Main attractions for this trip were ‘The Jerusalem Archaeological Park' and 'The City of David'. It takes volumes to write about these sites and hence it will be better to attach some online links to fetch you details in a more extensive and enjoyable way. One thing I can assure you: if you are in Jerusalem these are must places to visit and if you are an archaeology or bible lover, a single visit will make indelible impression on you. Yet I will try to add some brief details about these venues. Apart from these sites, I managed to visit the 'Tomb of King David' and the 'Grave of Oscar Schindler' (of Schindler's List fame); revisited the Church of St. Peter Gallicantu (especially to see the ancient path allegedely taken by Jesus to Gethsemane), the Last Supper Room and the Zion Gate; Had a birds-eye-view of 'Hill of Evil Counsel' (the place where the High Priest Caiphas decided to arrest Jesus) and the Aceldama (the land where Judas Iscariot hanged himself).
