If you want to be in a city with good healthcare, Nazareth offers the best hospital to population ratio on our list. According to the New Testament, the city is the birthplace of Jesus Christ and due to this fact, it became a center of Christian pilgrimage. Unlike other cities on our list of best places to retire in Israel, Nazareth doesn’t have a majority of the Jewish population but is predominately inhabited by Arab Muslims and Christians. It shouldn’t be confused with the city of Nazareth Illit, inhabited with the Jewish population.
