  City Center
  Downtown Jerusalem is the heart of the modern metropolis, with nightlife, dining and culture to rival any major city. The area is made up of several neighborhoods, including the colorful Mahane Yehuda Market, charming Nahalat Shiva, bustling Ben Yehuda and Yafo Streets. Each has its own unique personality and atmosphere that you won’t want to miss out on.
  
  South
  South Jerusalem is an up-and-coming area that has seen the development of numerous attractions in recent years, including the state-of-the-art Jerusalem Payis Arena, which hosts some of the biggest international musical acts and sporting events. It joins places like Emek Refaim Street, Malha Mall, the Biblical Zoo, Teddy Stadium, Gazelle Valley and Ramat Rachel tourism complex in making up an area that is particularly popular with families.
  
  West Jerusalem
  West Jerusalem includes some of Jerusalem’s most charming neighborhoods and interesting attractions. Head to the picturesque Ein Karem at the foot of the Jerusalem Hills for a day of nature, quaint shops and elegant dining with a view. And for an unbeatable cultural experience, check out the Museum District, home to the world-class Israel Museum, the Bible Lands Museum, Science Museum and much more.
  
  Old City
  The Old City of Jerusalem has been a center of culture, religion and history for thousands of years, from the time of the Judean kings and the Roman era through the times of the Islamic Empire to the modern State of Israel. Every brick and stone is teeming with history. No trip to the Middle East is complete without wandering through alleys of the bazaar, walking the ramparts and exploring the Old City’s rich history at the Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Temple Mount (Al-Aqsa) or Tower of David Museum.
  
  NEAR OLD CITY
  Not far from the Old City, you can find some of Jerusalem’s most vibrant entertainment and shopping centers. Mamilla Mall is just a few steps from Jaffa Gate and counts as one of the most luxurious shopping centers in the city, replete with high-end shops, Mamilla Hotel’s Akasha Spa and a collection of restaurants with amazing views. And if you follow Hebron Road, you’ll find the First Station cultural complex and the Yes Planet movie theater and entertainment center.

“Bad service and worse food”

Reviewed on July 13, 2020By LouvoisJerusalem

Service was awful. We were four. One received the main course while we were still waiting for the mezzes. Then we received our main course and the mezzes had not yet arrived. The dish three of us had chosen was so inedible that we did not touch it. A very unpleasant experience.

“Very difficult access at night, very average food and service”

Came here on a Saturday evening at end of February. The car park was unlit and unpaved and muddy. The waiter seemed uninterested in us even though the place wasn't crowded. My crispy fish was more crisp than fish. We all had generous serves but only the soup and salads seemed worth the money....

I know from past experience that during the day this is a pretty location but not at night.

“Delightful”

I was very pleased with lunch at the dairy restaurant Café Caffit in the Botanical Gardens of Jerusalem. The café has both indoor (air conditioned) and umbrella-shaded outdoor seating. Outdoor is better as it overlooks a big fish pond with huge lilies. Service was fast and friendly. Lunch was appetizing and nicely served.
