What is Bethlehem like now?

Bethlehem is in the West Bank section of the Israeli Occupied Territorial Area (IOTA), generally known as the "Occupied Territories". As Israel has never formally annexed the territories it is not actually in Israel, and people born there do not have Israeli citizenship. Day to day administration is in the hands of the Palestinian Authority, but the town is occupied by Israeli military forces. Jordan (to which Bethlehem belonged until the 1967 Israeli invasion) has relinquished its own claim to the area, preferring that it should become part of an autonomous Palestinian state. So as at the end of 2008 Bethlehem isn't in a country at all, but is controlled by Israel.

Did Mary and Joseph walk or ride to Bethlehem?

If, as Luke's Gospel says, Joseph and Mary travelled from Nazareth to Bethlehem where Jesus was born, they both walked all the way. As a poor village carpenter, Joseph could not have afforded to own or even hire a donkey. Their extreme poverty is demonstrated in Luke 2:24, when they sacrificed two doves instead of the usual lamb, a concession permitted only the very poorest. Even if they knew someone of outstanding generosity, no one would have lent them a donkey, with the serious possibility that Joseph and Mary would not have survived the long and arduous journey to and from Bethlehem.

Although the Gospel does not say, the only plausible answer in the context of Luke's Gospel is that Joseph and Mary both walked, even on the return journey when they carried Jesus.
