Honeymoon in Israel — Jerusalem and the countryside delivered everything

We chose Israel for our honeymoon and it was perfect for us. The romantic atmosphere in Jerusalem at night, the drama of Old City Jerusalem, the intimacy of small restaurants serving hummus — all of it added up to exactly what we were hoping for.

extraordinary concentration of history became an unexpected gift — something we stumbled across that felt made for the occasion. We had 13 days and used every one of them well. Some destinations disappoint when the pressure of a special occasion is on them. Israel didn't.
