B&Bs and Suites in Jerusalem for Christmas

Christmas in Jerusalem: Where to stay over the holiday weekend

This page lists accommodations in Jerusalem with availability for the 2026 Christmas weekend: Christmas Eve falls on Thursday, December 24, and the holiday itself is on Friday. Shabbat begins on Friday evening, so staying within walking distance of the Old City is a great advantage.

What's happening in Jerusalem during the holiday?

The festivities are centered in the Christian Quarter and the New Gate area, where the Christmas market has returned in recent years. In 2025, it operated on the evenings from December 15 to 24. Outside the walls, the YMCA building on King David Street is lit up for the holiday. More about the festivities in the guideChristmas 2026 in Israel.

What to check before ordering?

It's worth checking the distance from the Old City, the minimum number of nights on weekends, and the cancellation policy. On Shabbat, public transportation in the west of the city does not operate, so those arriving without a car will benefit from staying close to the Christian Quarter.

At ZMRM, you check availability and prices, choose dates, and pay online, including by credit card, reserve voucher, and gift card.
