torical sites, with the Old City its jewel in the
crown.
Enter through the Jaffa Gate and take a cow
ple of hours to visit the new Tower of David
Museum, which is housed in the ancient
Citadel. From there, ask directions to the
Western Wall, or Kotel. You can either walk
through the colorful, aromatic Arab market
and haggle for bargains, or follow the Old
City's ancient outer walls and reach the Kotel
that way.
The walled city is still divided into four quad-
rants set out by the Romans in 135 C.E.: Jew-
ish, Moslem, Christian and Armenian. The
Jewish Quarter, which is centered around a
Roman street called the Cardo, is a good place
to get a cold drink and shop for Judaica, an-
cient coins, and ancient and contemporary art-
work.
Once refreshed, visit the marvelous ar-
chaeological excavations of the ancient City
of David (before venturing into the Old City,
ask the government tourist office for infor-
mation on guided tours to the excavations and
the Western Wall Tunnels. To the south is
Mount Zion, with the Tomb of King David and
such Christian sites as the Room of the Last
Supper and the Abbey of the Dormition.
Jerusalem's museums are among the best
in the world. The Israel Museum, on Ruppin
Street is just south of the Knesset (Israel's par-
liament building. It contains numerous col-
lections: Judaica, pre-Columbian American
Art, Impressionist and post-Impressionist Art.
The museum's most famous display is the
Shrine of the Book, which exhibits the Dead
Sea Scrolls. If possible, set aside an entire day
to visit the museum.
I EISURE: Amble through the city's wind-
ing streets, which are reasonably safe even af-
ter dark. Stroll past the King David Hotel to
Montefiore's Windmill. The view of the Old
City walls and the Arab village of Silwan is
breathtaking and quite romantic.
Dine at an outdoor cafe on Ben-Yehuda
Street in the center of town or at a sidewalk
restaurant on trendy Yoel Solomon Street. For
an ethnic feast, check out Sima's, a crowded
restaurant on Agrippas Street. It offers au-
thentic Middle Eastern delicacies like kebabs,
shwarma and kuba. For a more private, ro-
mantic dinner, try the elegant Valentino's
(dairy Italian food) at the Hyatt Regency Ho-
tel or Kohinoor (Indian) at the Holiday Inn
(there's also one in Tiberias).
Though not known for its nightlife,
