  • Jerusalem is holy to Jews, Christians and Muslims and you'll find their holiest sites in and around the Old City. Jewish and Christian sites are open to all--just be sure to dress modestly--but the main Muslim holy sites are closed to non-Muslims. Check the calendar before you visit--on the three Jewish pilgrimage festivals of Sukkot, Passover and Shavuot, the Jewish holy places are jammed, and at Easter and Christmas, the Christian sites are likewise overrun with pilgrims. Churches, mosques and synagogues from every period of history as well as cemeteries from all three religions are scattered throughout the city. Most of the interesting historic churches and Christian tombs are concentrated in the Old City, the Mount of Olives and the Kidron Valley. Muslim holy sites are in the Old City and ancient Jewish holy places are in the Old City and the Mount of Olives. Contemporary Jewish sites, such as 19th and 20th-century synagogues still in use, are to be found in the older neighborhoods of Jerusalem such as Meah Shearim and the Bukharan Quarter.
