There is one adventure for which you do not have to go on a trek in India or South America, it is called the Israel Trail and it has attracted quite a few Israelis and tourists in recent years. The path that begins in the north, descends to the Sharon and central areas, continues to the lowlands to Jerusalem and descends south to Eilat, is an opportunity for a unique physical, mental and emotional journey, where the true landscapes of Israel are revealed, without retouching Photoshop. Those who make the journey for Israel with friends or family will find that it is a unique social experience.
At the end of each episode of the route you reach a different city or a certain area and all you want is to be pampered. Raise your legs up or change the atmosphere, do something particularly liberating and fun. Jerusalem offers those who come to it as part of the Israel Trail quite a few treats and fun attractions. Here are some of them.
Tour of the Mahane Yehuda market:
After a long walk, we are mostly hungry and tired, and there is no better place for a good, slow and authentic meal than the Mahane Yehuda market, which in recent years has opened its doors to young restaurateurs who offer a true Israeli culinary experience. Homemade food, young and sweeping atmosphere, authentic Jerusalem with the smells and sounds, the people and the tastes. Lots of color and charm that will give you energy before the next episode of the trip.
Entertainment at a boutique hotel:
In Jerusalem you will find quite a few small, especially luxurious hotels, where there is no queue on the way to breakfast and you do not have to hear the songs of the “legend” in the pool. The smaller and more special boutique hotels are located in picturesque alleys and in the vicinity of the Old City, in neighborhoods like Ein Kerem and Mishkenot Sha’ananim that are not beautiful. These are exactly the places where you can break away from the atmosphere of dust, dirt and winds of the Israel Trail and enjoy a night or two in a truly pampering place.
Cultural night in the city:
Over the years, Jerusalem has become an attractive ground for many artists who live and work in its alleys. Some of them attended the excellent art schools in the city – from Hadassah Bezalel, and others came here to create an opportunity for themselves and to be close to a place that is developing culturally. If you are a culture lover, take an evening tour of many artist galleries, joint artist complexes, art shows that take place in different places in the city, exhibitions displayed in pubs and restaurants in the city and a wide variety of art events.
Segway tour around the city:
When you walk alone for Israel you use your feet, walk at a pace and burn energy. At the end of the day the body is tired and wants to rest. If you want to do it in an easy way, on wheels, it is recommended to choose Segway tours in Jerusalem. The Segway, driven by weight and body angle, takes you through lush Mishkenot alleys, to the animals at the Biblical Zoo or along the Commissioner’s Palace promenade overlooking the city. These are just some of the routes offered by specialized companies operating in the city. The legs.
