Jerusalem
is a huge city with several district articles containing sightseeing,
restaurant, nightlife and accommodation listings

Jerusalem
(Hebrew: ירושלים Yerushalayim, Arabic: القدسal-Quds) is the
capital and largest city of Israel, even though it is not universally
recognized as Israel's capital (most countries maintaining embassies in Israel
keep them in nearby Tel Aviv}. It is a holy city to three religions (Judaism,
Christianity, and Islam), and one of the oldest cities in the world. The City
of Gold, as it has come to be known in Hebrew, is a fascinatingly unique place
where the first century rubs shoulders with the twenty-first century, each
jostling for legitimacy and space, and where picturesque "old"
neighborhoods nestle against glistening office towers and high-rise apartments.
It is one of those places which has to be seen to be believed.
[edit]Districts
Jerusalem
is a big place, and can be divided up into a few districts.
The
Old City and its Walls form a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This tiny ancient
city is home to holy sites for Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and is truly
breathtaking.
West
Jerusalem is the undisputably Jewish-Israeli part of Jerusalem, also known as
New Jerusalem; it is the modern commercial heart of the city, having become the
focus for development in the capital from the time of the creation of the State
of Israel in 1948 until the Six Day War in 1967.
East
Jerusalem is, roughly, the Eastern side of Jerusalem, and is made of territory
acquired by Israel during the Six Day war of 1967. It is home to nearly 200,000
Jews and is also home to most of Jerusalem's Muslim and Christian populations
of approximately 250,000.
Me'a
Shearim is the area of Jerusalem inhabited largely by ultra-Orthodox Jewish
people, modest dress is required. The area looks like an old Polish town from
1800.
The
German Colony is a West Jerusalem neighborhood south-east of the city center.
It's a wonderful place to drink coffee and to eat in restaurants. You may hear
more "Anglos" speaking English than Hebrew on these streets.
Ein
Kerem is a (relatively) secluded neighborhood in West Jerusalem that maintains
village atmosphere. It is surrounded by picturesque hills dotted with olive and
cypress trees, home to artists and sculptors who have opened numerous
galleries. Several churches are built on the site believed to be the birthplace
of John the Baptist. Before 1948, the site was an Arab village called 'Ayn
Karim and before that, the Jewish village of Beit HaKerem.
