Once you go through the church and visit the manger and the birthplace of Jesus, you come outside into a courtyard. As you can see, the sky was a brilliant blue on this day, creating a stunning view of this statue.

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!

4/5 - Good

Don't let tour guide take you to eat in this area or take you to souvenir shops. Too expensive.
