Jerusalem's legendary open-air market is the beating heart of the city, packed with vendors selling fresh produce, spices, halva, pastries, street food, and everything in between. By night it transforms into a lively bar and restaurant scene with some of the city's best casual dining. Come hungry on a Thursday or Friday morning for the full sensory experience; it gets extremely crowded before Shabbat.
