Entertainment Overview

Jerusalem's nightlife is a great deal more limited than Tel Aviv's–seeming almost provincial by comparison–but some lively spots do keep late hours. Thursday to Saturday, Rivlin Street and the lower half of Hillel Street are packed with noisy teenagers doing nothing in particular. Azza Street, in the Rehavia neighborhood, has become an alternative hang-out for students.

For schedules of performances and other cultural events, consult the Friday weekend section of the Jerusalem Post and its insert In Jerusalem; Friday's "The Guide" of Ha'aretz's English edition; the Ministry of Tourism's monthly bulletin, Events in Jerusalem; and the free weekly booklets This Week in Jerusalem and Hello Israel; all in English.
