Tzfat's neighbourhoods

The Old City and the Artists' Quarter

The Old City is the historic Jewish quarter of stone alleys and old synagogues; below it, the Artists' Quarter grew from the 1950s artists' colony. Both are busy with visitors in summer and quiet in winter.

West and south

West of the Old City are Kiryat Breslov, Maor Haim and Ganei Hadar; to the south are Shikma near Ziv Medical Center, Darom, Hadar and the private homes of Bne Beitcha.

East and Mount Canaan

The city climbs east and north up Mount Canaan: Kiryat Chabad, Ramat Razim, Neve Oranim, Nof Talia, Kiryat Sara and Marom Kenaan near the top. The newest area, Nof HaKinneret, faces the Sea of Galilee.

Winter

At this height winters are cold and wet, with night frost and occasional snow; ask about heating when you look at a flat.
