Best time to visit Jerusalem
For the most comfortable and stress-free time to visit Jerusalem, plan your stay for the periods from April – May (spring) and October – November (autumn). Temperatures are moderate during this time and hotel rates are low. Check when the local holidays and major celebrations are, as it usually results in an upsurge of visitors and hotel prices. December – March (winter) brings the cooler temperatures and heavy rainfall. Hotel prices are at their lowest during this period, so if you choose to visit, make sure to bring plenty of warm layers.
