Built by Herod Antipas, the city was named Tiberias in honour of the Roman Emperor Tiberius. Tiberias plays an important role in Jewish history. It was part of the land bequeathed to Naphtali (Joshua 19:35). In the Mishnaic and Talmudic period, Tiberias was an important spiritual centre. The Sanhedrin (the High Court of Israel during the Second Temple period) relocated to Tiberias from Sepphoris, and the Talmud was compiled there. A Samaritan centre existed in Tiberias in the middle of the 4th century. The early pioneers established some of Israel's first kibbutzim (collective farms) at the turn of the century in this area.
From the Old City and the promenade, the central boardwalk stretches up to downtown. This is a lively commercial centre teeming with varied restaurants, cafes, overflowing pubs, ice cream parlours and souvenir shops. In the summer, the area is particularly crowded and bazaars are accompanied by contemporary music. Near the boardwalk, colourful horse-drawn carriages offer visitors a slightly different tour of the town.
On the other side of the boardwalk is Tiberias's famed fish market. The fishing industry is highly developed and dozens of fishing boats head onto the lake every morning, returning brimming with fresh fish for sale at the local market. Close to the market is a popular falafel complex that attracts thousands of hungry visitors seeking the hot, fresh, tasty morsels. Falafel stand owners will be happy to offer taste tests in the hopes you choose their wares for your lunch.
Across from the falafel stands is a large municipal auditorium in which events, celebrations and concerts are open to the public.
Tiberias also offers the Dona Gracia Museum, which tells the story of Gracia Nasi who used her considerable wealth to save many Jewish refugees of the Spanish Inquisition and build a Jewish city in Tiberias. The castle is a museum, divided into halls that tell her story and that of the period through rich visuals, scenery and the sounds of the Renaissance, which offer a royal experience.
South of the Old City is Hamat Tiberias National Park, which includes seventeen hot springs whose 60-degree Celsius waters are infused with approximately 100 minerals with unique therapeutic qualities that can be found only here. The site's healing capabilities have been known for 2,000 years and the baths have attracted people since time immemorial. The waters from the springs feed the renowned Tiberias Springs spa. The spa offers several thermo-mineral pools, luxurious body treatments and unique health treatments as well as the quiet atmosphere and the beautiful view of Lake Kineret.
