PLEASE SEE THE NEW LIST FOR PESACH 2016 (CLICK HERE)!!!
The word on the street is that this year's list of free attractions is the same as last year's list. I have been trying to get some sort of official confirmation of that - but have not been able to. Everyone else has linked to a ynet article from 2015 when posting about this year's free attractions.
So I am now reposting last year's list, with many links to sites in English that will make it easier for you to get the info you need. IF THE LIST CHANGES I will update this post immediately!
This year, chol Hamoed is April 24-28. Most sites will close early on erev chag, April 28.
*Please note that I put a lot of effort into this post, tracking down websites in English for your convenience. I know the Bank Hapoalim info is available to the public in Hebrew, but this blog post has added benefits for the English speaking community. Because it was so much work, I request that if you plan to share this info, you link back to my site. Thank you for this common courtesy.
Bank Hapoalim does this wonderful service for the country: They sponsor free attractions all around the country for Chol Hamoed, and the country loves it!
Here's the list of free attractions for 2015. I have linked to websites in English, whenever possible. I hope you find this list helpful, and that you get to have some super-frugal fun over Pesach!
Please leave a comment with your favorite place to visit (from this list)!
