Jerusalem is the declared capital of Israel and Palestine, located in the Judean Hills region of the Middle East, and has a history of over 3,000 years. A holy site for the three major religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, the city is divided into West Jerusalem (the modern commercial center) and East Jerusalem (the Old City area). The Old City is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and contains iconic sites such as the Wailing Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and the Dome of the Rock Mosque.
Jerusalem is the seat of Israel's governmental institutions, including the Knesset and the Supreme Court, but is not generally recognized as the capital by the international community. The city's population of approximately one million is a blend of Jewish, Arab and Armenian communities, and Hebrew and Arabic are spoken. Its unique status has led to a long history of political controversy while attracting pilgrims and tourists from around the globe.
The economy is dominated by tourism, religious services and high-tech industries, with academic institutions such as the Hebrew University. Visitors can explore the Old City bazaar, the Holocaust Memorial and the Mount of Olives landscape. Jerusalem has a Mediterranean climate with four distinct seasons, with spring and fall being the best times to visit. Transportation in the city relies on the light rail and buses, and the city retains a combination of ancient stone buildings and modern amenities.
