Tiberias - The town

Tiberias consists of the old town, the large new district of Qiryat Shmuel to the north and the district of Hammat to the south with its hot springs. The principal streets of the old town - in which, however, there are few old buildings - are HaGalil Street and HaBannim Street, both running parallel to the shore of the lake.

There is a very attractive lakeside promenade with numerous restaurants and cafes and magnificent views of the Sea of Galilee.
