Visiting the Old City of Jerusalem

The Old City of Jerusalem is one of the most historic and spiritually significant places in the world.

Within its ancient stone walls visitors can explore thousands of years of history, sacred religious sites, and beautiful streets that connect the city’s Jewish, Christian, Armenian, and Muslim quarters.

For many visitors, the highlight of the Old City is the Western Wall (Kotel), one of Judaism’s holiest sites and a place of prayer and pilgrimage for millions of people each year.

The Jewish Quarter

The Jewish Quarter is the center of Jewish life inside the Old City and home to many of Jerusalem’s most important historic sites.

Visitors can explore:

• the Western Wall Plaza    
• the rebuilt Hurva Synagogue
• the ancient Cardo Roman street
• archaeological discoveries from thousands of years of Jewish history

The Jewish Quarter is also one of the most popular areas for visitors to stay because of its proximity to the Western Wall.
