We like visiting universities while we are abroad. This campus is Mazor's school, and has a great botanical garden. We wouldn't spend the entire day here, but it's worth a visit since you're so close.

This wonderful, beautiful neighborhood, which is Mazor's favorite in town, was an Arab village until 1948. It's fun to walk around, with some nice restaurants and important churches around.

This modern Holocaust museum is not easy, but it's interesting as a view into Israeli/Jewish attitude to WWII events. The architecture and amazing view add to the mixture of feelings.

Kadosh is our favorite cafe. Mouth-watering pastries are made fresh every morning, and go great with the excellent coffee. Breakfast and lunch don't fall behind. Not cheap, but definitely worth it.

It's small, with only two tables and a bar, and constantly busy, but even though you'll have to wait - it's a good thing. They only make what's fresh, and they make it good. Students get special deals

They are close by and effective: the minimarket is closer than the supermarket and has better produce - but is pricier. Dominos Pizza is the landmark for getting around, their pizza is OK, not more.

Being the only gay bar in town, the dance floor is too small for the crowd, but you can always escape to the terrace. Our favorite hangout, it has a nostalgia-packed wall gallery and fun music.
