Where did Jesus go (geographically)?

In terms of modern-day geography, where is the biblical Jerusalem situated? In which country? For that matter, where would we now situate the places, in which Jesus conducted His ministry?

Thank you.

Please, don't post links to maps. The answers I am looking for are quite basic and general.:yes::)

Done here.

The Old City was considered part of the West Bank until 1980, when it was annexed by Israel. The annexation isn't generally recognized by other countries, but for all practical purposes the biblical Jerusalem is part of Israel.

For that matter, where would we now situate the places, in which Jesus conducted His ministry?
Mostly Israel and the West Bank, with forays into what is now Lebanon and into the Golan Heights, which is claimed by both Israel and Syria. He might have been to what is now Jordan, too; I'm not sure.

my point is, that I didn't know where they were to begin with. I have only ever really thought of Jerusalem, as being an almost mythical place. Existing only in the Bible. I know that isn't true, but I don't know where they are/it is, either. It's hard for me to imagine its existence in modern terms.
