This anonymous travelogue recounts a journey undertaken in the year 333, according to the pair of consuls mentioned in the text. Conventionally known as the Itinerarium Burdigalense, or "Bordeaux Pilgrim," for the text's point of departure (the trip ends in Milan), this text is also generally considered the first Christian pilgrimage account. It is something of a literary hybrid. The majority of the text is a set of travel instructions listing changing-stations (mutationes) and rest-stops (mansiones); essentially, a textual map, of which other ancient examples survive, such as the possibly third-century Itinerarium Antonini. The core of the text, however, during the traveler's time in the holy land, reads more like a travel account, such as Pausanias's Description of Greece.
You can view a visual representation of the pilgrim's journey here.
I have translated into English very common place-names (like Rome or Milan), and those that seem to be nicknames (like Twelfth or Three-Horn Camp); the rest I have left as the traveler recorded them. It doesn't seem that he stopped at all of these places, but merely noted them down in passing on his route.

A mile from there is the place where Jacob, when he came into Mesopotamia, slept, and there is an almond tree, and he had a vision and an angel struggled with him.
There was King Jeroboam, to whom a prophet was sent, and he was converted to God on High; and the command to the prophet was that he should eat with the false prophet whom the King had with him, and since he was led astray by the false prophet and ate with him, as he returned a lion met the prophet in the road and killed him.
There is Jerusalem, 12 miles.
From Caesarea in Palestine to Jerusalem it's 116 miles, 3 rest-stop, 4 changes.
There are in Jerusalem two big pools to the side of the Temple, that is, one to the right, another to the left, which Solomon made, but inside the cite there are two twin pools with five porches, which are called Bethsaida.
There those who have been sick for many years have been healed.
These pools have water which becomes scarlet when disturbed.
There is a crypt there where Solomon tortured demons.
There is the corner of the highest tower, where the Lord went up and he said to the one who was tempting him, and the Lord said to him: Do not tempt the Lord your God, but him only should you serve (Matt 4:7, 10).
There is the cornerstone about which it was said: stone, which the builders reproved, this has been made the head stone (Matt 21:42).
And under the pinnacle of the tower there are many chambers, where Solomon had his palace.
There is also the chamber in which he sat and wrote about wisdom; but the chamber itself has a single stone for its roof.
There are also very great pools of water underground and a great pool built with work.
And in that building where the Temple was, which Solomon built, in the marble before the altar is the blood of Zechariah which you would say was shed today; indeed, there appear to be traces of the soldier's boots, who killed him, throughout the area, such that you would think they had been pressed in wax.
There are two status of Hadrian; not far from the statues is a pierced stone to the Jews comes every year and they anoint it and they lament with a groan and they tear their garments and then they withdraw.
There is the house of Hezekiah, King of Judah.
On the road out of Jerusalem, as you go up Zion, on the left hand side and down in the valley next to the wall there is a pool, which is called Siloam; it has four porches; and another big pool outside
This fountain runs for six days and nights, and on the seventh day it rests; it does not run for a whole day and night.
On the same side you go up Zion and there is where the house of Caiaphas the high priest was, and the pillar is right there on which they fell upon Christ with whips.
Within, that is inside the wall, appears the place where David had his palace.
And the seven synagogues which were there, only one remains but the rest are plowed over and seeded, just as Isaiah the prophet said.
There as you go outside the wall of Zion, going along to the Neapolitan gate on the right hand side, down in the valley there are walls where the house was, or the praetorium, of Pontius Pilate; there the Lord was tried, before he suffered.
On the left hand side is the little hill of Golgotha, where the Lord was crucified.
About a stone's throw from there is the crypt where his body was buried and on the third day he rose; at the same place, on the command of the Emperor Constantine, a basilica was built (that is, a church [dominicum]), of marvelous beauty, having reservoirs on the side, where water is brought up, and a bath behind in which infants are bathed. Presumably, the traveler does not mean literal infants being washed, but new Christians being baptized.
Again going along to Jerusalem to the gate, which is toward the east, as you go up onto the Mount of Olives, there is a valley which is called Jehosaphat, on the left hand side, where there are vines, and there is also a rock where Judas Iscariot betrayed Christ; but on the right-hand side there is a palm tree, whose branches children carried and laid down when Christ was coming.
Not far from there, about a stone's throw, were built two monumental tombs of marvelous beauty; in one was laid Isaiah the prophet, which is really a slab, and in another Hezekiah, King of the Jews.
From there you go up into the Mount of Olives, where the Lord taught his apostles before his passion; there a basilica was made on Constantine's command.
Not far off from there is a little hill, where the Lord went up to pray and there appeared there Moses and Elijah, when he brought Peter and John with him.
From there to the east about mile and a half is a villa which is called Bethany; there is the crypt where Lazarus was laid, whom the Lord raised.
From Jerusalem to Jericho is 17 miles.
Coming down the mountain on the right hand side behind the tomb is a sycamore tree, in which Zacchaeus went up and he saw Christ.
From the city, about a mile and a half off, there is the fountain of the prophet Elisha.
Before, if any woman drank from that water, she would not have children.
Alongside is the clay vessel of Elisha, he put salt in it and he came and he stood above the water and he said: Thus said the Lord, he has cleaned these waters (2 Kings 2:21).
If some woman drinks from it, she has sons.
Above the fountain as you go along is the house of Rahab the prostitute, to whom the explorers went in and she hid them, when Jericho was overturned, she alone escaped.
There was the city of Jericho was, around whose walls the Israelites went with the Ark of the Covenant and the walls fell down.
From that nothing is left of the place, where the Ark of the Covenant was, but twelve stones which the Israelites carried across the Jordan.
There also Joshua son of Nun circumcised the Israelites. And he buried their foreskins.
From Jericho to the Dead Sea, nine miles.
Its water is extremely bitter, where in the whole there is no kind of fish and no vessel of any kind, and if someone casts himself in so he might swim the very water turns him over.
