Where: Israel

Don't worry, we don't want to get ourselves involved in any long-running old political disputes. We just want to report the truth. And the truth is that an English-language sightseeing brochure about Jerusalem boldly proclaimed recently "There is no such city!"

The confusion of any travelers who were already there when they read the news can now be allayed: It was simply a translation error. What it should have said was "Jerusalem. There's no city like it!" Got a qualification as a translator from Hebrew to English? Looks like Jerusalem needs you.
