| Tourism in Jerusalem |
Its is impossible to encompass the whole city in a short visit; Jerusalem encompasses many world renowned archaeological sites. Each building and stone reflects a history of its own as well as representing many cultures and religions. Jerusalem however is not just a journey back in time, it is a vibrant modern city, with lively shopping malls and cultural activities: music, theater and many significant museums. It contains entertainment opportunities, which are open daily. Pubs, restaurants, night clubs with an ambience of their own, some in recently renovated old quarters. The human element also brings with it a particular flavor, Jews, Arabs, religious and nonreligious, rabbis and priests, ecumenical students and yeshiva students, diplomats and tourists, government employees and art students, nuns and girls in mini skirts. One can sit in a "Ben Yehuda" cafe and enjoy a myriad of experiences just watching the passersby. |
