Israel is one of the countries I expected the most from - and it did not disappoint. It is one of the most culturally, architecturally, and gastronomically rich destinations, offering everything from ancient cities to some of the world's most important religious sites. This Israel travel blog brings together practical guides, itineraries, and tips to help you explore it all.
Itineraries & planning
You can fly into Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, both well-connected gateways to the country. Israel has one of the best infrastructures in the world. Due to Israel's rich history, it is among the safest countries in the world. English is widely spoken, and paying by card is accepted almost everywhere.
Israel is really small country, and the entire country is easily reachable through its compact infrastructure of highways. From my personal experience, I don't recommend using public transportation even for longer trips, as car rental is cheap and easy.
Israel is a year-round travel destination, but timing matters. It’s best to avoid the summer months, the weather is unbearable when it reaches 40 degrees +. The weather is generally better on the Mediterranean Sea.
A lot of people in Israel carry assault rifles, especially in Jerusalem. It didn't make me feel safer, but I might have been, who knows.
Visit Jerusalem and the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Judean Desert, the Sea of Galilee, Masada, and the Dead Sea.
