Discover a fascinating country between the Mediterranean Sea, desert and holy cities – multi-layered, intense and thoughtfully planned.
Israel is above all one thing: diverse. Natural spectacles and wild, untouched landscapes provide the perfect contrast to the vibrant metropolises and the old town with its historically significant Western Wall. In every little crack, there is a note with hopeful messages left by travelers and pilgrims. A very special experience: Every Saturday evening, Jews at the wall celebrate their faith traditionally with dance and song. A detour to Tel Aviv is also worthwhile – here, a modern, creative hotspot meets millennia-old history!
Relaxing in a state of suspension
How about a salty beauty bath? Cleopatra already knew how to appreciate the white gold of the Dead Sea, from which a unique, meditative calm emanates due to its almost motionless surface. Just as it should be on holiday. Hiking enthusiasts also find their happiness in Israel. The breathtaking nature is so vast that you hardly meet another person. Israel is full of surprises and highlights that you won't forget easily!

General information about Israel
We have compiled the most interesting information for your desired travel destination.
Jerusalem – City of Cultures and Religions
In Israel, the Christian, Muslim, and Jewish religions have coexisted for a long time. Nowhere else does Jerusalem highlight this historical connection as clearly. With the Western Wall, Temple Mount, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and Al-Aqsa Mosque, Jerusalem is home to important sanctuaries of the three world religions. However, the historically significant city is by no means a museum but a stage for modern Israeli life. The culinary offer in Jerusalem is as varied and diverse as the city itself. Small snack bars and restaurants spoil their visitors with the cuisines of the Near and Middle East.
Tel Aviv – The White City
While Jerusalem represents the historically significant Israel, Tel Aviv with its skyscrapers and lively scene cafés stands for the modern side of the country. In the 1930s and 1940s, more than 4,000 snow-white buildings in Bauhaus style were created here, earning Tel Aviv the name 'The White City.' Even today, the city's image is characterized by a mix of artistic ambition and functionality. The unique creative scene in Tel Aviv makes the city a trendy holiday destination, not just for young people. You should not miss a walk through the artist district of Florentin. Additionally, Tel Aviv is known to be particularly friendly to the LGBTQ+ community, which is proudly celebrated during the annual Tel Aviv Gay Pride Parade.
Diverse Culture
As in few other countries, the history of the three world religions Islam, Judaism, and Christianity is tangible and experiential in Israel. In 2005, according to the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics, 75.4% of the population were Jews, 16.9% Muslims, and 2.1% Christians. For about a hundred years, Jews from all over the world have been returning to their homeland and bringing with them the culture of their previous places of living. As diverse as the people living in Israel, so is the culture of the country. Visit the important religious sites of the country, get to know life in a kibbutz, and indulge in the great culinary variety!
Special Highlights and Attractions
In addition to the two popular cities, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, Israel also has many natural highlights to offer. In southern Israel lies the Negev desert, which covers over 12,000 square kilometers. This spectacular landscape of rugged mountain ranges and distinct craters is home to the historic Incense Route, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area around the Sea of Galilee, the lowest freshwater lake on earth, appears greener and more fertile. The beautiful lake also holds great significance from a biblical perspective. The Sea of Galilee can be easily reached as a day trip from Jerusalem or Tel Aviv. For active vacationers, the Israel National Trail is highly recommended. As one of the most beautiful long-distance hiking trails in the world, the trail spans 1,500 kilometers from north to south through all of Israel. Of course, only individual sections can also be hiked.
Climate and Best Travel Time
The climate in Israel varies depending on distance to the Mediterranean and geographical elevation. While a temperate Mediterranean climate prevails in the north, the south is characterized by a dry desert climate. Generally, Israel is a year-round destination, but spring and autumn with pleasant temperatures are particularly suitable for a trip to Israel. During this time, it is not too hot to explore cities while still warm enough for beach outings. In April and May, the country blossoms and presents itself in a particularly beautiful way.
