Heritage and landscapes of Israel
Essential ยท Historic port
Old City of Acre
Acre, also called Akko, preserves Crusader remains beneath and alongside Ottoman streets, markets and buildings. Its UNESCO-listed old city is also a living community with homes, religious places and working businesses. The representative pin marks the historic centre rather than an entrance. Its layers are better understood together than as a city belonging to just one period.
Explore sixteen selected places, from Mediterranean ports and modern architecture to archaeological sites, wetlands and the Negev. The pins follow the guideโs stated territorial scope; Jerusalem entries are in West Jerusalem. Older photographs, heritage descriptions and representative pins do not establish current conditions or safe access. Essential and Worth a detour organise this learning selection. Check current official travel advice and local opening notices before planning visits. Select a pin to read about a place, then play the map and find them all.
