What is Jerusalem
Jerusalem (Hebrew: ירושלים Yerushalayim, Arabic: القدسal-Quds) is the three times holy city (to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), whilst being the modern capital of the State of Israel and the country`s largest city. The City of Gold, as it has come to be known, is a fascinatingly unique place where the first century rubs shoulders with the twenty-first century, each jostling for legitimacy and space, and where picturesque "old" neighborhoods nestle against glistening office towers and high-rise apartments. It is one of those places which has to be seen to be believed.

The old city is obviously the place you want to go. Once you see the ancient walls you just have to be in awe of all the history that has happened in this city. I don't how long you should spend here to see it all. Just an incredible place.

Cool history. I especially liked the fact that tho holiest part of the wall was so holy that only a certain high priest can visit it through a cave etc. They tied a rope to him so that if he'd die while in the cave they could pull him out, as the place was so holy that no one else was allowed to visit. Crazy are the things that people do for religion...
