Discover all the secrets, enigmas, and legends of the Holy City for the three principal monotheistic religions on this guided tour that heads down the streets of Jerusalem to discover its history and culture.
Description
After collecting you from the David Citadel Hotel at the scheduled time, we'll start our guided tour of the holy city of Jerusalem.
Our tour starts by climbing Mount Scopus, which offers fantastic views across the beautiful old part of the city. Then it's on to the Gardens of Gethsemani, the Church of All Nations as we head down to the old town.
We'll traverse HaKardo the main street from Jerusalem's Byzantine period. In the Jewish Quarter, we'll visit the Western Wall, the last remaining remnants of the ancient Temple of Jerusalem that was destroyed by the Romans. In the nooks and crannies of this sacred wall, you can leave a little piece of paper with your wishes. Behind the wall, we'll find the Dome of the Rock, a shrine to Islam.
Then we tour the Christian Quarter where you'll encounter the Holy Sepulchre church, constructed on the point where, according to the scriptures, Jesus was crucified. We'll also retrace his footsteps along the Via Dolorosa Street where he carried the cross to his crucifixion.
Towards the middle of the day, you'll have an hour of free time to get a bite to eat at a local restaurant. Then we'll meet again, ready to visit the modern area of Jerusalem. We'll see the architecture of the Parliament of Israel and visit the Holocaust Museum to review the saddest episodes in recent history.
Having spent 10 hours exploring Jerusalem, our tour will come to an end.
Important
On Fridays, Saturdays and public holidays, the visit to the Museum of the Holocaust will be substituted for a visit to the Miskenot Sha´ananim, the first Jewish neighbourhood in the outskirts of the ancient city of Jerusalem.
