Jerusalem is the cradle of three great monotheistic religions and an absolute must-see during a trip to Israel. There is history and modernity on the corner of every street but don't forget to let yourself fall under the town's spell.
Everytime I go to Jerusalem I climb the Mount of Olives before the end of the afternoon in order to watch the sun set over the old town while the mosques call the faithful to prayer and the church bells ring. It's magic.
Constructed from a mosaic of different quarters, each with a strong identity, Jerusalem also houses the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Dome of the Rock: three holy monuments for each of the three monotheistic religions.
Once you have decided the dates of your trip to Israel, book a room in the old town so you can immerse yourself as much as possible in its unique spiritual atmosphere.
