CENTRE-VILLE DE BETHLÉEM

Place Manger, Rue du Pape Paul VI, Rue de l'Etoile and the surrounding alleyways form the heart of Bethlehem. Place Manger is the starting point for a tour of the town: most sites are within walking distance. A Tourist's Guide to the Occupation is on display in front of the Peace Center. On Christmas Eve, the town center glows with a thousand lights, but the rest of the year it offers the natural charm of its narrow limestone streets and typical architecture, interspersed with convents and churches.
