Jerusalem Arrival: Train, Walls, and a First Shuk Night

Noa takes the half-hour train from Tel Aviv up into the Judean hills and lands in Jerusalem in the middle of August. She walks the four quarters of the Old City, learns the layering of the city's religions and histories, and ends her first night with dinner in Machane Yehuda as the market turns from stalls to bars. Practical notes on the light rail, the Shuk's day-and-night rhythm, and the cost of a Jerusalem beer. ☕ Enjoying the show?
