Jerusalem is fascinating, but which Jerusalem? Do you mean the Old City? That is the site of all the New Testament references to Jerusalem, where Jesus spent the final period of his life. But there is also the fascinating City of David, a short way from the Old City. There you can walk through Hezekiah’s tunnel, with water up to your knees, for about 30-40 minutes. You have to carry a candle (on sale there) or a torch. There is also East Jerusalem, that is the Arabic part of the city. I found that prices in the Palestinian neighbourhoods were quite a bit cheaper than the rest of Jerusalem. I found the Israel Musem very interesting, too. Again expensive at 38 shekels, so make sure you spend enough time there to justify the expense. The Bible Lands Museum is also right next to it, if you’re interesting in archeology, history or the Bible. Yad Vashem is a holocaust Museum in Jerusalem and it is also worth seeing. Lots of information about the Nazi policy towards Jews, the Warsaw Ghetto, etc. It’s horrifying but it’s the truth. Go and see it.
