Overview
Discover Bethlehem and Jerusalem on this full-day guided tour and learn its history through its top sites (and hidden ones too): the Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, the Temple Mount where Solomon’s Temple once stood, Garden of Gethsemane, Kidron Valley, Zion Gate, the Western Wall, Church of the Nativity where Jesus was born and many more. Your day begins at the Mount of Olives with a breathtaking panoramic view over Jerusalem, then to the Byzantine Cardo, an ancient main road that runs through the Jewish Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. You take a look at the Wailing Wall (Kotel) and then follow the sacred route Jesus took carrying his cross along the Way of Sorrows (Via Dolorosa). Learn about the Byzantine church, what is known as the new city, Yad Vashem, and the Holocaust Museum before departing Jerusalem and making your way to Bethlehem. In Bethlehem, your main focus is the Church of the Nativity where Jesus was born. From Manger Square, you'll visit the 4th century Church of Nativity, known as the oldest church in Israel still in use. Beneath the church is the Grotto of the Nativity, where a star indicates the place where Jesus was born. Also in the Orthodox Church is an altar dedicated to the Three Wise Men completing an enchanting day.
