- Taybeh Brewery & Visitor Center — Palestine’s best-known microbrewery: tours, tastings, a small shop and a relaxed beer garden in renovated stone buildings. It’s the single most unique modern draw here and great for chatting with locals who helped rebuild the village economy.
- Old Village Center / Main Square — a compact cluster of limestone houses, narrow lanes and little shops where daily village life happens. Good for people-watching, buying local sweets, and getting a feel for Taybeh’s rhythm away from tourist trappings.
- Greek Orthodox Church (St. George) — the village’s principal Orthodox church with a long communal history. Visiting gives a close-up of local Christian liturgical art, architecture and the role churches still play in village life.
- Roman Catholic / Latin Church — another

- Roman Catholic / Latin Church — another active parish in the village; worth a look for its interior, the cemetery and for understanding Taybeh’s multi-denominational Christian community.
- Traditional Olive Press and Cooperative — small-scale olive presses or cooperatives in town where you can see (and often taste) locally produced olive oil and learn about seasonal harvest and pressing methods that have sustained families here for generations.
- Ancient Olive Groves and Terraces — walkable right out of the village: centuries-old trees, stone terraces and mule tracks that tell the agricultural story of the place. Great for a short, scenic hike and quiet reflection.
- Community Bakery (taboun) and Local Sweets Shops — family-run bakeries that bake flatbreads and traditional pastries in wood-fired ovens. Visiting one to buy fresh bread or knafeh is a simple, delicious entry into everyday Taybeh life.
- Local Crafts and Embroidery Workshops — small, often family-run workshops where you can see traditional Palestinian embroidery, olive-wood carving or other crafts and buy authentic handmade souvenirs while supporting local artisans.
- Village Museum / Cultural Exhibits (community spaces) — modest displays, photo walls and community-run exhibits about Taybeh’s history, archaeology and daily life. These are low-key but rich in local stories—ask at the square for current locations.
- Upper-Village Viewpoint and Short Walking Trails — easy walks up to the village rim for wide views over the surrounding hills and valley. Popular at sunset; excellent for meeting shepherds, spotting terraced fields and taking photos without a crowd.
