The Mahane Yehuda Market is the best all-around stop for spices, baked goods, sweets, and local wine, plus a lively bar scene after dark. The Old City's souks, especially along David Street and the Christian Quarter, are packed with Judaica, olive wood carvings, ceramics, and religious souvenirs, bargaining is expected and part of the experience. For modern retail, Mamilla Avenue and the Malha Mall offer international and Israeli fashion brands in air-conditioned comfort.
