Jerusalem - The City of Peace

Filed under: Israel — Tags: — Adam @ 3:43 pm

Jerusalem is not only an archaeologists dream luxury holiday but has many attractions and sites, too many to list here but we will run through a few of them.

For the sightseers, one trip not to be missed is the Hass Promenade at the top of the hills of East Talpiot, from where you can see the entire landscape of Jerusalem and the skyline of the new city.  Jerusalem is also known as ‘the City of Peace’ and is one of the holiest, and oldest, cities in the world.

The old town, as you might expect, is a mass of white stone across hilltops and the old city is walled in the centre.  It was founded over 5,000 years ago and was made famous by its tumultuous past from the rule of King David 3,000 years ago and the presence of Jesus 2,000 years ago.

Over the years, many races have fought over this city.  You can see relics from its history in the Rockefeller Museum or the Israel Museum.

Yet its centre has a more cosmopolitan feel to it now with the outdoor market and the dance club culture of Talpiot.

Within the city walls is a great place to wander and at night, the city is lit by floodlights.
