In a nutshell
Unique and a must at least once in your life time..
The Wailing Wall (Western Wall)
70 Reviews The most sacred spot in Judaism - the remaining wall of the second temple. A huge plaza (tight security) afronts the place of worship, as orthodox and religious jews congregate throughout the day to pray. As men and women are not allowed to pray together, it is segregated between the genders....
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre
81 Reviews From the outside, one of the most important Christian church and focus for many pilgrmages, fails to impress. This is mainly due to the lack of viewpoint in the old alleyways of the old city - you turn a corner and there it is, a small open plaza leading to the main doors, the dome of the building...
52 Reviews Named after the prophet, the tomb highlights the influence of the Hellenic period. Supposedly the burial place of Zachariah, it is likely to be wrong as the tomb dates from the 1st century BC, whereas Zachariah died in the 6th century BC. Next to the tomb is the Tomb of B'nei Hezir - a burial cave...
23 Reviews Recently revisited this church with our VT Jerusalem 2008 meet, so have placed some better photos, the previous had been taken in the 70's with a Kodak Instamatic....welcome to the digital age ^O^ Found this on the website attached: After the Last Supper, Jesus came to a "place" called Gethsemane....
45 Reviews The claimed route of Jesus as he carried his cross is about an act of faith rather than fact. It is believed that the basis of the route is from the 3rd/4th century when Byzantine priests walked this route between Gethsemane to Calvary on Holy Thursday. Changes to the route did not prevent 'Via...

37 Reviews A bus is the cheapest way to get from Jerusalem to Ben Gurion International Airport. The cost of a one-way ticket to the airport is NIS 23 ($5-6), which includes a free transfer ticket ("kartis hemshekh") for the shuttle that takes you from the junction to the airport itself. There are two airport...
8 Reviews Sherut, the shared taxis are the most convfenient way to go from Tel Aviv airporto to Jerusalem, They are just outside the airport, if you do not see them follow the direction"to Jerusalem", they are minivan and they leave you just in the place where you have to go: hotel bus stop or whatever. The...
7 Reviews With about 30,000 visitors a day, Kenion Malha (officially called Jerusalem Mall) is the most popular shopping centre in Jerusalem. Though not big in size, it does house some good restaurants and shops (over 250) that don't have storefronts in other parts of the city. There is a movie theatre as...
15 Reviews This shop sells much more than jewelry but this site only allows for one choice. What makes this place so special is the family that runs it. First of all, it's been in the same family and in the same location for 384 years!! As a retailer, I can tell you you can't stay in business that long and not...
36 Reviews In Jewish Orthodox synagogues men and women sit separately, usually the men in the hall and the women on the balcony, although other arrangements also exist. As the Wailing Wall also serves as a place of prayer and a synagogue, gender segregation is also practiced there, with separate prayer areas...
21 Reviews Good Friday, the day on which Jesus was crucified, according to the Christian belief, is a festive day in the Old City of Jerusalem. Pilgrims from every continent flock to the Via Dolorosa Church of the Holy Sepulchre. They carry wooden crosses of different sizes, small ones which they hold close...
16 Reviews Dear Fellow Tourist's Visiting Jerusalem, my husband was recently made a victim by a shop keeper in the old City of Jerusalem. The shop keeper charged our credit card as "Maraka Cards, Gifts and Novelities but my husband shopped in a store called "Tower of David Gifts". The shop was located...
3 Reviews This is the place where you stop being a traveller and you start being considered a possible threat. When the hotel receptionjist told me that I should be in the airport 3 hours in advance, I thought: yes as usual but 1 hour and half will be enough. Fortunatly for some reasons we were in the airport...
1 Review I always take a suitcase on wheels. It's a little bumpy on the uneven streets of Old Jerusalem, but better than carrying the load. I was there the end of June and it was very warm, lightweight clothes are a must. Also, I was told to wear a hat and glad I did. You can buy what you forgot. The views...
1 Review take your backpack with you! There is lots of climbing, walking and travelling around to do here! Walking shoes, slippers, light clothes and a sweater, long sleave shirt, trousers or dress for the religious areas and for the evening. Bring along a small medical kit and always have a bottle of...
26 Reviews Queen Helen Coptic Orthodox church is located near the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. It includes one of the ancient sights in Jerusalem. It's a cistern (a water well). It was hewn in the rock and later discovered by Queen Helen, Constantine's mother in the 4th century. It provided water for...
56 Reviews This threatening warnings mark the entrance of the ultra-orthodox neighborhood of Mea Shearim. "To girls and women we beg with our all hearts: Please do not pass through our neighborhood with immodest clothes", then the list of immodest clothes follows. Interesting also to see, in the last sentence,...
3 Reviews Beitar Jerusalem is one of the most famous football clubs in Israel. The club was founded in 1936 and is one of the best football clubs in the country. The local stadium of Beitar Jerusalem is "Teddy Stadium" in malha.
20 Reviews The Dung Gate is also known as Sha'ar Ha'ashpot or Gate of Silwan. The gate is situated near the southeast corner of the Old City, southwest of the Temple Mount. The gate is the closest to the Western Wall and is a main passage for vehicles. Directly behind the gate lies the entrance to the...
The Western Wall (Wailing Wall)
22 Reviews There is a plant between the rocks of the western wall. The name of the plant is Capparis spinosa (in hebrew it is "Tsa'laf"). There is a legend about the plant : When the romans attacked Jerusalem there was a boy called Tsalaf (the hebrew meaning of sniper) that stood on the western wall and...
