Description:
Welcome to #Jerusalem, Holy City to all three monotheistic religions. In this video, we will explore Jerusalem's #CityCenter by walking along #JaffaStreet between the #MahaneYehudaMarket and #ZionSquare.

Mahane Yehuda Market is much more than just a fruit- and vegetable market. #MahaneYehuda - which translates as "Judah's Camp" - has in the last few years become a hub for the city's nightlife and restaurant scene. At night, after the fruit- and vegetable vendors close their stalls, bars start opening their doors, creating an entirely different atmosphere in the alleys of the #market.

Highly recommended venues are #BeerBazaar at the corner of Etz Hayyim Street and Jaffa Street, as well as the extremely delicious #Fishenchips Restaurant at the corner of #Agripas Street and #HaTut Street.

Jerusalem's main drag is called #JaffaStreet, named after its end-point #Jaffa, the former #PortCity, which today is part of #TelAviv. Jaffa Street begins at #JaffaGate, which is one of #EightGates into the #OldCity.

On the way to #ZionSquare, we pass #DavidkaSquare, named after the primitive, homemade #Davidka #mortar used by the #IsraeliArmy during the #1948 #WarOfIndependence .

Before reaching Zion Square, we pass the junction of Jaffa Street and #KingGeorgeStreet, where Jerusalem's first ever traffic light once stood. #KingGeorge Street is the second main road that runs through the city of Jerusalem on a north-south axis.

Zion Square, which is part of the #JerusalemDowntownTriangle , is located at the junction of Jaffa Street, #BenYehudaStreet, #HerbertSamuelStreet, and #YoelMosheSalomon Street. This square can be described as Jerusalem downtown's epicenter, where tourists and locals alike like to hang out and watch street performers, as they entertaining the crowds.
