The Best of NileGuide
- Jerusalem's major attractions are among the most famous places in the world--the Western Wall, the Via Dolorosa, the Mount of Olives--all make our top 10. Each one of these major attractions has a deeper side--if you have time, try to get to the Western Wall Tunnels, where you'll be walking underneath the retaining Western Wall of the Temple Mount to see what an incredible engineering job King Herod accomplished thousands of years ago. At the Via Dolorosa, don't just stop at the stations of the Cross--stop in at some of the extraordinary places that have grown up alongside the winding pathway from Lions Gate to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre--the Austrian Hospice and Abu Shukri restaurant would be two at the top of the list. At the mount of Olives, wander through some of the ancient Jewish gravestones as well as walking along the path that links some of the world's most famous churches and ends at the Garden of Gethsemane. Outside of the Old City, the major attractions that make our list are the colorful Machane Yehuda market, where visitors can mingle with Jerusalem shoppers and marvel at the array of home-grown produce and local products. Some of the city's best cafes and restaurants are dotted through the market too. The most important Holocaust History Museum in the world is in Jerusalem--Yad Vashem lies on the western side of the city and will give you a picture of the vast scope of Jewish life in Europe before the Holocaust, as well as a documented history of the events that led up to the Final Solution and the destruction of six million Jews. Don't miss the Tisch Biblical Zoo in the southern end of Jerusalem, where animals that walked the earth in Biblical times roam around the well-kept open park-like zoo.
