Israel · JERUSALEM OLD CITY
20 reviewed
One walled square kilometre holds the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the Via Dolorosa and four quarters that look nothing alike. The streets do not explain themselves, which is why a guide changes the day here more than anywhere else in Israel. Below are the 15 best Old City walks, with prices, start times and a note on dress code.
