Jerusalem

Established over 3,000 years ago, the city of Jerusalem offers students the chance to literally reach out and touch the past. Known as the “city of gold,” Jerusalem is a magical mix of ancient and modern, where outdoor shuks (markets) rub shoulders with gleaming office towers.

Jerusalem boasts a thriving student life thanks to campuses like the Hebrew University, Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, and The Jerusalem Academy of Music and Dance. The city’s most popular spots for students include a vibrant downtown with world-class restaurants and shopping, and the Old City, a maze of winding alleyways and colorful markets enclosed by walls dating back to the 16th century.
