- Nave M4 contributionsJerusalem is a city of contrasts, with ancient history and modern culture colliding on every corner. It is a holy city to three major religions, and its streets are steeped in religious significance. But it is also a vibrant and cosmopolitan city, with a thriving arts scene and a diverse population.
No visit to Jerusalem would be complete without visiting the Old City, which is home to some of the most important religious sites in the world. The Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Dome of the Rock are all must-sees. But there are also many other interesting things to see and do in the Old City, such as wandering through the maze of alleyways, shopping for souvenirs, or sampling the local cuisine.
Outside of the Old City, there are many other things to see and do in Jerusalem. The Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial is a sobering reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust. The Israel Museum is home to a vast collection of art and artifacts from around the world. And the Mount of Olives offers stunning views of the city.
Jerusalem is a city that can be difficult to understand, but it is also a city that is impossible to forget. It is a city of peace and conflict, of hope and despair, of love and hate. But it is also a city of beauty and wonder, of history and culture. If you are looking for a truly unique travel experience, then Jerusalem is the city for youWritten 11 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

You get access to Temple Mount in the same area.Written 22 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SallyEdgware, UK11 contributionsA visit to Jerusalem is like no other in that it is a truly religious city for many different people. The city itself is undergoing enormous regeneration and the buildings are very well designed. The bus service is like no other and can take you all over the country at very cheap prices. The light rail runs through the centre of town and the new Main line station, Navon has to be experienced. The trains are new, modern and very clean and access is down five escalators. The journey to Tel Aviv is partly underground which is a pity as it is not possible to see all the land which is wonderful.Written 27 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The gentle breeze, the warm sunlight, and the symphony of chirping birds added to the enchanting ambiance of the place. I could easily spend hours simply admiring the beauty that surrounded me.

My husband loved the experience but said there was about an 8 minute stretch where he really had to bend over. So if you are short or tall which no back issues we highly recommend. The dry tunnel was only 2-3 minutes long.Written 18 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- realtangobabeNEW ZEALAND73 contributionsWe went there twice first in the evening for the light and sound show. This was amazing so worthwhile. It was a really good introduction to the history of the city as well as being stunningly beautiful. We went back the next day in the daytime to explore the tower itself which I would also recommend doing.Written 18 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- David GGedera, Israel1,413 contributionsOne of the most famous churches based around Jerusalem, found on postcards , and yet it took me more than 30 years of living in Israel to visit this amazing place !!.
Don't just look at the amazing paintings on the walls , look up at the ceilings , there's art there as well !!.
Best NOT to use flash when taking pictures ( there IS a way to take acceptable quality images in this amazing place even with smartphones ( auto ISO worked for me ) .Sometimes there are services being held , so respect the sanctity of this place ( hats OFF when inside the church ).
Best to visit during the Spring and Autumn/Fall months , .RECOMMENDEDWritten 17 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

While it's a Muslim site, and I am Jewish, nonetheless it was architecturally one of the most compelling sites for me to visit in Jerusalem -- and I went absolutely everywhere. Besides which, the entire grounds are sacred. So I went very early in the morning and encountered no line. I didn't realize how large the grounds were and poked through every nook and cranny, found actually very friendly groundskeepers and guards throughout, and absolutely had my breath taken away by this jewel box.
There are few places in the world that are so stunning, aesthetically. Of course I didn't and couldn't go inside, but the exterior is amazing, as are the entire grounds, which slide into beautiful olive trees towards the back. In fact, if you keep walking through these, you wind up near the Via Dolorosa and also by Lion's Gate, which are very pleasant places to explore with many sites for Christians, Jews, and people who just like historical sites in general like me.
If you are a living and breathing human with eyeballs, don't miss Al-Aqsa Mosque and Temple Mount in Jerusalem. There are a handful of places that are this beautiful in the world. I can count them on two hands only.Written 1 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was crowded and filled with people trying to climb over each other to reach something in the basement. Instead, I am reviewing the grounds that lead to Bethesda behind it, which are beautifully landscaped and extremely peaceful. I sat here for some time after a lot of walking and it was serene and shaded with ancient excavations. Very enjoyable.Written 1 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
