Specific reasons could include the birth of a baby, or celebration of a festival day, such as the Passover.
Some pagans felt that it was important to worship all the gods, because if they failed to worship just one god, that god could punish them. These people, known to us as 'God-fearers' travelled across the Roman Empire to Jerusalem just to worship at the city's Temple. God-fearers may have been among the earliest candidates for conversion to Christianity.

What do Christians do in Jerusalem to see where Jesus was crucified?
We do not really know where Jesus was crucified, although the place was called Calvary or Golgotha. Some three hundred years later, Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine went to Jerusalem and found, at least to her own satisfaction, every important relic and place associated with Jesus. She identified, under an important pagan temple, the place where Jesus was crucified and surprisingly nearby, the place where he was buried, immediately under another important pagan temple. She had the temples demolished and a magnificent new church, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre built across both sites. Christian tourists visit this church to see where Helena says that Jesus was crucified and buried.
