Hi, Walked around the old city of Jerusalem today and it was great! We found a free tour that starts at Jaffa gate and lasts 2 hours, then had lunch and then kept on walking around the city and bought some souvenirs in the shops in the alleys. it's really beautiful and (obviously) recommended to anyone travelling in the area..
