Jerusalem and Bethlehem are only about two hours from Tel Aviv; because they are located so close together many people take a full day's road trip to visit both. The easiest option is to join a tour or hire a car and driver. Roads and traffic can be complicated, and the drive is much more pleasant as a passenger. Your first stop is Bethlehem, a surprisingly lively town blending the din of traffic with several ancient sites of worship like the Nativity Church and the Church of the Milk Grotto. Jerusalem is even more impressive: one of the oldest cities in the world, it has a wealth of historical sites including the Wailing Wall, King David's Tomb and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. With proper planning, you can be back in Tel Aviv for dinner.
