Jerusalem

The city of proud history and ancient culture is an obvious go-to! Who said the Western Wall and Shuk Machane Yehudah were the only worthwhile places to go in Jerusalem? Outdoor spaces like Gan Sacher, The Jerusalem Botanical Gardens, and Rechavia Park are great places for picnics, friend-hangouts, and even some alone time. Other places around Jerusalem include the famous Mamilla Avenue Mall, full of luxurious shopping and restaurants, and The Israel Museum, with its very own Holy Temple replica and display of the ancient Dead Sea Scrolls. See you in the Old City!

Tel Aviv

The city of nightlife, art, and FOOD! Walk along the 3-mile boardwalk that stretches from Yafo to Herzliya, while eating delicious Israeli street food from your stops at Shuk HaPishpeshim and Shuk HaCarmel along the way. As night time approaches, check out the lively bar scene in Dizengoff Center, the artsy, graffiti-smattered neighborhood of Florentin, or the decorative town of Neve Tzedek. Neve Tzedek features the lovely Park HaMesila, a spot where young people grab a pizza and lay out on lucious, bright green grass with their friends.
