A holy city for Christians, Muslims and Jews of all kinds, the place of pilgrimage for numerous believers, the territory where government residences and institutions are located, and just a city full of life.
Modern Jerusalem is divided into two parts: the New and the Old City. The new city, which began in 1860 from the first Jewish outskirts in the west, long ago surpassed Old and in size, in terms of population. A community of extremely Orthodox Jews resides in the Mea Shearim district ("One Hundred Gates").
The heart of Jerusalem is the Old Town, which is historically divided into 4 quarters: "Jewish", "Armenian", "Christian" and "Muslim".

Hotels in Jerusalem
In Jerusalem, a great variety of all kinds of hotels, hostels, guest houses and boarding houses. At the same time, most of the "fours" and "fives" (which, in view of their category, are supposed to have an area of numbers not less than a certain minimum) are outside the Old City. The hotels located in its line usually do not have any stars: they are all kinds of B & B, guesthouses and apartments.
Travelers who come to Jerusalem during group excursion tours are accommodated in the Christian, Jewish or Armenian neighborhoods - they are considered to be the safest. However, individual travelers are less likely to stay in the Muslim quarter (near Damascus Gate and the intersection of El-Wad and Via Dolorosa), as the prices for accommodation there are lower.

Kitchen and restaurants
In search of cute cafes and bars, you should walk to Ben Yehuda Boulevard. Gourmet restaurants are located in the Faingold-Court area, where every July restaurateurs begin to compete in culinary skills and on Tuesday organize mini-festivals in the open.
Recently, a lot of pubs appeared in the Russian farmstead, but in the southern district of the city of Talpiyote, rest, as a rule, only "discotheques." Another large cluster of merry young people can be seen near Nahalat Shiva and Yoel Salomon.
