How safe is Jerusalem?

In planning next year's trip I came across this report today: http://www.valparaisotimes.cl/content/view/492/1/ and http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/am...gentina.crime/ They seem relevant to this thread, regardless of the country. As far as violent civil crime against people is concerned, the world has always divided to two: very violent Americas and Africa and not so violent Europe and Asia. I don't know any reason for this. Only that it is so. Naturally this polarization is an utter generalisation. Especially when you realize that the Middle East is in Asia! Mort |

Despite what you hear on the news etc, Jerusalem is no more dangerous for tourists than any other big city; obviously there are pickpockets etc and it would be foolish to wander alone through dodgy areas at night-time, but that does not mean that it is a dangerous place! If you are sensible and stay in the main areas, you will not be in any danger.
It's true that there are often police checks, so it may be a good idea to carry your ID with you all the time, but other than that I don't think you would have any more to worry about than in any other major city in the world. Hope that was helpful; I'm sure you'll have a fantastic time..am very jealous! |

How safe is Jerusalem?
In article , Magnus says...
Especially when you realize that the Middle East is in Asia! Yes, some parts of Asia are dangerous because of wars, civil unrest etc. but overall Asia is pretty safe. If you asked me what the bad neighbourhoods in Bangkok, KL, Singapore or Tokyo are, I wouldn't know what to tell you. Especially Tokyo seems to be a very safe place. I hear stories that if you forget your bags somewhere in Tokyo, you'll find them again the next day in the same spot. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |
