For many, Jerusalem is considered to be the center of the world, but it’s seldom regarded as hip or progressive. There are a variety of things to do in the ancient city, but few are as on-trend as the Tel Aviv or Haifa happenings. However, beyond the walls of its holy sites lie many opportunities to combine modern events and eateries with its deeply rooted history. Whether it’s a funky speakeasy or a progressive art museum, there are countless opportunities to experience new culture in and around this old city. If you’re looking for something to eat, grab a bite at a modern eatery in Jerusalem’s first train station or even at a restaurant open on Shabbat! Between galleries hidden within the walls of the Old City and hip bars that come alive after hours in the Shuk, you just might be surprised at what is hiding behind Jerusalem’s ancient facade.
