  • Go kayaking on the Jordan river (further down the road from the Baptismal site)
  • Stroll along the promenade and catch a northern breeze
  • Visit the City Spa, located within City limits and featuring thermal and sulphur pools
  • Take a swim in the lake, but don't urinate in it, because the water from here is being pumped and whisked in underground pipes to the desert for drinking by humans...
  • Hire a bicycle and go cycling around the Kinneret lake (requires a whole day to complete the approximately 55 km circuit)

  • Hamath Tiberias National Park [1]
  • The Galilee Experience [2], located near the main wharf
  • The Jordan river baptismal site. A holy site not to be missed. Bring swim wear and a robe for the baptismal. An excellent restaurant is on premises "tmarim" palms fusing French cooking techniques with local Cannanite ingredients. Wonderful!

  • Old Tveria restaurant in the center is a really gourmet institution with reasonable prices (much cheaper than comprable restaurants in Tel Aviv). Try their filet mignon or Beef Strogonoff!! An old British pub ambiance with outdoor terrace.
