Known for its diverse dining, nightlife, shopping, and bars, the City Center of Jerusalem is a great choice if you want to be in the heart of the city. This neighborhood puts you close to all the major sights, including the Old City, the Mahane Yehuda Market, and the historic Mamilla shopping avenue. You’ll find everything you need right at your doorstep, and it’s easy to get everywhere by walking in this lively, bustling neighborhood. Don’t miss the famous Tmol Shilshom café, where generations of Israeli artists and intellectuals have debated the issues of the day over a hearty breakfast. This area is a great choice for those seeking a bit more action in an ideal location. Many consider Jerusalem the holiest city on earth; as such, many religious Jews make their home here, and you should remember that many shops and markets are closed on Saturday in order to observe the Sabbath.
