Traveling in Jerusalem

Jerusalem: Something for everyone! Looking for a getaway where 3000 years of history juxtaposes modern life at practically every step? Jerusalem is your answer. Like many other historically rich - yet modern - destinations worldwide, such as London, Rome, Amsterdam, Moscow, Tokyo, Istanbul, Prague, and the like, the city of Jerusalem is outstanding for a vacation tour. For starters, Jerusalem's Jewish, Christian and Muslim history engages any tourist. Amidst the historical sites at every turn, the city of Jerusalem offers an array of attractions including all genres of culture, a vibrant yet calm nightlife, and cuisine the world over. There is no lack for things to do in Jerusalem. For example, did you know that Israel has the most museums per capita of any country in the world? And of those, sixty museums are in Jerusalem alone – in fact, CNN included four of Jerusalem's museums on its Top 10 Israel Museums of 2013. Where to stay in Jerusalem? Considering the abundance of quality hotels in Jerusalem, you have a vast range of accomodation from luxury hotels such as the King David Hotel and the Inbal, to hostels like the Abraham Hostel Jerusalem Bar & Lounge. If you prefer a bit of country atmosphere, you have choices such as Maale Hachamisha, a resort area just 15 minutes from the entrance to Jerusalem. Jerusalem tours include the Old City, the Machane Yehuda market, cultural venues, recreational parks, and of course, shopping - be it the well established Ben Yehuda pedestrian mall, or the newer, upscale Mamilla Mall. And Jerusalem is like a college town in terms of getting around – it's so easy! Many popular outings and hotels in Jerusalem are within the center city & Old City walking radius. Other transportation options are the new Jerusalem Light Rail, frequent Egged buses, or 24/7 taxi cab service. For Jerusalem tours, you have hundreds of tour guides at your fingertips, all highly qualified after a national two-year rigorous training course. You can also take advantage of creative tour options such as Jerusalem bike tours and even Segway tours. In particular, Jerusalem is bustling on Fridays, as it's the first day of the weekend in Jerusalem, the storm before the calm of the Sabbath (or Shabbat, as it's known in Hebrew). Additionally, Jerusalem serves as a good base for other popular Israel tours, with quick access, for example, to the renowned Dead Sea and Masada, a Judean Hills half-day hike, or a wine tour in Samaria, all of which are less than an hour away. Even Tel Aviv is just 40 minutes away from Jerusalem, so a Tel Aviv day trip is easy to plan from Jerusalem. Whatever you're looking for, iTravelJerusalem is your guide for Jerusalem tours.
