More information on Ein Kerem

Surrounded by hills dotted with olive and cypress trees, this is a refreshingly quiet village about a 20-minute ride southwest of the Old City. Its quaint stone houses are mostly inhabited by Israeli artists and sculptors, and there is a variety of art galleries in the village. You will also find a choice of intimate cafés and restaurants, and religious sites such as the Ein-Karem church, the Church of the Visitation, and the Spring of The Virgin. Take a walk through the winding streets and view-filled hills.
