What travellers are saying
- Katie RiglePottstown, PA47 contributionsSurreal and humbling experience walking through Old City Jerusalem. No matter your religion, please take the time to tour this city. It is vast with lots of history, architecture, and culture. I would actually opt for a tour guide for this city, as there is just so much going on. Wear comfortable shoes and pack your patience! Lots of walking and many many people.Written 27 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Linda YFrisco, TX5,649 contributionsThe Haas promenade offers a sweeping view of Jerusalem. If you’re after a daylight view, try to go on a clear, sunny day. We visited around noon, and with the sun to our back, the contrast of blue sky against the white buildings was spectacular! A plaque points out the major landmarks. The old and the new, with several thousand years of history in between – stretched out in front of you!Written 1 March 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KodoDrummerBuenos Aires, Argentina64,756 contributionsI started the walk from Jaffa Gate. On my four days of walking around the Old City, I saw only a few people going on the Ramparts Walk. Viewing the walls, I could see that there appears to be a number of walls built on top of walls. This is in part because with changes in the empires which ruled over Jerusalem, such as the Ottomans, Muslims, Christian crusaders, the Israelite chieftain Solomon, Romans, Byzantines, and Arabs. Many of the rulers modified the city walls and temples to their own liking. Thus, the walls have a lot of history behind them. From the upper walls, I had great views of the Old City on one side, and the new on the other.Written 9 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
.... with four boys ages 5 to 14. It was hot and sunny- we started on the surround and circle Mount Strong hike, which is on a wide jeep road but it has total sun exposure. We didn't have the time nor supplies (and the boys didn't have the interest nor resilience) to complete the loop of more than two hours, so we did enjoy our adventure, but we turned back.... full disclosure- the same thing happened two other times in the past year- failed attempts with young charges.
ADVICES
This is certainly a well-organized and well equipped and famous nature reserve. As such, it is a good holiday spot and a good place for hiking in nature, but not far from the city of Jerusalem. I certainly endorse and recommend a visit to here.Written 2 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TomMaple Grove, MN1,935 contributionsDepending on what path you follow, you may wind up underneath the church to view one of the stations and then come up the stairs inside it. The church interior is fairly plain and no picture taking is permitted.Written 20 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
