The Old City offers a rich cultural life, as well as entertainment and pleasure day and night - visiting amidst the colorful spices in the market, the aroma of knafeh and fresh hummus, watching festivals and nocturnal performances in quaint hidden locations, musical and theatrical tours as well as spectacular light and sound displays. An experience such as this can only be found in Jerusalem.

Make sure to set aside a few hours to stroll around each of its four quarters – the Jewish Quarter, Christian Quarter, Muslim Quarter and Armenian Quarter. You’ll be astounded by the varying structures, religious attire, stories and people.
