With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Safed, 17 miles away, has to offer. Mount of Beatitudes, House of Galilee and Abuhav Synagogue alone make the drive out worth it. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Tiberias, 25 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Sea of Galilee. (But we’d also recommend Tiberias Hot Springs and Hamat Tiberias National Park.)
