What to do in Israel

Israel may be a small country in the Middle East, but it’s a passionate destination that’s full of diverse cities, breathtaking manmade and natural beauty, and rich culture. Any traveller can always find something to love in Israel.

Fly to Tel Aviv to experience glamour, fun, and more modern Israeli culture. The city is so full of life, which is perfect for travellers looking for a new experience. Find yourself sunbaking on a beach or hopping to the vibrant nightlife by the shores of Tayelet. Get to know the city and spend hours at Gutman Art Museum, Tel Aviv Museum of Art, and the four incredible museums of Bialik Square. Don’t forget to wander the streets of Jaffa too.

Visit the old city of Jerusalem and see stunning architecture like the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and those in Temple Mount. The city is also your gateway to fascinating destinations such as Bethlehem, Ramallah, Abu Ghosh and the Dead Sea.

Fly to Haifa for the museums and the sweeping views. Check out the Israel National Museum of Science, Technology, and Space. Spend a perfect day at Dado Beach or go scuba diving in Eilat’s Coral Beach. Make sure you take the kids to the amazing Underwater Observatory Marine Park in Eilat too.

Away from the beaches, hikers will love Israel for the desert fortress of Masada and the canyon of Ein Avdat. And if you’re looking for more gorgeous views in Israel, bring your camera to Nazareth, the Sea of Galilee, Mahtesh Ramon, and Golan Heights.

When to visit Israel

The best time to visit Israel overall is during spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October). For southern and western Israel, like the beaches of Eilat and the Dead Sea, winter (December-February) is the best time to visit. For northern Israel, the best time to visit is summer (June-August).

Good news! Australia passport holders don’t need a visa to fly to Israel and visit the country as a tourist. According to Smartraveller, travellers in Israel are given entry cards instead of entry stamps on arrival, which you need to keep with you during your whole stay. Visit the Embassy of Israel in Australia for more travel info.
