If you are a history person and love to gain knowledge then this is the place for you as history exists almost on every corner of this city. Jerusalem has amazing attractions not just in terms of history, but also in terms of different religions including “The Western Wailing Wall, Dome of the Rock, and Church of the Holy Sepulcher, etc.” Once you enter from the “Jaffa Gate,” there are magical street light views giving twists and turns to keep you there for longer. You should check out the Christian Quarter to participate in midnight mass and other Christmas related services.
