Flowing with natural hot springs, brimming with Christian and Jewish holy sites and hugging the shores of the Sea of Galilee, Tiberias is a top tourist stopover for visitors to Israel. The city boasts many historical and religious sites as well as water recreation options.<\/span><\/p>\n

But required tourist hotspots usually translate to opening one\u2019s wallet at every other turn. ISRAEL21c presents 12 things to do in Tiberias without spending an agora.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Old Tiberias Walking Tour<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Tuesdays, a local tour guide takes tourists through the archaeological park (next to Sheraton Moriah and Golden Tulip hotels) and then to the promenade, past the Turkish citadel, to the famous Etz Hachaim synagogue of Rabbi Haim Abulafia, and the Scottish Compound (see below). On Fridays, he leads a free tour of the city\u2019s historical sites. Every Sunday, Monday and Thursday, a walking group leaves from the Tiberias Tourist Information Center (04-672-5666), and the Tiberias Hotel Association (04-672-4549) offers free Saturday morning walking tours revealing the history behind the walled Ottoman city to today\u2019s contemporary hotel industry. Book in advance and reconfirm.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Beaches<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located on Israel\u2019s only fresh water lake, Tiberias has many good beaches to choose from. Image via Shutterstock.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Tiberias is located on the shores of Israel\u2019s only freshwater lake, the Sea of Galilee (Lake Kinneret). There are 10 beaches to choose from, including three oriented to religious sunbathers that separate the sexes and enforce modesty codes. HaTchelet Beach (\u201cThe Light-Blue Beach\u201d) is one of the most pristine; Holiday Inn Beach is a good place for water sports and kids playgrounds; and Beriniki Beach offers facilities for camping.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Amdur Fine Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located in the center of town on one of the last ancient cobblestone streets (HaKishon, between HaGalil and HaBanim streets), the Amdur Fine Gallery is the place to go for modern art. Here you\u2019ll find original works of known and emerging Israeli contemporary artists. The gallery hosts events such as wine-and-cheese evenings and concerts. On exhibit are paintings, sculpture, jewelry and furniture design.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Tiberium Water Show<\/strong><\/p>\n

Think Bellagio on the Kinneret. Disk In Pro, Israel\u2019s world-renowned multimedia design company known for its installations in visitor centers, museums, exhibitions and theme parks, created a breathtaking water-music-light show for Tiberias. The show takes place at the south end of the Yigal Alon Promenade, and is free to the public three times each evening from 7-9 pm. (Note: Tiberium depends on the water level of the Kinneret. If the level is too high, the light show will not take place.)<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Churches<\/strong><\/p>\n

No Christian pilgrimage to Israel is complete without a visit to the Galilee. While most of the important churches are in communities surrounding the lake, many churches were also built in Tiberias. Check out St. Peter\u2019s Church, constructed on the ruins of a Crusader church; the modest basalt Church of Scotland; and the Greek Orthodox Church and Monastery of the Twelve Apostles, which includes three houses of prayer and a wall of religious icons.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Old Cemetery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cemeteries aren\u2019t usually at the top of a tourist\u2019s itinerary, but the Old Cemetery in Tiberias is an exception. The ancient sacred burial ground, which is still in use, is said to be the site where the Sanhedrin (Supreme Court of Jewish law) will reemerge first before relocating to the Temple in Jerusalem. The cemetery dates back to Herod Antipas, son of Herod the Great, who built the city in 17 BCE.<\/span><\/p>\n
