Make a list of the churches you want to see. There are literally dozens of important churches to see in the Holy Land. You can refer to a travel book like Lonely Planet, a religious-historical text or Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs website to see which churches are located in the country.
Check out organized church tours. Tour operators such as Tours for Churches and Holy Land Escorted Christian Tours offer organized tours of the Holy Land's most important churches. These tours provide a comprehensive look at the most important and revered churches in Israel.
Pay attention to the time of year. Touring in Israel's summer heat can be uncomfortable. The major Christian holy days of Christmas and Easter draw huge crowds to churches, so you might want to pick another time. Many important churches are in the Palestinian controlled territories. Make sure that they are safe to visit by checking State Department travel advisories.
Spend enough time in each church so you can take in the experience. You want to connect with the building, the religious significance and the history.
