After Tel Aviv was nominated as one of the world’s top beach cities by National Geographic just a few weeks ago, it’s the turn of Jerusalem to hit the heights of the world’s best. One of the Internet’s leading travel sites, Trip Advisor, has voted Jerusalem one of the world’s Top 10 tourist destinations, specifically for culture and sightseeing.
The Holy City is a fantastic place to visit, and it’s great that a site like Trip Advisor, a free resource for many travelers looking for reviews, tips and suggestions, has given Jerusalem some well-deserved publicity. You can see Trip Advisor’s Top 10 here, and check out the cities below Jerusalem – Venice, Istanbul and the mighty London.
As they put it:
Religious pilgrims have been traveling to Jerusalem for centuries, yet you don’t have to share their zeal in order to appreciate this city’s profound cultural and historical significance. Plan on seeing the major sights, but also leave plenty of time to walk through the streets and simply immerse yourself in the daily life of such an ancient and revered place.
And their top 3 must see destinations within Jerusalem:
- The Western (Wailing Wall)
- Temple Mount
