Only the author of Luke's Gospel and Acts of the Apostles seems to have considered the notion of Jesus ascending bodily to heaven.

In Luke, the disciples saw Jesus ascend bodily to heaven near Bethany, on the evening of his resurrection.

Although written by the same author, Acts says the disciples saw Jesus ascend bodily to heaven forty days after his resurrection, instead of the evening of the day of his resurrection. Since he had just commanded the disciples not to leave Jerusalem, it can be assumed that this account occurred in Jerusalem.
