Jerusalem (August 2000)

One week is not enough here, in this city of cities. Together with Rome, it is probably the most impressive city in the world that I have seen so far. The Old City, small as it is, already takes days to explore. The rest of the city, more or less modern, is not bad either: Ethiopian and Russian churches, a Greek-Orthodox monastery and several interesting museums.
