Clothing should be comfortable and appropriate for the weather. Comfortable walking shoes are especially important, as many walking routes may include uneven or historic stone surfaces.
When visiting religious pilgrimage sites, visitors’ clothing must strictly comply with local dress requirements. Head coverings should not be neglected.
Please make sure to bring drinking water with you.
Gastronomic tours and culinary tourism have long ceased to be reserved only for connoisseurs of fine dining. They have moved far beyond Michelin-starred restaurants to the colorful markets of cities around the world. This form of travel and leisure has also become increasingly popular in Israel.
Indeed, to truly discover this remarkable country, one must “taste” it — and the flavor of this land is reflected in its cuisine, which mirrors the character, traditions, and spirit of Israeli society.
The excursion begins at the historic market square, where the story of the market itself first started. Here we will learn about the fascinating and often difficult life of the man after whom it is now named — Valero Square.
The intoxicating aromas of spices and seasonings become the perfect accompaniment to the legends, stories, and atmosphere of this extraordinary place.
After visiting the market, participants continue their journey through Nahlaot, one of the first neighborhoods built outside the walls of Jerusalem.
Walking through the narrow streets of Nahlaot, visitors encounter countless small and large wonders of traditional Jewish neighborhood life, each corner revealing its own unique charm and history.
