Jerusalem is a city with a deep history and a special atmosphere, where each street tells about thousands of events and beliefs. It is a place where religions, cultures and traditions intertwine, creating a unique cultural layer: from the ancient walls of the Old City to modern museums and monuments. Arriving here, you feel a combination of solemnity and everyday life, which makes a walk around the city emotionally rich and informative.
Among the man-made attractions, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher and Calvary, the Western Wall and the Via Dolorosa, the archaeological parks “City of David”, “Davidson Center” and Ophele are especially distinguished. No less important are monasteries and cathedrals – the Church of All Nations, Notre-Dame de Zion, the Russian Holy Trinity Cathedral and many Byzantine monuments. Contemporary cultural objects, such as the Sculpture Garden at the Israel Museum, the layout of the Second Temple and the museum expositions, complement the historical look of the city.
The natural corners around Jerusalem give freshness and contrasts: the Garden of Gethsemane and the Garden Grave, the Kedrone Valley and the Mount of Olives with beautiful panoramas, the botanical gardens on Mount Scopus and the Jerusalem Botanical Garden. Within the city and in the vicinity there are spacious parks - Independence, Liberty Bells and Wall of Roses, and a little further there are Gan HaShlosha National Park, the Sorek River and the picturesque expanses of Masada and the Dead Sea. The nature here organically complements the historical routes and offers solitude among the greenery and ancient olives.
On our site, all these attractions can be easily seen on an interactive map: click on the point to read a brief help and see photos, mark the objects to visit and build the optimal route. Convenient filters allow you to choose religious, archaeological or natural sites, and the route mapping tool calculates the time and distance between points so you can plan a day or a whole trip.
You are free to explore Jerusalem on your own, walking along the laid routes and discovering your favorite corners at your own pace, or book excursions with experienced local guides. Guides will help to better understand the historical context, tell little-known stories and suggest convenient ways between attractions, making the walk more rich and understandable. Excursions are suitable both for the first visit and for those who want to look at the city from a new angle.
Come to Jerusalem to experience a multi-layered history and discover new places at every turn. Plan a trip with our map and itineraries, choose a convenient format - independent walks or guided tours - and let each visit to this amazing city be a source of inspiration and new discoveries.
