Top 9 Lookouts in Jerusalem, Jerusalem District

December 17, 2021 Madelene Haan

Religious pilgrims have been traveling to Jerusalem for centuries, yet you don’t have to share their zeal in order to appreciate this city’s profound cultural and historical significance. Plan on seeing the major sights, but also leave plenty of time to walk through the streets and simply immerse yourself in the daily life of such an ancient and revered place.

Ein Lavan

Reviewed By HolylandTourGuide

If you happen to be around Jerusalem these days, when the weather is cool, there are many beautiful parks situated in Rephaim Valley where springs are still trickling. Just enter any local supermarket, purchase a small grill, a bag of charcoal, a few steaks and a bottle of wine and head out to one of these nature reserves. Entrance is free and parking plentiful. Enjoy your day.

The Arthur Rubinstein Memorial

Reviewed By Ivisitedtheplace - Israel, null

As you can see from my extensive April 2018 review and eleven photos from then, this location is primarily (almost exclusively) about the Memorial to President John F. Kennedy- it’s known as “Kennedy Hand.” We came again this afternoon to continue our more than twenty year tradition of running up the sides of the monument in order to slap the state seals (see photos to understand).... but alas, the site is closed and locked after 4pm. So therefore, and in order to justify this review (and to be able to claim as I always do that “I visited this place), we walked to that Arthur Rubinstein Memorial. It was not clean and there were sloppy and not quiet picknickers and even a mid day bonfire. As I wrote two and a quarter years ago, it looks like a grave (not without irony, it looks like the JFK grave that I visited in January 2019 and reviewed sometime shortly after that- feel free to read that review too).... anyway, I just read a review here today by one of our TripAdvisor friends, and he wrote that the pianist’s ashes were scattered in this forest- maybe under this marker are some of the remains?... morbid thought. Anyway, enjoy my photos and remember that the main attraction here is the Kennedy Memorial, the trees planted by family members, and the great views and hiking trails. That’s why this site gets a 5 star rating- you can skip that Rubinstein stuff. Enjoy! All this is true, because “I visited this place”... today.
