Did you know that the oldest depicted smile in art history is found on a Bethlehem floor mosaic in the Church of the Nativity? That’s right! An artistic grin that’s over 1,700 years old!
With mild temperatures and fewer tourists, spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) are the ideal times to explore Bethlehem. However, if you fancy a Christmas experience in Jesus’ birthplace, be prepared for the winter chill and a bustling festive atmosphere.
From Tel Aviv or Jerusalem airports, Bethlehem is just a 1.5 to 2-hour drive away. If you’re staying in local city centre hotels, many offer transport services, or you can easily grab a taxi. Easy as pie!
Visiting Israel is a breeze for most tourists, with a 90-day visa exemption for many countries. However, entry to Bethlehem in the West Bank requires passing through Israeli checkpoints, so do check the specific regulations.
You see, dear travellers, Bethlehem is not just a place; it’s an emotion, a story, a legacy that awaits your presence. It’s a melting pot of religion, art, culture, and commerce. Whether you’re on a soul-searching journey, a family adventure, or a historian’s quest, Bethlehem has a spot reserved just for you.
At Touring Highlights, we’ve tailored tours focusing on cultural immersion and have hand-picked city centre hotels to make your stay as charming as the town itself.
So why wait? Unfold the pages of history, bask in the spiritual aura, indulge in local flavours, and create memories in Bethlehem that will resonate deep within your soul. And who knows? You might even find yourself smiling back at that ancient mosaic! Now, that’s something to write home about, isn’t it?
