- OhanaRFlorida192 contributionsI wasn’t sure what to expect and was concerned that I would somehow offend others here. But I don’t think I did, and I was as respected as anyone else.
It’s a powerful moving experience. Men and women are separated and my husband and I had different experiences - men have access to a museum and library that women do not.
Sit in a chair and observe. Pray. And visit the wall. Put your on it and realize that you are touching a 4th century BC wall. Take time to take that in.Written 22 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Bible's authenticity became more evident for me. The different galleries were also worth the visit as they showed Israel throughout the centuries till present day. The only drawback would be walking under the sun to get to the scale model of the city of David and the Dead Sea Scrolls. Bring a hat, light long sleeves shirt, or wear lots of sunscreen.Written 27 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rob MCheyenne, WY7,563 contributionsBeautiful and well maintained. Parking can be challenging. However, this is a small, peaceful location that doesn't take long to see, yet it has a significant meaning.Written 12 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The wet side of tunnel is well worth it. Bring shorts, wet shoes and a flashlight. It might be challenging if you suffer from claustrophobia but it is really coolWritten 12 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NoraatcSudbury, MA33,658 contributionsWe went to the Jewish Quarter on a Friday afternoon, after the City of David Tour, which lasted for three hours and we needed a little break. We started with the Western Wall of course, my husband said the prayer in the men’s section, while I waited for him in the women’s section but didn’t join the believers as I am not one of them. Everyone was very polite and didn’t mind my presence in this sacred place.
It was delightful to browse the old streets of the Jewish Quarter in the crowds of Orthodox men, women and charming kids, who were very busy with their Shabbat preparations. We also took a look at the restored Hurva Synagogue and discovered the traces of the 1948 War of Independence: the battles had been happening right in the center of the Old City… the Rothschild House and the memorial to 48 City Defenders who perished in the fierce battle for Jerusalem tell you the story of those glorious and tragic days.Written 18 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AndreNetanya, Israel13 contributionsBeing in a zoo after decades avoiding them, this zoo was a pleasant surprise. The fact there is a train ride that takes you to its highest point (a mini replica of an intended Noah’s Ark) and you can come down passing most of the exhibits was a plus.Written 18 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- WarrenVoorhees, NJ3 contributionsJerusalem is a magical city like none other. The ancient and modern history is everywhere you walk. The people are amazing and friendly. The food is wonderful wherever you go. Felt very safe at all times as well.

- NoraatcSudbury, MA33,658 contributionsThe Cardo Maximus was the wide boulevard of the ancient Roman city of Aelia Capitolina, the are established by the Roman Emperor Hadrian in 135 AD on the site of the destroyed city of Jerusalem. It was a busy market street back in the Roman and Byzantine days and the artisan shops are still flourishing around it now. Only the remnants of the Roman columns are left and they are visible from the street level.Written 12 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Caleb P5 contributionsInstead of visiting a museum, you are helping create the museum. Great explanations of the history, ancient and recent, were provided; and also of the archeological process. Great for both adults and children. Priceless.Written 9 April 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SmartTravelerMuar, Malaysia657 contributionsOur guide brought us to this interesting site in Jerusalem. We walked through a steep car park towards a church. It has a Byzantine dome clustered with marble columns and large arch-shaped windows. It was built near the House of High Priest Caiaphas who judged Jesus.
The Church of St Peter Gallicantu commemorates the triple denial of Peter to Jesus, his repentance, and their reconciliation. It was built over a ruin in 457 CE. The French Assumptionists rebuild it in 1931CE. Inside are displays of the Cockcrow, the Woman, and the Roman soldier. It was inscribed "Woman, I know him not"! The Byzantine interior has mosaics inlaid and renaissance paintings, Gallincantu, in Latin, means the Rooster Crows.
Underneath the church is a dungeon jailroom and a visible manhole at above. It was used to rope down Jesus into the dungeon cell, before the cruxification.Written 5 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
