Jerusalem Travel Guide | The Saddest Wall Will Bring You to Tears

| The Saddest Wall Will Bring You to Tears Last October, I visited Jerusalem during a local holiday in Israel. The ancient city was crowded with people, but it still exuded its unique historical and religious charm. We took a train from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and then took a bus to the city center. 🏨Accommodation Recommendations We stayed at the Ibis Hotel in the city center, located on a pedestrian street with frequent street performances, giving it a lively atmosphere. Although it was bustling, it became quiet around 10 pm, making it perfect for rest. ❤Itinerary Day 1 Afternoon: Explore the Old City 🕍 Western Wall: Every stone is filled with a sense of history, and the praying people are deeply moving. ⛪ Church of the Holy Sepulchre: The center of religious faith. 🌅 Mount of Olives: Take a taxi to Mount of Olives in the evening to overlook the night view of Jerusalem, with a wide and breathtaking view. Day 2 Morning: National Museum ➔ Visit the West Bank 🎨 Israel Museum: Gain a deeper understanding of Jewish history and culture. 🔝 West Bank: Drive to the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem and experience the sacred atmosphere of Jesus' birthplace. Enter the West Bank through a narrow passage in the separation wall, where many taxi drivers gather. We chose a young local who spoke fluent English, hired a car for a tour, and listened to him talk about local life and the current situation. Afternoon: Return to Jerusalem and head to Jordan Cross the border from the central port of Jerusalem and smoothly head to Jordan, ending a compact but fulfilling trip. 📊Travel Tips ✅West Bank Access: It is recommended to check the latest safety and access policies in advance. ✅Car Hire Suggestions: Some taxi drivers have Palestinian permits, and you can book through the hotel for more efficient and hassle-free service. If you are not in a hurry, you can also hire a car directly in the West Bank and listen to local stories. ✅Historical Background Supplement: It is recommended to watch related documentaries or read books before departure to gain a deeper understanding of the city's history. ✨Travel Insights Jerusalem is like a living movie, and being there feels like traveling through time. It is difficult to capture its unique charm with a phone, especially when standing in front of the Western Wall, moved by the praying crowd. The shock that hits the heart is indescribable. It is a city worth savoring and even visiting multiple times.
