Home to important religious sites such as the Western Wall, Temple Mount, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem has become an epicenter for spiritual pilgrimages. Although primarily known for its religious significance, Jerusalem is also home to a plethora of cultural venues and a thriving arts scene. Whether visiting Jerusalem, Israel to capture a piece of history, eat falafel, climb Mount Zion or hit the downtown club scene, there is something fun and intriguing here for every traveler.
Some of the finest hotels in the world can be found here, from 5 star palaces to budget-friendly hostels, Jerusalem hospitality is top-notch. The restaurant scene and selection is just as copious as the hotels. Being a multicultural city, Jerusalem offers a wide selection of international cuisine.
