Jerusalem and around
          

what to do ?

    For all the religious related sites in Jerusalem I don't bother as I am
    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

    Herzel Museum which is a great experience and makes you really
    understand how unbelievable the Israel State story is.

    Also I recommend a visit the Nahlaot picturesque neighbourhood   
    and to Mahane Yehuda market for the taste and smell.

    I recommend a great experience for the children and the whole family
    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 Jerusalem biblical zoo is also very recommended
    great for the kids and animal lovers

    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

    where to sleep ?

    The Jerusalem Hostel - Located in the center of Jerusalem on Jaffa
    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.

    YMCA Three Arches Hotel - Centrally located just opposite the
    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 .

    St. Charles Convent

    Pleasant accommodation for visiting Jerusalem. This old german
    monastery is located in the beautiful German colony neighbourhood
    a picturesque and also central location, and in walking distance from
    the old city and short bus to the centre of Jerusalem. The rooms are
    spacious with high ceiling and the nuns are very friendly. The
    breakfast is also very nice. I have been there just now (December
    2010) and enjoyed my stay very much

    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.

    simple accommodation inside the walls of the old monastery. -

    The Natural House in Ein Kerem a very beautiful guest house.

    Shoresh  a pleasant out of town resort only 15 minutes from

    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
