When History Is in the Air - Jerusalem

#historicplaces Highlight - Jerusalem is absolutely unique – there is no other place like it on earth. It’s a city of history, tradition and religion, but also, increasingly of modern culture and heritage. It is a city with so much to offer. Standing in front of the Old City of Jerusalem, you can literally feel the intense history in the air - you see the ancient walls with bullet marks built over 2000 years ago and you see people praying at the Western Wall for peace in the Middle East. Despite the heavy history of this city, you still see people dancing and playing music happily on the streets, you still hear all the laughters and see all the smiley faces. And that’s when you realize life, as well as a city, is not all about the past - the present is just as important. Jerusalem is really the place that teaches you how to appreciate and respect the history and how to forge ahead and build a bright future regardless of what happened in the past.
