ABOUT JERUSALEM
One of the oldest cities in the world, Jerusalem is cultural and spiritual center of the three monotheistic religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
King David built the first Jewish capital here, Jesus spent his last days in the city – commemorated today by many important churches and pilgrimage sites, and Muhammad ascended to heaven to meet with Allah here.
It is a truly unique and intense place where you can find anyone from pilgrims to liberal protesters, curious travelers, and everyday locals coexisting.

GOOD TO KNOW
Airport transfer
Flying into Tel Aviv is your best option to get to Jerusalem. There is a direct shuttle bus (number 485) that will take you from the arrivals terminal in Tel Aviv to the central bus station for 16 NIS.
Tipping
Tipping between 10-15% is the general practice in restaurants. Waiters will prefer this in cash so make sure you have some small change with you!
Safety
Jerusalem is generally safe for tourists, do keep an eye out for pickpockets in the Old City and Mount of Olives, though.
Public transportation
The Lite Rail Tram is the most convenient mode of transportation to travel to most areas of Jerusalem. With stops at the Central Bus Station, the Old City, and Yad Vashem, traveling around Jerusalem is quite simple. Buses are another convenient way to get around the city. On Friday evenings and Saturdays (Shabbat), taxis are your best bet for traveling in the city. Always ask for the driver to run the meter. If you need to get to Tel Aviv from Jerusalem, there are two buses which run during the week from the Central Bus Station. There is a shared taxi service (monit sheirut) which runs 24/7 from Monbaz and Ha-Nevi’im in Jerusalem to the Central Bus Station in Tel Aviv.
Currency
The currency in Israel is NIS (New Israeli Shekels). There are money changers and ATMs both at the airport and scattered across the city.
Emergency number
Police: 100
Medical emergency services: 101
