16 days in Jerusalem District Itinerary

Few places in the world boast such a long history and such a rich multiethnic culture as Jerusalem, a city sacred to Jews, Muslims, and Christians.

Shop till you drop at Mahane Yehuda Market and Baltinester Bros. Jewelry and Judaica. Get some cultural insight at Ben Yehuda Street and St. George's Monastery. Change things up with these side-trips from Jerusalem: Adulam Winery & Vinyards (in Givat Yeshayahu), Srigim Brewery (in Srigim) and Domaine du Castel Winery (in Ramat Raziel). There's lots more to do: explore the wealth of natural beauty at Herodyon National Park, pause for some photo ops at Ammunition Hill Memorial and Museum (Givat Ha-Tachmoshet), steep yourself in history at Jaffa Gate, and take an in-depth tour of The Friends of Zion Museum.
