Whether you visit the Holy Land as a part of a Pilgrimage or just a looking for some adventure, the churches in the Galilee is a must-see.
The Galilee attracts many Christian pilgrims, as many of Christ’s miracles occurred.
Such events include his walking on water, calming the storm, and feeding five thousand people in Tabgha.
Thus, it’s natural that it is also the place of many unique churches that commemorate those notable events and sites.
We also recommend you to consider visiting some of the churches as a part of an organized or Private tour.
This is because many of the churches mentioned in this list have a very limited visitation time.
Holy Land VIP Tours offers you the opportunity to visit those churches in the following tours:
- Christian tour in the Galilee
- Christian tour in Nazareth
- 1 Day Christian tour in the Galilee and Jaffa
- Northern Israel Private Tour
Many Churches in the Galilee are worth a visit, but it is impossible to include all of them in one list.
Therefore, we brought you those 6 best Churches in the Galilee that we think you can’t miss during your visit to the Holy Land.

Highest recommendations to use Holy Land VIP Tours! Our family of five wanted to visit Jerusalem and surrounding Christian sites but wanted to be on our own, without a large travel group.
Angie W We traveled with Holy Land VIP tours and Daniel was our guide. We felt very safe, and our accommodations were excellent. We were able to visit all of the Christian Holy Land Sites.
David BDaniel was able to take us to all the places we wanted to go and enable us to get into many places because he knew someone! He is very knowledgeable and accurate in the places.
Ken ODaniel and his Holy Land VIP Tours team were superb in all regards. We had a customized and flexible 7-day tour of Israel, including the northern coast, Galilee, Golan, etc.
