  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.

In an ancient Jerusalem stone house near Mahane Yehuda market is the much loved Hamotzi restaurant that serves authentic and comforting homemade food at affordable prices. Chef Avi Levy combines a North African cooking style with a Jerusalem flare to create a rich kaleidoscopic of flavors. Levy uses local ingredients from the nearby market.

“Chaotic place”

The food was ok, but service was terrible. Waiter brought the wrong dish to our table. And waitress had a such a bad attitude. The whole experience was just so bad. We will never go back there again.

“On a 3 day trip to Jerusalem. Our tour guide bought us here.”

We booked a table several weeks in advance and waited in anticipation. Already at the entrance we were exposed to the noise and unbearable volume of music. The whole evening could hardly be talked about due to the appalling noise. The dishes were delicious but not some of the best I have eaten in my life. In the end when we paid, they gave us a wrong excess and gave us back less than we should have received. Bottom line, I would not recommend or return there.
