This is one of my two favorite neighbourhood cafes located a 15 minute walk from our home. It reminds me of one of those country cafes with beautiful decor, chilled vibes and tasty breakfasts and coffee. They even sell some local hand-made ceramics. They also have wifi for you to plan your day.

Cohen's is a chain of fquaint fromageries with locations in both Rechavia and Katamon neighbourhoods - both a stones throw from where we live. If you like local charm and luxurious wines, cheeses and other delicacies then it's definitely worth checking Cohen's deli out. Boasting checkered red and white tablecloths, cheeseboards that will make you feel like your in Paris and warming soups in winter, this is one of my favorite neighbourhood hangouts. This cafe is a 15 minute bus ride from our home or a casual 25 minute stroll. They are open from 7.30am - 8pm Sun - Thurs and from 7.30 - 3pm on Fridays.

Sightseeing
Sheltering in the valley below the Israel Museum, the Monastery of the Cross is less than half an hour walk from our house on a paved trail is one of Jerusalem’s lesser-known gems. The 1,000 year old monastery contains living quarters, a small shop and area for drinks, a small museum, and the church. While many of the frescos and artworks adorning the walls, pillars, and ceiling of the church have suffered the ravages of time, the church is well maintained and there remains much to admire. Admission is 15 shekels. After your visit there you can continue on the walking path to some nearby olive groves. thousand year old monastery

Arts & Culture
The Israel Museum is the country's flagship museum and largest cultural institution. Home to one of the finest and most comprehensive collections of art and Holy Land antiquities in the world, the museum's collections include nearly 500,000 objects, dating from prehistory to today. The 20-acre Israel Museum campus sprawls across the lip of central Jerusalem's Valley of the Cross, within sight of both the Knesset and the suburb of Rechavia so we would recommend at least half a day here. The Dead Sea Scrolls are also a must! We also recommend booking in advance to avoid long queues. The museum is a 35 minute walk from our house or 20 minutes by public transport. Admission is 54 shekels.
