Get there before 11 AM
We purchased two items after our visit, and we just saw that the vendor charged us $300 USD, vice 300 shekels. So we have disputed this.
Constantly jammed with pilgrims. Long waits for access to holiest sites. Best seen with a tour guide.
Although I'm glad I visited Bethlehem, my experience at the Church of the Nativity was somewhat disappointing. When I arrived, there was an hour wait just to go inside the inner sanctuary. I didn't feel like waiting, so I just took some pictures standing in front of the sanctuary and walked around the courtyard. The most disappointing part was that you have to pay to use the bathroom!
