Tzfat – Safed

No trip to the North of Israel would be complete without a stop at the magnificent and historic city of Safed, nestled in the mountains and providing visitors with a unique experience like no other. This ancient Galilean city, the highest in Israel, provides visitors with amazing views of the Galilee and Mount Hermon. The picturesque city is the home to many local artists and spiritual individuals who find fascination with mystery and mysticism. Anyone who enters will be taken in by the warm embrace of the city and its locals as they explore cobbled alleyways, stone houses, and artists’ studios. It is one of the holiest cities in Israel and the center of Jewish mysticism, Kabbalah. Visitors cannot miss the history-steeped synagogues with colorful decorations. Also make sure not miss the artists’ quarter, museums telling the story of the city’s history, and a large Crusader fortress.
