One of those places that you must go if you make it to Jerusalem. Clean and serene an experience that will change your life. Experience one of the holiest site in Jewdaism. If you have yet to see it come, dress responsible, and modest. They won't let you in if you're showing too much skin. Also you should act responsible 😉 this is in the end of the day a holy site.

I entered on myself. Once or twice, I was asked either I am Jewish, and then, after I sad NO, I was wished a good day and I was left in peace to do whatever I was willing to. Of cause I was respecting all the rules described at the entrance.

Really a spiritual atmosphere...All about this place is spiritual and religious beliefs... Very nice and clean religious place with some special visuals..... Everyone here are Full of joy, excitement, prayers and hope... It's an amazing Jewish religious place..... very nice place ... A lot of history is behind this place..... An important place of Jews .... Really loved this place....... Absolutely incredible......❤️❤️❤️

The second holy place for the Jewish people

The Western Wall was absolutely one of the most beautiful and exotic places I’ve ever seen! It’s truly a place you should definitely visit if you go to Israel!

You can write your prayers on a scrap of paper and insert it into the holes in the wall. It is an incredibly spiritual place no matter your religion. You will be touched by this place

Recommend to visit when Shabbat starts. Crowded with people dancing and celebrating/praying. It was really special to be in this holy place.

This 2,000-year-old city wall is all the remains of the ancient temple built by Herod. I saw the Wailing Wall, a world cultural heritage, and it was very special that the meaning behind the Jews was truly understood. I saw many Jews come to pray, and I became reverent in my heart when I stood in front of the Wailing Wall .

Absolutely amazing site, connected so much of our Judeo -Christian culture. All day there is not enough to grasp the immense amount of spiritual and historical energy in this place. It's just about the photos, take some time to reflect and meditate, you might get, unexpectedly, the right answer.

Supremely spiritual and powerful experience. Would not consider myself a religious person but in tune with spirit and being a witness Bar Mitzvah celebrations, large groups of prayer, many walks of life. It was the highlight of our 8 day trip to Israel.

A very important historic place and must see if in Jerusalem. The security is very tight but realistic considering the dangers. Many shops with in a small distance.

It didn't make the impression on me that I had imagined, but it was nice. Worth a look once.

One the holiest places on Earth for Jews. Hard to describe the feeling, atmosphere, impressions that surrounds you while trying to go back thousand years in time. Usually crowded, quite frequently a bit overcrowded because of tourists, yet magical, mysterious place. Must see to believe. (PS: it'd deserve 10*).

Regardless of your religion or upbringing, this place is a sight to behold. You’ll briefly pass through security and enter into a small promenade. You’ll see the wall. Although I didn’t know this, its a custom to not turn your back on the wall. Try to follow it. Getting to walk up to the wall in a city which is arguably responsible for the start of time is a truly humbling experience. Any message that you write and place in the wall is supposed to be read by God himself. If you are agonistic or atheist, you can appreciate the history and cultural significance of this wall. You will be humbled. If you are religious, you can appreciate the holy magnetism of this site. You will be humbled. Try to make some time to go and visit this amazing site.

This place is very special. It’s one of my favorite places in Jerusalem. It’s a great place to connect and pray to God and interact with the people. If you’re tourist: This is a top attraction for many tourist. It is located in the old city in the Jewish quarter. This place is considered the holiest site in Judaism. It is the remaining wall that was in the court yard which surrounded the second temple. If you decide to go the wall and pray, men go on one side and the woman go on the other. All men are required to wear a kippah or a head covering like a hat. There is a information booth before you get to the wall.

Beautiful place of worship that no one should miss. After passing the security check point, you will get to the main plaza and from there you can observe the remaining part of the ancient retaining western wall of the old Jewish temple that is used now for reading of scripture, meditation and prayer. There is a different section for man and woman. For man, anyone can visit it without charge. Washing your hands and wearing a kippa is recommended. Wonderful experience to see how other faiths worship and understand God. Highly recommend.

safe and everything in order, it’s an interesting place to visit, even you are not a believer. It’s a unique site of the world. Convenient to visit, security check is everywhere, soldiers are around. Nothing to worry about. It’s also easy to find a toilet and changing room.

Ana amazing place to go and speak to god regardless of which one you believe in . You can help but feel emotional and start crying almost in a sense that you are home. It's an amazing experience and I highly recommend visiting this holy sight in your trip through israel ... a definite must see

Most beautiful architecture, very user friendly with audio visual recordings. The chronological arrangement and the flow is well thought out. Picturesque views of Jerusalem at the end of the memorial. Would definitely like to visit again, with more tissues of course.

I visited this place with friends, you should prepare yourself very well emotionally and spiritually, it's not like any museum, the way it design is really unique and the narrative meanwhile the diversity of the contents,the way they present in the same time the politics aspects. I hope this place will be more open to accepting people from different perspectives and religions. The location of this place is provocative for some people and neighbors, that's what I heard.

It will never be possible to understand how such evil existed. This place takes you on a journey through time and year after year reveals the events that led to it. This is a rare and humane record of the atrocities that took place, and of the starvation that took place. This is a visit you should not miss. It will definitely make you think about human nature and the things it is capable of doing to other human beings.

Nobody can miss it! There are a lot of real videos, pictures, belongings and statements by survivors. Spare 3 to 4 hours to spend there. The whole experience is just amazing and very touchy. I suggest you leave the children's memorial to the end. I got there by tram + short walk. Quick, easy and cheap. Entrance to the museum is free but you need to book in advance. Map is 12 nis and I suggest you buy it. If you are blessed like me, you will meet a lovely lady who is a survivor and she will explain the map to you.

Yad Vashem: Will be one of the Most Historical, Beautiful, Educational, Somber and Sorrowful Places You Could EVER Visit. As if Learning about the Holocaust wasn't enough; This Place puts everything you ever learned about the Holocaust into a WHOLE Different Perspective and I couldn't Stop Crying The whole time. I was enveloped with every photograph, every sound, letter, artifact, diary, projections on the walls, music; even others walking around with hands over their mouths to muffle their cries. This place puts your Mind back into another time in World History, where Millions of innocent Lives were Taken. A must visit museum for every person on the planet. The horrible history our not that distant ancestors experienced must not be forgotten and learned in the near and distant future. One of the most incredible museums about the holocaust I've ever been to. So many objects, statements, information, etc. You need to book your visit in advance, due to this museum is sooooo busy, you not going to be able to get access without a previous booking. Only 15 minutes from Jerusalem's city centre it is a great opportunity to see a big collection of one event we hope that it never happens again.

Outstanding. A must see if you come to Israel. The museum has a terrific, modern architecture with plenty of significance. The displays are in chronological order. I thought I knew a lot about the Holocaust and found out I knew very little. The displays are super powerful.

Not your usual museum experience. It's so captivating, riveting and horrific. Lots to see and very intense, well worth a visit.

A must visit museum for every person on the planet. The horrible history our not that distant ancestors experienced must not be forgotten and learned in the near and distant future. The visit takes around two hours and includes lots of exhibits, interview with survivors ands lots of interesting reading materials. The building itself is very impressive and the view in the end is mesmerizing. Note that you must have a green pass to enter.

A must for everyone. It is an educational visit. Budget ample time. It isn’t easy. But it’s necessary for Jew and non Jew alike. There are no tickets or admission fees. But they will hand you and entry permit. Take Herzl exit in light rail (end of the line) and either catch a free shuttle or walk down road. 10 min max walk.

Very impressive and interesting telling of the story and terrible history of the holocaust. Inside is a lot of information and outside it's very nice to walk around. All trees are a memorial to someone who helped Jewish people during the time.

Very strong and shocking museum about the holocaust. The entry is free, but must to register for a timeslot on the website.

To See Their Shoes, Suitcases, Jewelry, Clothing, Journals, Letters, Photographs and Many More Items; Just took my Breath Away. MILLIONS of INNOCENT Lives Murdered!

Beautiful experience, i recommend it if you're visiting Jerusalem!

Old Jerusalem is a fascinating location that had historical relations with many of the world's religions. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is one of those locations within the walls, and was very interesting. I would strongly suggest that guests either book a tour or research this (and other locations) to have a better understanding of the historical traditions of each location.

Wow... a great church with tons of history. Do the guided tour, you will learn a lot.

The most holy place for christianity. History can be touched and seen here in every place inside the church and the many chapels inside. It can take a long time to reach the tomb of jesus if there are lot of people. Take your camera with you to this church since it's an amazing enviernment

As an Jerusalem Tour Guide this is a must stop for Christians. You may need at least one good hour to understand the whole site. You may one hour or more in line to get into the Jesus Tomb.

I was really impressed by this Great Monumental and historical Building. Wish everyone could ever see in their life.

Quiet crowded. There are several different churches that have areas inside of this church. And if you happen to be there during one of these worshiping ceremonies, the crowd will be much larger and you will simply have to forgo visiting some of the areas. I would never attempt to visit this place without a guide. There is just simply so much that has and is, taking place in this holy place that you could never comprehend or understand without some level of guidance.

Beautiful place to visit. Make sure you bring your own info pack, to understand what your seeing and history, as they don't sell brochures.

Place of Grace and blessings. It's the dwelling place, a place of peace and prayer

A place filled with history, and for some, with spirituality and pure emotions. Unfortunately, let down by the byzantinoid behaviors of the people looking after it, and of many of the people visiting it. Quite filthy, literally. Good to see it once in a life time, but not the place to quietly meditate and pray time and time again. A shame, because it could be much better.

I’m a Christian and a priest-in-training, and this just wasn’t for me in terms of finding a connection with Jesus or feeling close to God. I can appreciate the craftsmanship of the building, and the significance of the site, but for so many reasons I felt sad and anguished in this place. Worth a visit, but leaves you with much to reflect on. There were many other places on pilgrimage that left me breathless. The Holy Sepulchre was unfortunately not one of them.

For the historical and religious history, get this on your bucket list. Read up on the City of David first and you won't need a tour guide. Stay close to it and enjoy a leisure walk. There are 44k people who live nd work inside the city. It's a city within a city. See where Christ walked along the Roman stones, see the place where Abraham was to sacrifice his son and the place where Christ died, his prison, where is He isn aid to rest. The Western Wall, the split between the Muslims and Jews. A place to add to your bucket list for sure! You may make a donation because it's free to enter. Tips: Ladies: no exposed skin and wear a head cover.

Really mixed feelings about this place. You really need a guide to understand this place. We had one which made it tolerable. Otherwise we would not have understood what we were looking at. The hole where the crucifix was placed into the rock... It's under a table. We crawled under and saw and felt the hole, all thanks to our guide. Otherwise we would have totally missed this. The church is full of niches, parts, i don't know what you call them. It's sort of a mess. Have a guide to explain. We're glad we visited. We don't plan on returning.

A must-see of Jerusalem, a place full of history and spirituality. Take a moment to explore and admire its many chambers, as well as to recollect in tranquillity.

This is a must see, truly emotional experience. The church closes at 8:30pm and is really busy in the afternoon. Try to target early morning or after 7:30pm for less traffic.

Read the Gospel, then walk through the Way of the His Passion..enter the Holy Sepulchre, and breathe the very air that Jesus Christ was present with

Talk about an experience that will tear through your soul. This museum tour will change your worldview for the better. Highly recommended. Your not supposed to take pictures but I feel the whole World needs to experience this..so forgive me.

Amazing place, especially the indoor-outdoor flow. Loved the Shrine of the Book and the model of the Second Temple and the Old City! A absolute must-see while in J’lem!

This was the most impressive museum we have ever been to! We enjoyed it so much we went twice during our time in Jerusalem! Thinking we were just going to see important Israeli artifacts, we were extremely surprised to see archaeological remains from around the world, painting a picture of the evolution of civilization. There were also Jewish displays of life and art, modern and contemporary art from around the world, and the most amazing outdoor display of a replica of Jerusalem’s Old City during the time of The Second Temple. The biggest treat were The Dead Sea Scrolls, which I did not know much about until seeing this exhibit. Excellent collection!

The Israel Museum in Jerusalem is a great experience to visit. Huge place with a lot of exhibitions. I highly recommend to visit the Shrine of the book where you can find a significant exhibition of The Dead Sea Scrolls and Qumram.

This was a highlight of our trip. It's a huge museum with lots of various exhibits with various themes and overall, it's very well done. It is very big though, and directions to certain exhibits weren't as clear as we'd hope so we did waste some time looking around for things as it's not labeled well. With that said, there's a lot to see and learn about. The must see is the Shrine of the Book where you can see the Dead Sea Scrolls and Qumran. There are a lot of archaeological artifacts all throughout this massive place and so getting here early in the day is advised so you can see as much as you want without having to rush. When we were there, they had replicas of various old synagogues from different corners of the world and it was very interesting. I could ramble on and on about everything there is to do there, but it's forever changing, so when you know you're going to the area, look up what they have showing and head to those exhibits first. Based on the fact that there's so much to take in and exhibits that change often, this is definitely a place you can come to several times. There's a beautiful gift shop at the exit (of course) and I can't really speak to parking much as we took a taxi there and back, but definitely be sure not to miss out on a visit here when you're in Jerusalem.

A must go for all visiting Jerusalem. The synagogues from around the world are incredible, the shrine of the book is unique, and the different temporary exhibits are great. This is also a kid friendly museum. It's open on shabbat which is the best, and the cafe with excellent coffee is also open on shabbat, one of the few in Jerusalem. It's not a quick walk there without Public transit, but it is worth it.

I can't believe I have lived in Israel for 27 years and it took me this long to visit this incredible museum. I felt connected to the powerful history of this important city in a way that I never had before. I needed more time to explore than I realized that I would and I will return soon.

We reached there late, just 1 hour before closing time so was not able to see much thing. The Musuem people asked us to leave by 4 45 itself. I suggest if you are planning go to the Musuem be try to have enough time. Where we went it was looking good and they have maintained it well.

Everything you want to know about Israel's history is in the museum. Dead Sea Scrolls, pottery jars, mosaics, money, ossuary boxes, bones, (including a heel bone with a nail through it - think Crucification). An excellent museum.

Spectacular Museum. Fascinating exhibits. The dead sea scroll exhibit is really interesting.

Must stop if you are in Jerusalem. The artifacts are amazing. Unfortunately you can't take pictures inside the museum itself. There is plenty to see and you can get a sense od Israel's history.

It's an amazing place! Delved not only in its own but all who inhabited and were near by. There was a great deal to see. If anything - start very early as you can be there all day! Free audio guide and roaming chairs included. Many sights/activities that are kid oriented with a neat 'Under the Ocean' themed area to make them conscious about the planet.

Disappointed with the amount of fake mosaics and other things in the museum. While the model of the second temple is interesting, it reminds me of the miniatures in Lego Land. But biggest disappointment was with the Dead Sea Scrolls. You can’t take a picture in there despite the fact that what’s there is also a fake (which is politely termed a facsimile). Overall, the amount of fake items completely detracts from the visit.

My visit to the Israel Museum was a remarkable journey through history, culture, and art. The museum's expansive collection impressed me with its range, covering everything from ancient archaeological finds to modern artworks. The Shrine of the Book, which houses the Dead Sea Scrolls, was an absolute highlight, offering a profound glimpse into the past. What stood out to me was the thoughtfully curated layout of the museum. The thematic arrangement of exhibits made it easy to explore different aspects of Israeli heritage and global artistic achievements. The attention to detail in each display was evident, allowing me to learn and appreciate the significance of each artifact. The outdoor Billy Rose Sculpture Garden was a serene retreat, offering a unique blend of nature and art. I found it to be a perfect place to reflect after my indoor explorations. Additionally, the museum's educational initiatives and engaging workshops showcase their commitment to fostering learning and creativity. The staff's knowledge and passion were evident, as they readily shared insights and answered questions, enhancing my overall experience. The museum's location in Jerusalem, surrounded by the beautiful landscape, added to the charm. Visiting the Israel Museum was not just a visit to a museum; it was an immersive dive into history, culture, and artistry. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an art lover, or simply curious about the world, this museum offers an exceptional and enlightening experience that should not be missed.

Many expositions, occasional activities for children and nice garden. If you are not interested in particular exposition, but want to see all, 3 hours is not enough.

The scale model of first century Jerusalem is with the visit. It’s spectacular. Very disappointed in the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit; was hoping to see an actual scroll, not just a facsimile. The artifact exhibits were ok, but far short of what I expected given the richness of biblical archaeology in Israel.

安息日(土曜日)に行ったせいか、ベビーカーや幼児を連れたファミリーが多かった。出生率3を超える国らしく、子供に寛容な国民性を感じられた。犬を連れている人もいて、一緒に入れる。 展示はさすが国立博物館といった感じで、ユダヤ教関連の展示は圧巻だ。 聖書写本やディアスポラ各地の文化、トーラーは特に興味深い。 イスラームやギリシャの展示も想像以上に充実している。 古代メソポタミアのガラス技術には驚いた。 現代アートの館も展示が多く、特に死海の塩のアートが面白い。 隣接のショップもおすすめ。 (Translated by Google) Perhaps because we went on the Sabbath (Saturday), there were many families with strollers and young children. As you would expect from a country with a birth rate of over 3, I felt the national character was tolerant towards children. Some people bring their dogs with them, so we let them in with them. The exhibits have the feel of a national museum, and the exhibits related to Judaism are overwhelming. Biblical manuscripts, cultures from various parts of the diaspora, and the Torah are of particular interest. The exhibits on Islam and Greece are also more extensive than I expected. I was amazed by the glass technology of ancient Mesopotamia. The contemporary art museum also has many exhibits, and the Dead Sea salt art is particularly interesting. The adjacent shops are also recommended.

This is an absolute must see venue. The expansive, well documented display cases with adequate room to comfortably view and study. This place multistory so plan on several hours of enjoyment and learning. We need to go back a second time! The mosaics are beautiful.

Such an amazing spot to visit. The views over Jerusalem from the top are incredible. The hike up is steep and takes some time, but is definitely worth it. The views are especially amazing during sunset.

Great place to see Al Quds.

Probably the least confusing of the political and religious sites in Jerusalem. Relatively calm, with a fascinating views of Jerusalem.

Great spot to enjoy the view of Jerusalem. I recommend to visit after 4:30 pm, because I went around 3pm and the sun was to heavy. I think is necessary a place to buy drinks in the area

This is a really interesting place to visit. Having read a lot of the history about this place and seen both the films about Jesus, series Jesus of Nazareth and the 2017 series The Real Jesus of Nazareth, it was great to actually visit where Robert Powell went in the series for myself. It’s a unique experience even if you are not that religious. There is a lot of history in this area. It’s a bit of a walk from the city, especially walking up from Gethsemane to the top. The views are fantastic, you can see right over the city and clearly see how the old city used to look. If you go to Jerusalem, walking up to Seven Arches ( the actual location of the top ) is a must.

The best spot to see the old Jerusalem. The sunset view is amazing. The old jerusalem Panorama is breathtaking. It's a must place to visit. The Church of Ascension is also located here.

We walk from the old city .. took the steps all the way up .. Great vantage point to see the city.. . If you don't feel like walking you can catch a city bus outside the Damascus gate. ( find bus route/ directions on google maps ) that will take you to the top of mt of Olive to the Vantage point.

It's worth a drive or an organized taxi ride to cover the sights nearby.

"The Mount of Olives offers breathtaking views of Jerusalem's Old City and is a sacred site for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. It's a must-visit spot for its rich history and serene atmosphere, including the Garden of Gethsemane and the Chapel of the Ascension. Come see the beauty and significance of this holy mountain."

This is where you get the iconic photo of old city Jerusalem. It is in walking distance from old city, just exit from lion gate and walk up the hill. Taxi will cost you about 10 usd but since it is about a half an hour walk I recommend walking. There is also a viewing area specifically for taking the photos

Amazing view, can see Al-Aqsa is all it's glory. Be prepared if you plan to walk up as it gets quite steep. Also met a lot of media up there as well as they use this backdrop often.

From here you can oversee the entire city of Jerusalem. It's a beautiful spot to be. This view is just incredible and to see the historic places from above is really special. You won't regret it to come to this Place. It has a lot to offer.

The Mount of Olives provides a panoramic view of Jerusalem at the base of the groves of olive trees. The Mount of Olives is named for the olive groves that once covered its slopes. The southern part of the mount was the Silwan necropolis, attributed to the elite of the ancient Kingdom of Judah. The mount has been used as a Jewish cemetery for over 3,000 years and holds approximately 150,000 graves, making it central in the tradition of Jewish cemeteries. There are several key events in the life of Jesus, as related in the Gospels, that took place on the Mount of Olives, and in the Acts of the Apostles it is described as the place from which Jesus ascended to heaven. Very powerful site.

I wanna go here in Jesus name, this is where Jesus ascended into heaven Acts 1:9-12 and this is where he'll come back Zechariah Ch 14. Hallelujah Glory to God 🔥🦁🕊️ please get to have a relationship with Jesus before that dread and terrible day of the Lord. John 14:6, John 3:16, Romans 10:9, Romans 10:13. 👌🏾

There’s no need to mention the million reasons for visiting Jerusalem. There is, however, good enough reason to mention this beautiful mountain ridge right outside the city. The Mount of Olives, so named for the olive groves that once dotted its slopes, is East Jerusalem’s most prominent point, towering over 800 meters above sea level. This holy site is associated with Islam, Judaism and Christianity, and has been used as a place of prayer and burial since the days of the First Temple. The mountain provides breathtaking views of Jerusalem and beyond – you can enjoy the panorama from the observation platform at the peak. Go for the Sunset views!

One of those places that you must go if you make it to Jerusalem. Clean and serene an experience that will change your life. Experience one of the holiest site in Jewdaism. If you have yet to see it come, dress responsible, and modest. They won't let you in if you're showing too much skin. Also you should act responsible 😉 this is in the end of the day a holy site.

I entered on myself. Once or twice, I was asked either I am Jewish, and then, after I sad NO, I was wished a good day and I was left in peace to do whatever I was willing to. Of cause I was respecting all the rules described at the entrance.

Really a spiritual atmosphere...All about this place is spiritual and religious beliefs... Very nice and clean religious place with some special visuals..... Everyone here are Full of joy, excitement, prayers and hope... It's an amazing Jewish religious place..... very nice place ... A lot of history is behind this place..... An important place of Jews .... Really loved this place....... Absolutely incredible......❤️❤️❤️

The second holy place for the Jewish people

Ana amazing place to go and speak to god regardless of which one you believe in . You can help but feel emotional and start crying almost in a sense that you are home. It's an amazing experience and I highly recommend visiting this holy sight in your trip through israel ... a definite must see

The entrance to the church is through a garden with olive trees that are a thousand years old. It is believed that Jesus was arrested for crucifixion from this garden. The church is beautiful and a quiet place where you can sit for some time before heading to the mount of olives.

Interesting to see the place that was written about in the New Testament. Seeing the Olive trees and the garden gives you perspective and allows you take thoughts back to the time when Jesus walked in Jerusalem. The garden is not that big. There are crowds that are there as it is very popular. There are plenty of photo opportunities. Its a must stop in Jerusalem if you prefer to walk in the footsteps of Jesus.

Amazing garden where Jesus of Nazareth prayed before being crucified. Beautiful ancient olive trees, though none are old enough to have been there with Jesus.

Again this is one place that you CANNOT miss on your trip to Israel. It's where JESUS sweated blood- because HE knew the immense suffering (the Cup of Suffering) HE was about to endure. JESUS CHRIST was praying to HIS FATHER & the Disciples kept falling asleep & HE asked them could you not stay & pray with me even for one hour? Very significant place at these 2000 year old Olive trees. 🫒

Such an amazing location. View of old Jerusalem and had some of the oldest Olive Trees in the world.

Such a remarkable experience being able to see so many things that Jesus saw. We had an amazing mass and shared prayer on the stone that he once prayed on.

Beautiful garden and church. Very spiritual place to visit. To imagine that Jesus Christ set foot on this place before his crucifixion is very humbling. Take the time to absorb the wonder and significance of this place. A must visit for Christians coming to Jerusalem.

There is no way to explain how standing, praying and worshipping in the place where Jesus prayed before his betrayal makes you feel. Knowing he was praying for strength to be our sacrifice to save us. It’s amazing. A must for any Christian to visit.

Free entrance, Make it very early before the tourist groups descend and If you visit this garden. You could also visit “Domnius Flevit” church. Where christ wept over Jerusalem.

Beautiful Olive Tree garden outside the historic Church of all Nations near the Mount of Olives. The garden is filled with ancient olive trees and is a place of peace and rest. The garden is at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem where, according to the four Gospels of the New Testament, Jesus underwent the agony in the garden and was arrested before his crucifixion. Breathtaking location in Israel.

I am on a 14 Day Journey of the Believer tour and it has been absolutely WONDERFUL. Visiting the sites where Jesus walked and taught. Trip of a lifetime🙏🙏🙏

This private garden area, with its view of Jerusalem, provides a poignant perspective on its biblical importance. The Barluzzi architecture of the church is somber with a touch of hope. Amazing when you compare/contrast with his Church of the Transfiguration.

This place is located on the property of All Nations church. The trees aren’t old enough to have witnessed the agony of Christ that night he was arrested as the guide in the church reads. The foot of the mount of Olives is quit large so how do they know this is the exact location anyways. Also the garden is gated and tourist try reaching over the gate to steal olive branches from the trees. To me this is a shrine, didn’t feel holy at all. If you would like to go to a place that is more like what the garden would have been like and gives you freedom to walk around and enjoy, plus has a great view of the Temple Mount and old city, go up the hill to Dominus Flevit Church. It was much more peaceful there.

A must see if you are in Jerusalem. Beautiful surroundings. Great presentation by our guide. She presented compelling evidence that points to the Garden Tomb being the actual place where Jesus was executed, buried and rose from the grave!

Absolutely AMAZING!! The GARDEN TOMB is probably the NUMBER 1 place to visit on your trip to Israel 🇮🇱, in Jerusalem. To sit quietly in these beautiful gardens & to have HOLY COMMUNION is SUPER SPECIAL!! To go INSIDE & SEE the EMPTY TOMB & to KNOW our SAVIOUR & our MESSIAH IS ALIVE!! Hallelujah!! This was one of the Highlights of our trip - DO NOT MISS IT!! There is also very good & knowledgeable guides (missionaries) from the UK, that gave us such wonderful insight on the events that took place in that particular area as well as in Jerusalem. Highly recommended to ask these tour guides to explain & to give some context to the events that took place there a couple of thousand years ago!! As we were praying, praising & worshipping JESUS CHRIST & having HOLY COMMUNION we became SO aware of the HOLY SPIRIT - we couldn't hold back the tears ...

Beautiful place for reflection. Since there are not many tourists around Israel right now it was an unusually quiet and peaceful area.

Although there is no absolute certainty that this was, in fact, the tomb where Jesus was laid and from which he rose, its internal structure is exactly the same as that described in Holy Scripture. The place is wonderfully well maintained. When in Jerusalem, a visit to this place is a must. Beautiful and exciting!

Beautiful place. Clearly there is no claim that this the actual place, but it still is a better insight into what an actual tomb would have looked like than the holy sepulchre with all it’s trappings. A ‘thin’ place.

Just a must to see where Jesus was crucified. The tomb from which He has risen! Beautiful parc and places to just be in prayer and spend time with our Lord!

Just a must to see where Jesus was crucified. The tomb from which He has risen. This is a place of prayer. Has a beautiful garden. Archaeological heritage of the first century is in this garden such as tombs, water cellars, ancient winepresses. Reading the bible verses and exploring this place are chill to the bone. I saw this hill that looks like a skull. This tomb behind it. Peaceful garden in Jerusalem that contains the tomb of Jesus. Located just outside the city walls of Jerusalem you will find The Garden Tomb, a possible location for the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus. The local tour guide explained the history of the Tomb and the garden. The area of the tomb is open for visitors to see. Near to the Damascus Gate and standing in the shadow of Skull Hill you will find this beautiful garden with its ancient empty tomb. The gardens are beautiful and peaceful with many chapels throughout with people praying and singing.

No matter if this is a specific historic spot it is a great representation of a stone hill next to a garden in which a garden tomb was built. They did not claim to be the actual spot of Jesus's burial but that it could have been based on the time period of the place and what has been found. Early traditions point to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre as the actual site but this site gives you more of a feeling of how it would have actually looked in the first century. We also were able to have a lovely worship service with communion at the site.

Highly qualified guides do a great job of presenting the evidence that this is the actual site of the crucifixion, burial, and resurrection of Christ. The grounds are beautifully maintained and there are multiple sites for group meetings for lectures. Group admissions are regulated so that the grounds don’t become crowded. You can enter and view the Garden Tomb.

One of my favorite experiences in all Jerusalem! This place didn’t feel like a shrine or place of idol worship. I could experience God here, and the power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ! Very peaceful place of honor to remember the Greatest Day in the history of the world! Also a great place to get holy anointing oil.

Very different feel that the hustle and bustle of the sites in Jerusalem. Very quiet and solemn. Guide was very direct on Jesus' purpose and the gospel was spoken-Hallelujah! Seems a lot more probable than other sites in Jerusalem.

A place that gives the idea of Jesus burial and resurrection. Church of holy sepulchre is the other place but much busier there. Beside garden Tomb we were able to have communion

It's really a beautiful place to be with Christians from all over the world coming in to see historical sites, holder short services, and sharing communion. The guides are so welcoming, no gate pass, you just need to give a token to charity on your way out. Lots of gifts and souvenirs also from the gift shop.

This place has wonderful gardens. The roses smelled amazing, full of scent. Coming from America I rarely smell roses with any scent at all. My only regret was not being able to stay here longer and just enjoy the sweet presence of worship that fills this place.

Pontius Pilate palace and the place where Jesus was condemned & flogged. A historical place with real meaning if you are a follower of Christ. Beautifully looked after and plenty of information and as most historical landmarks in Jerusalem, free to enter.

Out of all the holy sites in Jerusalem I found this and the church of the flaggilation to be the most easy to connect with the story of Jesus's crucifixion and resurrection.

Very interesting place full of stories and history

This church is the start of Via Dolorosa , believed to be where Jesus Christ was condemned to die on the cross.

Beautiful church and the third station of the cross.

The Church of the Condemnation in Jerusalem is a solemn and evocative place that invites reflection on the final moments of Jesus' life. Its striking architecture and sacred atmosphere create a somber ambiance. The church marks the site where Jesus was condemned by Pontius Pilate. Walking through its halls, one can't help but feel a deep connection to the historical events that unfolded there. The church's religious significance and historical importance make it a must-visit for those seeking to delve into the profound story of Christ's crucifixion.

A beautiful church that is part of the viacrusis ( Via Dolorosa ) of Christ. You’re more than welcome to pray and get connected with God.

I was alone and fortunate to be the first person through for the day. The decent to the tunnel through the old city of David was a fun trek. The trip through the tunnel was fantastic. Water was between knee and waist deep. I made it through in 15 minutes, and at the end the lock to the gate was broken (someone overnight had tried to pick it with wood). They had to bring in a grinder to cut the lock! Quite the experience. A must do for anyone who is OK with tight spaces, darkenss, and getting wet. Bring a headlamp as you don't want to reply on your cellphone light.

It's all about telling us the accuracy of the biblical narrative written in 2Kings 20:20; 2Chronicles 32:3,4,30 and in John 9:7.Its beautiful.

We did self-guided tour because we had less than 60 mins. Plenty of plaques to read but would be better with a guide. Tickets to the 3D movie sold separately. It’s not an intuitive setup. Also it was a hassle to find the place (we took bus 1 from Jaffa center which gets close but there’s a lot of construction to navigate). We had heard to bring sandals for walking in 500 m of water, but if you don’t, you have the option of the dry walk. The water tunnel was a unique experience and worth doing if you’re not claustrophobic, sick, jumpy, pregnant, or in any way compromised, because it is after all a long dark wet tunnel. At the end you have to walk up a long hill back to the museum center. We had trouble leaving the place because all the construction delayed the busses. Would be five stars if we carved out the time for a guided tour and didn’t hassle to find and leave the place.

Too much to cover in one morning visit. Would like to spend a lot more time there.

Outstanding experience - both historically and adventurous. You can buy water shoes and lights at the entrance, do not bother to bring them.

Oh boy! What an experience this tunnel turned out to be! 500 meters long, completely dark and your feet constantly in water rising till your knees at some point. You do not want to miss out on this adventurous side of Jerusalem!

Super crazy experience. As we went through the wet tunnel, my review will only cover this part. If you are afraid of tight and crowded spaces, I recommend not to take this tour. Otherwise it’s a truly unique experience walking through an ancient tunnel without any light other than your smartphone or flashlight. Also the tunnel is super narrow and at times forces you to stoop. It will take you approximately half an hour to get through.

If you get claustrophobic, this is definitely something you want to avoid. If you don't, it is AMAZING!! The bottom of the tunnel is rocky so definitely wear shoes that you don't mind getting wet. The water levels fluctuate depending on the time of year, as well. We went in March and the highest point of water hit mid-thigh (I'm 5'3) for a small portion then was about mid-shin the rest of the way. At my height I only had to lower my head once, but everyone taller than me had to duck for maybe half the tunnel.

We took wet tonel and it was around 40-50 mins in very very cold water up till your knees and sometimes ever more and people screaming and shouting behind us. There is no way out if you started to walk so you have to do it all. If people are moving slow you have to do the same. In front of us there was a mother with a baby and she was quite scared of the narrow tunnel so we were moving slow all together. In 15 mins out feet were freezing nevertheless it was 40 degrees outside. Didn’t enjoy the wet route at all. I would appreciate if someone explained what to expect before entering.

Summer time if you want play cold water and adventure you can come to City of David to enjoy happy hours!

This is a great market for a variety of local foods and drinks, as well as a few other things, but mainly food and drink in abundant variations - check the photos. As well as stalls selling food, there are various restaurants, cafes and bars to drop by. The market is not too big, easy enough for a stroll around and makes a nice walk, on the sunshine from the old town.

Maybe the most colorful markets in Israel (and one of the most in the world). People come here to buy food, to eat, to have drink with friends or just enjoy the atmosphere. Restaurants, bars, special vibe especially on Friday's noon which is very packed. Have attached light train station.

This is a diverse and varied market that at some points in the week, can be chaotic and fun!! You get all the vibes, all the music and the people are friendly!! You’ll try food you never had before as well as classics traditional to israel and food from around the world. These pics are from a recent trip! The market is foodie heaven

Fun experience with a wide variety of things to see, smell and try. Many locals come to buy their fruits and groceries here which gives you a hint at the quality. After about 100 meters in, you have the "copy paste" of the previous stalls, just slightly differently decorated. Worth a visit for the experience. When ordering, be sure to give a requested weight of what you want to order, otherwise they will fill your bags and you will end up paying more than you perhaps expected i.e. With nuts and seeds

One of my favorite places in Jerusalem to start a day trip in this special city. Walking through the market, grabbing a cup of coffee and buying some fresh baked goods and other stuff. Highly recommended!

Local Farmer's Market of Jerusalem. The freshest produce, cheeses, meats, poultry and baked goods. Lots of bars and hole in the wall eateries. From traditional to exotic. It's where most of the locals shop. If, like me, you're into and like to explore bazaars and local Farmer's Markets, then you have to experience this one. Prepare to spend couple of hours. Especially if you plan to sit and enjoy some fine eateries, wine and cheese shops.

Crowed but it’s where to feel the real life of Jerusalem. Food there is diversified and bars have incredible atmosphere

One of the best markets I have been to in Israel. Extremely clean, and the place sells such a huge variety of items (fresh fruits, dried fruits, fish, sweets such as halva and baklava). There are many food options in or around the market, so it is a good place to grab some lunch or a bite if you are hungry. Definitely a good place to buy some Israeli snacks home

This is a diverse and varied market that at some points in the week, can be chaotic and fun!! You get all the vibes, all the music and the people are friendly!! This is a great market for a variety of local foods and drinks, as well as a few other things, but mainly food and drink in abundant variations. Great market with good selection of food options and little delicacies to taste. Had a sabich and a pita falafel to go. Do visit this place if you are in Jerusalem and want to get a vive of the lively and the biggest marketplace in the area. It stays closed on Saturday.

This location is one of the 'MUST visit' locations that I found while visiting Jerusalem. The marketplace has everything from a variety of foods ...to clothing, and even if you don't buy anything - this is an amazing opportunity to walk around and see some of the vibrancy, and friendliness that make Jerusalem a wonderful place to visit.

A kaleidoscope of color, aroma, taste, sound and touch. A feast for the senses. Well worth a slow wander around, trying various tidbits on offer, making select purchases, stopping for an aromatic coffee and fresh pastry. An easy walk from anywhere around central Jerusalem, or catch the light rail.

Usually completely crowded, this market is where you experience the city. Everything here screams authenticity and makes you want to come back for more. The food selection is diverse as well as the bars all over the market.

Obsessdd with this market in Jerusalem, so many delicious food options. The bakeries are incledible. You will also find a lot of snacks, fruits stands, clothing, souvenirs, bars. Different vibe at night, the market transforms into a fun place to hang out, have a bite and drinks.

The place is authentic, a deep connection to the historical and Jewish past, a fascinating archaeological gem, clean and explanatory signs that make the site clearly accessible. A great experience of driving a quality Segway. In an amazing view of Jerusalem with pleasant professional and responsible guides. Jerusalem's story on the tip of the fork with professionalism and empathy.

Jerusalem Walls National Park Beautiful views

Jerusalem - E - Sheikh St

Not allowed on the grass. It is between St. Peter's church and the Zions gate. Not so much a park as it is an unexcavated patch of land.

One of the place you must visit. But have good guide who can explain a lot

Don't really understand the appeal here, seemed like just a scenic path.

Reccomended. Most beautiful city in the world!! Jerusalem of gold

Nice walk on the old Jerusalem wall

It is a really nice hostel with helpful staff They are friendly and nice to help all the stuff and questions , which help a lot And the room for dorm is in traditional stone , it is so cool ( a bit cold at night ) And good to go up to the rooftop to see the night view of Jerusalem , it is really beautiful and amazing ! All the best to the Jaffa Gate hostel ! And it is in a convenient location !

Lovely cosy hostel in the heart of the old city and with easy access to all the main sights! The rooms are beautiful with stone walls and ceilings. The staff are kind, welcoming and very helpful. The rooms are great value for money and are cleaned daily. there is also a roof terrace with beautiful views over the city. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Hi there me and my partner would like to stay at your hostel in March but out flight isn’t due to land in Tel-aviv until 21:15. We are just concerned we won’t be with you before 23:00 Is it possible for us to check in between 23:00 and 00:00

Ok how to start, pros: the staff was very helpful and friendly. The hostel is in an unbeatable location at Jaffa's gate. The price is very affordable considering where it is. It has very nice views at the second floor and you can hear the call to prayer from the minaret and the bells from the churches. The cons: WiFi is only available at the ground floor. The rooms are made of rock which is nice but terribly cold in winter. The staff provide us a heater superfast when we mention it. The toilet in the room was functional but maybe for some people it would not fit their standards. Dustier than other places I have been and maybe the beds are not the best. If you look for a central, functional place with nice people running it and you are in a badget but want to be in the old city this is your place. Also somehow and on the romantic side it was a nice experience to be here. Notice that maybe is not the best place to go with kids or elders.

Look, I'm not into posting bad reviews usually, but this place needs to get it together. The beds were horrible, the sheets, pillows and blankets were just disgusting. I asked for different ones but they all were the same. They do not clean the place at all. Just the floors. My room was so dusty that I sneezed all night and my eyes itched so bad. Zero sleep here. Internet is in lobby only. The boss was nice, but his worker kept charging me more than the boss did, then pocketed the extra, and told me not to tell him. Sheesh.

Jaffa Gate Hostel has great location, we stayed for two nights on July 7th and 8th, and were supposed to be for 4 more days from the 23rd to the 27, but we cancelled as the room was very dirty, and when we told the lady did not say anything. To bad!!!

The hostel is in a great location. The staff were incredibly helpful. Prices are affordable and you get what you pay for.
