Safed

The magic of Safed

Among the ancient stone alleyways, the clear air and the open Galilean landscape, past, spirit and calm meet in a way few places manage. This is a city that invites you to slow down, breathe deeply and settle into an atmosphere with no real equal.

Centuries of culture, faith and creativity are set into every corner, and together with the quiet and the natural beauty, Safed offers an experience that is deep, restful and genuinely meaningful.

Safed, a little history

Safed is one of the four holy cities, and was once an important spiritual and cultural centre of Jewish life. In the sixteenth century it became home to the great kabbalists and halachic authorities, and the foundations of Kabbalah and of Jewish spiritual writing were laid here. That rich history is still present today in the stone alleyways, the ancient synagogues and the particular atmosphere the city has carried through the generations.

A holiday in Safed, an experience for the soul

The Safed of today holds a rich spiritual past alongside a calm and welcoming present. Beside the ancient alleyways, the synagogues and the particular atmosphere, the city has also become a sought-after destination for couples and families looking for quiet, mountain air and the open Galilean landscape. It is a place to slow down, step away from routine and enjoy a holiday with depth, calm and an atmosphere nothing else replaces.
