What travellers are saying
- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,852 contributionsJerusalem's Old City is the ancient Walled Heart of the Holy Land. The Old City has four sectors -- Jewish, Muslim, Christian and Armenian. We stayed in the Armenian Quarter; it was an experience of history. Some of the Gates have been walled up. The Jaffa Gate is easy to access by the Mammilla Mall. The Dung Gate is near the Western Wall, it was used to remove trash. The Zion Gate and Lions Gate are historic, the Damascus Gate led the way to Damascus. The's also the New Gate and Herod's Gate. To get a view of the Old City, you can walk around the Wall. The Old City is always interesting, and the markets are fun.Written 2 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- rogerfzFritzlar, Germany403 contributionsDefinitely you have to visit once Yad Vashem to understand the horror of WW2. It makes you deeply sad and highly angry about the ignorance of some people. Specially for some German Idiots it should be mandatory (I myself am German).Written 13 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,852 contributionsThe Temple Mount adjoins the Old City of Jerusalem. It is sacred to Muslims, Jews and Christians. The Temple Mount is a plateau. The Al Aksa Mosque is the third holiest site in Islam. The Dome of the Rock is quite fascinating, it is said that Mohamad rode his magic horse Barak to heaven, where he conversed with the Prophets. You can see Barak's hoof print. Orthodox Jews often pray on the Temple Mount, which is the site of the ancient Temple. By the way, if you want to enter the Temple Mount, it's best to make arrangements in advance.Written 9 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- rafaelrabelloCampinas, SP161 contributionsAmazing feeling being there.
We were there on a Sunday: mass started 6am and ended 7am.
The tomb opened right after the mass at 7am. People following the mass were the first to enter.
Absolutely no lines at this time. Me and my wife could enter there twice with a 2min. maximum line.
So the recommendation is to arrive early in the morning. Tomb opening time on Sunday: 7am. Mess start on Sunday: 6am.Written 28 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Laura RGuttenberg, NJ304 contributionsThis is a mostly finished church with a small interior. The attractions are the plaques around the Church that are the Our Father written in many different languages-some languages that are almost extinct. they are beautifully crafted. There is also a small garden.Written 1 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- FredPurdueSeattle, WA2,240 contributionsA holy place, visited by pilgrims such as we were, but this review focuses on the problems of photographing the site. Two primary issues are crowds - which means long waits for access and a short time at the site - and lighting. Regarding the lighting, plan on using high ISOs for exposures. As to the crowds, travel light - good use for a pocket camera - and plan ahead, pre-programming your settings so that you can grab a few pictures. Consider taking pictures while in line or just afterwards. And using flash may not be appropriate.Written 2 June 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Temper43 - AlfredoPanama City, Panama1,321 contributionssuch an important site to bring tourists, and is near Jericho, the site is being now renovated and it will be larger in order to accept more visitors.
Amazing how the tourists feel when visiting the site.Written 24 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Golden Gate, known to Muslims as the Bab el Rahmeh and Jews as Sha'ar Harahamim, lies just across the Kidron Valley from the Mount of Olives, where devout Jews are buried. It is said that they will be resurrected and ascend to Heaven at the End of DaysWritten 14 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Hallie17 contributionsThis hotel for pilgrims is incredible. When you walk in the door as a Catholic, you feel like you’re coming home. The building is absolutely stunning, very classic, and very tastefully decorated. The chapel is beautiful, and the artwork everywhere is wonderful. The staff is top notch and very welcoming almost everywhere. The dining room food is delicious and the landscaping is gorgeous. We also visited the attached exhibit about the Shroud of Turin, and it was exceptional. Finally, the location of this hotel is so convenient—right outside the New Gate to the Old City of Jerusalem. The two reasons I did not give this property 5 stars is because the staff at the rooftop bar was rude to our party, and it was impossible to get a reservation for some reason, even though our group was flexible on timing and they would have made a lot of money just serving us one drink. The other reason is because the first room my husband and I were given (room 306) smelled so strongly of mold/mildew that we couldn’t stay there. There appeared to be mildew in the shower. The second room we were given, 313, was still smelly but less so. Unfortunately, the toilet had trouble flushing and our shower head stand was broken. We also did not get our room cleaned at all during our two night stay. I think that was an honest mistake due to us changing rooms, but still, it would have been nice. Other than the rooms perhaps needing some work, and the rooftop bar inaccessibility and snooty staff, we loved our stay here and would definitely recommend it to any Catholic pilgrims to Jerusalem.Written 10 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Jen C2 contributionsIt was crazy and busy and loud, but a lot of fun and great shopping. Some very motivated sellers who want you to buy from their stores! 😁 Lots of competition and bargaining. Hang on to your purses! Fabulous food options as well! Not for the faint of heart or if you are claustrophobic. Great for purchasing spices, T shirts, jewelry, trinkets, purses, luggage etc.Written 23 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KodoDrummerBuenos Aires, Argentina64,824 contributionsLots of history to this place. On exiting the gate, there were three large buses loading young Israeli soldiers, who I assume undertook an activity in the Jewish Quarter. Great city views from the rampart walk on the walls adjacent to Zion Gare.Written 11 December 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- EdgarCossetBrooklyn, NY1,609 contributionsVisiting Emmaus for a worship service with a pilgrimage group is a deeply meaningful experience not to be missed. Non-religious tourists may find it interesting for that importance but not a must-see. For Christians the story of how the disciples recognize the resurrected Jesus ‘in the breaking of the bread” is fundamental to the faith. So it is that lens they use to admire the ruins of the Byzantine basilica and visit the small museum dedicated to archeological finds and history. Without that perspective others may simply see a few broken stone walls and some faded mosaic remnants. Nevertheless, Emmaus has an aura of calm and peacefulness accessible to any visitor.
As usual the authenticity of the site is supported by consensus over other possible locations. What is known is that the area has been fought over for hundreds of years ranging from battles of Joshua, Greeks, Romans, Crusaders, Ottomans even into the 1967 Six Day War. Richard Lionheart spent Christmas of 1140 here. The Basilica was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. Today the site and gift shop are reverently maintained by a detachment of the French Catholic Community of the Beatitudes. By car there is easy access from the main road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.Written 22 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
