picturesque neighbourhood (see photo gallery) and to Mahane Yehuda market for the taste and smell. Rachmo Restaurant on Nahalat Shiva pedestrian sidewalk that serves wonderful homemade style Mediterranean dishes. I have no exact address or telephone but it is quite noticeable and has tables outside too so you can't miss it. See the new blog entry about the Free Tour of Jerusalem. See the photo gallery of Jerusalem in the eyes of my friend from Holland who spent a few days in the Old City
is the Time Elevator it is fun and educative too. Ein Carem a beautiful picturesque neighbourhood of Jerusalem - my favorite - it has a nice restaurants and beautiful churches and monasteries - on Saturday you can enjoy classical concerts in the Music Center of Ein Carem. The biblical zoo is also very recommended – great for the kids The Science Museum is a great experience for kids. It is educative and fun. Interactive and entertaining. Mini Israel - A new attraction - It is a miniature of Israel including all the major sights in the country. Israel Museum in Jerusalem - Greatest museum in Israel where you can see archeology and art. The Shrine of the Book is one of the major attractions. The museum has a special youth wing where children can enjoy fun activities. This summer the Israel Museum celebrates it's 40th Anniversary and there are many festivals and activities check the program for special events or check by phone 972 2 6708811
Jerusalem
road if you don't want to spend much on accommodation and have a central location this is the place for you. Nice and friendly hostel has a roof of course ... The Austrian Hospice on Via Dolorosa in the Old City seems a very interesting accommodation - it has a roof that has a spectacular view - I have not been there yet but plan to stay there when I will have the opportunity.
famous King David Hotel in an old stone building that goes back to the time the Brits ruled here and the atmosphere is still very much like in a British colony - it has a heated indoors swimming pool . Notre Dame de Zion Monastery - A monastery that offers simple accommodation inside the walls of the old monastery. - located in Ein Carem – the beautiful picturesque village near Jerusalem – very quiet simple and modest rooms and a lovely garden - breakfast served by the nuns -Reservations between 9-12 tel 02-6415738 The Natural House in Ein Kerem a very beautiful guest house. Shoresh a pleasant out of town resort only 15 minutes from Jerusalem I have been there this weekend (August 2005) and I recommend the green hills cottage units which are new and have a nice balcony and view. Yad Hashmona guest house this is a lovely place to stay in the village Yad Hashmona near Jerusalem it is a little village built by people that came all the way from Finland and it has a finish atmosphere: FAROUT (sof haderech in Hebrew :-) ) St. Andrew Scottish Guest house - I have been there in August 2006 and it was indeed a very unique and beautiful accommodation very appropriate to inhale the holy atmosphere of Jerusalem. The location is very central and it has a nice roof with a panoramic view. |
