Jerusalem - The Holy City: Everything You Need to Know When Traveling to Jerusalem
What to do, where to eat and how to get around the holiest city in Israel.

Before You Go
Before setting out, gird your loins. Jerusalem sits high up in the Judean hills, on the edge of the desert. Summer days are hot but not humid, and at sunset the temps can drop to the chilly sweater/sweatshirt range. Good walking shoes and sun block are essential, as is a bottle of water. In the winter, it is best to wear layers; while it does occasionally snow, you are more likely to unseasonably bake in a strong winter sun. If it rains, it rains hard, so pack a hard-shell jacket in winter. If you’re thinking of visiting any of the holy sites, be prepared to throw on a long-sleeve top and pants or a long skirt, as some of them require this for the sake of modesty and respect to the religious populations.
