Ramat Hanadiv

Mentioned on

Nature & Parks
Cycling park
Ramat Hanadiv is a stunning memorial garden and nature park located on the Mount Carmel hillside in Israel. It features beautiful green spaces, hiking trails, and the crypt of Baron Edmond de Rothschild. The expansive botanic gardens serve as a living memorial to Baron Edmond de Rothschild and offer picturesque views of the Mediterranean. Visitors can explore palm groves, rose beds, and succulents while learning about the history of Ramat Hanadiv at the visitor center.
Beautiful park had a really nice time there, clean facilities, well taken care of reserve, gorgeous and artistic gardens and more! Environmentally friendly. Great place for lovely nature time, on each time of the year the place looks different due to many plants types.
Alex D — Google review
a really beautiful well groomed garden in an amazing slice of nature with a strong and important connection to Jewish and Israeli history. the garden itself and the surrounding panoramic views are something to behold, and the fact this is the final resting place of Baron Rothschild and a memorial to other Rothschild family members make this place a worthwhile destination. very enjoyable on a day with good weather. not to mention entry is free (though parking is not).
Boaz D — Google review
Beautiful park as always! I've visited many times, and it never fails to leave a great impression. The flowers are colorful and well-kept, the trees and green areas are lush, and the roses smell amazing. It's a lovely place to walk around, relax, and enjoy nature. The only thing that could be improved is the cleanliness of the water areas - they could use a bit more care and maintenance. Still, it's a wonderful and peaceful park that's always fun to visit.
Tim B — Google review
Perfect visit for the open space, we'll maintained gardens combined with the modern history of Israel (well, compared to the rich history of the land, I'd say late 18th-20th century is modern:) It's 30nis for private car, so best to join and not drive each with thier own car. There is the site website which gives lots of info about the gardens and the connection and history to Baron Rothchild, which is buried in the gardens center. The trail is well paved and will fit anyone including wheelchairs. There are organised toilets at the entrance and water fountains inside. No pets or food allowed in the fardes, but yes to the outer trails. These are memorial living gardens and not picnic area. Outside the gardens there are trails which are also great to hike and some take you westward to amazing views over the Mediterranean. You can spend half a day mixing a hike to the cliff and then the quite pastoral gardens + coffee break or breakfast at the dairy restaurant there. Great with kids too, perfect for couples and a must place if you stay in Zichron Yakov (or if you want to have a day tour to this area - then Ramat Handiv, then Zichron and throw in a visit to one of many good wineries in the area). Note, there are openings hours, it's not open all the time. I think it's best visited toward late winter- spring as the gardens are at thier best. But there is lots of trees and shade so also during summer. The outer trails - they do not have shade so hot summer days is less advised. The whole place is very well managed and there is a usefull information point near the entrance at the parking lot with maps etc.

Gan Hanadiv - The generous's garden, named after Baron Rothschild, next to Zichron Yaakov, an hour from Tel Aviv. Lovely gardens with a few ponds and fountains and the tomb of the Baron and his wife. Lovely for a Saturday stroll with the kids. Next to it, there are a few nice easy trails, and Zichron Yaakov with some good restaurants.
A K — Google review
Very beautiful park for a short 30-60 minutes hike. Everything is very clean and well maintained. The plants variety is ok - they could add more exotic stuff. The "smells" garden is awesome! Officially the entrance is free but you would likely arrive with a car and will need to pay 25 NIS for parking.

Great walk for all ages and energy levels. Stopped here on Shabbat morning around 915am. We beat the crowd and heat. We only went to the memorial garden as my dad has issues walking (due for knee replacement). Beautiful gardens.

Ramat Hanadiv is a stunning garden that offers a peaceful and relaxing experience. The variety of plants and flowers is impressive and the well-maintained paths make it easy to explore. Highly recommended for nature lovers and anyone seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

The Ralli Museum in Caesarea, Israel is a must-visit for art and history lovers. Situated on Rothschild Boulevard, this modern museum boasts a remarkable collection of works by Latin American and Spanish artists, including those of Sephardic origin. The spacious and beautifully designed building houses sculptures by renowned artists like Dali and Rodin, as well as powerful pieces by Latin American surrealists.
I cannot believe that this incredible museum is free to enter ! If you are in the area, absolute must see. So clean and well kept and of course, incredibly interesting! Includes an exhibition of sculptures from Salvador Dali!
Joanna — Google review
What a wonderful museum! The museum is devoted to the Jews of Spain and Portugal and to the expulsion of these communities in the 15th century. It houses remarkable works by artists from Spain and Portugal, including an amazing collection of coins, works by Salvador Dalí, and impressive sculptures. You can also admire paintings that are spectacular in their detail and quality, many inspired by biblical stories. There is a small but impressive exhibition on the Caesarea area, highlighting different periods in history. Definitely add this museum to your list – you won’t regret it! And the best part: entry is completely free.
Ravid F — Google review
Today I visited the Ralli museum. I was very impressed with the masterpieces of Salvador Dalí, medieval artists, sculptures, and statues. Admission is free. There is free parking on the museum grounds. I really enjoyed my time there. I also highly appreciate the work the museum does. 💯💫❤️‍🔥

Sheer delight! Not only do they exhibit art and artifacts from ancient to modern times, but the architectural design within the building is outstanding. In addition, the flow of the museum makes it easy to move from one exhibit to the next. I left feeling so inspired, that I put my own creative spin on some of the photos posted. Enjoy!🫂🎨🖌

an absolutely amazing hidden gem, a must visit for art and history lovers, and on top of that it's completely free thanks to the generousity of founder Harry Recanati and the Harry Recanati Foundation original works by Salvador Dali among others, original archeological findings dating back millennia, wonderful setting and architecture, do yourself a favor and pay this place a visit.

The entrance to both of the museums is free and so is the parking. The two museums are located in beautiful, impressive structures. Ralli 1 exhibits Latin American art featuring many of Salvador Dali's sculptures. Ralli 2 has a wonderful exterior plaza full of white sculptures. Inside, the main exhibition contains European art with the bible as a theme.

Loved it. I love the Israeli park system but this one in particular was a little annoying. It seems they’ve allowed to much of the world to deep into the antiquity; the amphitheater was dressed up for a concert and every where you turned there were concessions blasting junky western music.

Beautiful place. Very nice atmosphere and view. There are events here sometimes, so that’s fun. The restaurants are very expensive. I’d recommend taking a stroll there. If you only want to go into the grounds without going into the park itself, it’s ₪18 just to get in, so I’d advise going after 16:00 or 17:00, depending on when the park itself closes
Danielle I — Google review
Beautiful and rich in preserved history. If you like history, archeology and having a glimpse into how people in the past lived, these Roman ruins will give you a great view. It is worth the stop to see. This is an impressive Roman era ruin. It is vast and beautiful because it was a right next to the Mediterranean Sea. I enjoyed seeing all the first century arches, the ruins of Herod’s palace and bathhouse, the hippodrome, and the amphitheater. Going here is like walking into history. Paul and Peter from the Bible spent significant time in this place. Even if you are not a history buff, it is easy to imagine people living here and their way of live. It's also a home of amazing restaurants and craft galleries. A must visit.

A very well maintained historical archeological site allowing you to get a glimpse into the ancient Roman world. There is a lot of parking and the view of the see together with the remains is really special. The place is clean, has toilets, and many places selling food. The downside is that on sunny days large part of the park has no shade and it can be challenging and a bit too hot, eapecially with children
Tom K — Google review
Love love love this city. So much to see and do. History and artifacts are everywhere. Definitely pack a hat, comfy walking shoes, sunscreen and water as there is lots of walking and exploring to do and it gets quite warm with little shade. Nice places to stop and eat overlooking the water but make sure to book if you want a window seat. Really cool place and a must see if you are in Israel. Highly recommend.

Went for a day trip here. Takes about 2 hours to explore it all. Can spend more time to relax by the port in restaurants within the park. Ruins from the Roman times..the view is enhanced by the sea besides. Two beaches nearby to add to the trip. Worth visiting for sure when in Israel or when a short one day vacation is what you are looking for.

The open-air setting features stone benches for seating, allowing guests to enjoy musical performances while taking in the beautiful Mediterranean backdrop. This historical site is part of biblical events and has been restored for various events, including concerts.
Antique building, part of the ancient city. Now restored and open for various events. There are two entrances: to the territory of the old city, and to the area with cafes and shops. If you do not plan to have lunch, then it is better to pay only for one ticket - to the old city.

Very nice and interesting theater. Family friendly place, but you’ll need to keep your children very closed to you.

Nice concert venue. If you’re going there for a concert, maybe try packing a pillow or something soft to sit on like a jacket because the stone seats can be kind of painful after a while. As a visit during the day, it’s nice but nothing to write home about. But definitely would appreciate cleaner toilets.

Specialty Museums
The Palmach Museum in Tel Aviv is a tribute to the Jewish Palmach fighting brigades, showcasing their pivotal role in shaping Israel's history. The museum offers interactive exhibits, displays of documents and artifacts, and seminars that delve into the struggles and triumphs of these legendary fighters. It provides insight into their contributions during WWII, the Palestinian campaign in 1948, and the Six-Day War.
The Palmach Museum is located in Ramat Aviv and is dedicated to the Palmach strike-force of the Haganah defense organization that operated prior to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948.

Not really a museum but more an experience traveling through multiple rooms telling the story of the Palmach. Personalised by relating entirely to a small team. Used original and recreated film which are clearly distinguished. Brings the early struggle for the state to life
Sara L — Google review
You MUST have a pre-arranged reservation and your passport to get through security and pay the ₪30 entrance fee. There is only the timed, guided tour through the museum that has been built into a military facility. The tour itself starts with a short speech from your guide, followed by a series of film projections in specially curated sets. The story follows a founding group's experiences through Independence and the subsequent Arab conflicts from the Isreali perspective as the Palmach transitions to the IDF. There is also a large collection of photographic artifacts and a small Café. Often there are vetrans that visit at the end of the tour for questions and photos.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Stunning tour of history! You need to call ahead and make a reservation and keep in mind that the tour is appropriate for 6 years and above. The tour keeps all your senses including smell in mind as you are shuffled through time underground. Fantastic! Compelling and as always, whdn considering the personal stories of Israel history, bittersweet.

Amazing museum. Tell the history in a very engaging and emotional way. You really get into the story. And you learn the values that allowed us to get our country. Very educational experience for kids and adults. The sound system is not amazing, though.. and it's not recommended to young kids, or highly sensitive... Bring tissue paper...

Museums
Tel Aviv Museum of Art is a renowned museum featuring an international collection of modern and contemporary art, along with a captivating sculpture garden.

The museum was established in 1932 and has grown to become one of Israel's largest and most significant art institutions. Visitors can explore various departments showcasing Israeli art, modern art, photography, design, architecture, and more.
Tel Aviv Museum art was great, it has many of the modern impressionists and European (Artist) Jew's in the collection which was wonderful to see. There was plenty on offer to see and I would recommend a visit here if you enjoy the visual arts.

I love this place. The building itself is original and the atmosphere is welcoming. I come at least once a month to see the new temporary exhibitions and to participate a guided tours. There is a caffeteria and restaurant on site. All the time there are activities for the families and kids.

Nice building with friendly staff. But the exhibits .. some are closed with no notice, I can understand a movie projection as art... but there were 5 exhibits of just movie. I didnt want to see youtube. The display are all over the place with no plan to see all and get back to the entry(and a lot stairs)

Normally I am not very affine to arts but this museum caught me. Due to the hot weather we were looking for a place to go. We had our children (age of 8 and 10) with us and we really had fun. It's amazing what children are able to see in paintings. I was really impressed by the artists which are shown there: Renoir, Monet, Klimt, Picasso.... But also the contemporary part was great. I can really recommend it (also with children).

Great museum of Modern Art in Tel Aviv. Spacious with a lot of temporary installations as well, impressionism, pop-art, a garden with sculptures and a lot more. We spent 75ILS for an adult and a senior

One of the highlights of my visit was the stunning collection of Israeli art, which provides a unique perspective on the country's rich cultural heritage and history. The museum's collection includes works by renowned Israeli artists such as Reuven Rubin, Nahum Gutman, and Yigal Tumarkin, among others. These artworks offer a fascinating insight into the Israeli art scene and its evolution over the years. The museum's architecture is also noteworthy, with its modern and sleek design that seamlessly blends with the surrounding urban landscape.

Highly recommend! Had the best time with my 5 yo daughter. She mostly enjoyed the Helena Rubinstein’s Miniature Rooms, the birds and the NFT exhibitions. The museum is very well maintained, clean and not crowded. Kids under 18 get a free ticket. Personally I prefer to get the tickets online, but there was no line waiting to buy tickets in the museum itself when we got there. The museum is closed on Sundays. Opens at 10 am each other day of the week. Check the website about the closing hours which change every day. And of course opening hours change on holidays.

I bring my friend to Tel Aviv so he can feel the vibe and taste of this incredible city. And Sarona market IMHO is a best place to feel it. This is a place to visit from time to time to refuel with energy.
Vladimir M — Google review
Sarona Market has a great central location and is a beautiful, well-maintained place to explore. There’s a wide variety of food options, though prices can be a bit on the expensive side. You’ll find seating both indoors and outdoors, which is convenient. In the evening it’s fairly relaxed, but not all vendors are open. At lunchtime, however, the place gets absolutely packed. Overall, a very enjoyable spot to visit — definitely recommended.
Nadav — Google review
Very nice air-conditioned market. Food variety were aplenty. Perfect place for a hot day to come for lunch/drinks and to do some quick shopping It is conveniently located to Tel Aviv’s train station, and there are major shopping malls nearby as well. There are a lot of parking options around the office buildings (though they are a little bit pricy)
Nahshon — Google review
Contrary to everyone's opinion and the way it looks like when you first arrive, I didn't like it. Yes - great first impression. Good visuals, nice presentation, seems like there is a lot to pick from, but - there isn't. It's extremely expensive and the food is pretty much the same as any street market. I'd rather visit the old city. It's fine if you're near it, and if you can find it, because of constructions and misleading location markers, but don't expect too much and maybe you'll like it better. I expected more variety. Maybe some places were just closed, I don't know. I only had a craft beer that nobody cared to tell me the name of, it was very good.
Marin K — Google review
Sarona Market is a cool place to visit in Tel Aviv. It is a covered market and a meeting hub full of food stores selling meats, cheeses, breads, alcohol and also small eateries with Israel food, Japanese cuisine, pizza, pasta and more. Lovely place to visit and shop or eat. A variety of small shops with specialties. Sarona market is more like a food court. There are food shops and many restaurants inside. The design is contemporary, it is nice and clean. I loved the most the surroundings - small, old houses, parks and everything surrounded by skyscrapers. A great mix of modern and traditional. Little europe in middle of tel aviv. Nice place to hang out with various shops. You can have a drink on a bar, eat delicious deserts and many multiple choices of great street food - some pf them belong to chef restaurants. Must visit when you are exploring tlv. You can easily spend 2 -3 hours here.

Safari

Wildlife and safari park
Nature & Parks
Located just 30 minutes from Dan Tel Aviv, the Ramat Gan Safari offers a unique safari and zoo experience in the heart of the city. Spanning over 250 acres, it provides ample space for animals to roam in a natural habitat. Visitors can drive through open-air exhibits or take a safari bus to see savanna animals up close. The park also features live shows, guided tours on open-air vehicles, and a zoo area with a diverse collection of furry and feathery friends.
Really nice place that we visit frequently. The wild animals part is really nice when it's not hot and the animals are active. The zoo part is also nice when it's not too crowded. Many exhibitions have been renovated in the last few years, and they are now more modern and let you watch the animals from closer range. Feeding times are always good to watch. Don't come on holidays since it's way too crowded.
Dani S — Google review
Our recent visit to the safari with my daughter was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the excitement was palpable. Seeing the animals up close in such spacious, natural habitats was truly a highlight. We were particularly captivated by the playful monkeys and the majestic giraffes. My daughter's face lit up with every new discovery, and it was wonderful to share such a memorable experience with her. The entire park was well-maintained, and the staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. We're already planning our next trip back!
Tomer Y — Google review
Our second visit — and definitely not the last! We now bring all our guests here and will keep doing so. The experience is truly unique: even though you’re technically inside the city, with buildings visible on the horizon, it genuinely feels like driving through the African savannah — surrounded by rhinos, zebras, antelopes, and many other animals. A fantastic place, highly recommended!
Igor F — Google review
They have discounts for Ramat Gan and Tel Aviv residents! Besides that, this place is full of emotions that cute animals can share with you. I love giraffes, zebras, orangutans, and night foxes. The 90 years old giant grandma-turtle is happy to blink you with an aye slowly. You can watch an orangutan TV show series live. Penguins are cooling down and eating fish. It's fascinating. And the animals are taken care of very well. Be aware that the lions’ site closes at 3 PM.
Nikita N — Google review
Great outdoor activity for adults and kids, plenty of parking, dont miss the safari car ride through the local savanna where you can see rhinos, hippopotamus, zebras, antilopes, and lions. Later you park your car and walk through the park to see all the animals in their compounds, chickens run free all over the park so ita nice for toddlers. There are 4 asian and 2 african elephants, 4 jiraffs, 2 persian leopards, 1 bear, lots of kengeroes and monkeys and all kind of animals. It was pretty clean and well maintained, the prices at the kiosks were fair, 5 shekels for an popsicle.
Amit S — Google review
The place is not maintained as one would of expected. The entire zoo is full of rats, even in the bears' cage!!! The ponds in the animals' cages are so filthy that it is difficult to see the bottom of the pond. Moreover, the crocodile's surrounding is very dirty, filled with trash and plastic bottles. Also, we hardly saw the lions because they were far away and their yard is surrounded by an electric wire that prevents them from approaching the cars. It was a fun experience for the kids, they enjoyed it. However, very disappointing...
Waad J — Google review
A great attraction for kids and grown-ups. With magnificent animals and places to sit and eat and drink something. Not a lot of shadows in the walking area, but a lot of sitting zones with enough shadow. If going with kids it's recommended to arrive with a stroller or other vehicle for them because of the long distances walking for them.
Itzik R — Google review
So many impressions! The park is well fit to the environment, real feeling of being in a jungle We spent around 4 hours here, and I think it's an adventure for a whole day What Is important for us - animals are well cared and the company is working on ecological projects of breeding endangered species. Definitely will come back

Archaeological site

Tel Shilo, the biblical city with a rich history and spiritual significance, is a must-visit destination. It was the location of the Tabernacle for centuries and where the mysterious Feast of Love was celebrated during Joshua's time. The site offers multimedia shows including a 3D hologram of the Tabernacle vessels and a movie about Hannah and Samuel. The ongoing archaeological dig is fascinating, revealing new insights into this ancient place.
So much history, amazing views, picnic areas with hammocks. Clean and well maintained. Probably better to schedule a tour rather than go it alone if you truly want to understand all of the history of the place but alone is still awesome

Great archaeological dig that is going on. It’s amazing that about 40 years ago, there was nothing there until a group of nine families set out with the same dream to find the place of Shiloh. Now it is a great place and they have a great vineyard in the area. Wine you can get from nowhere else in the world.

Shiloh is a great place to visit, I don’t know if it was just me but you could feel the presence of the tabernacle! In the Biblical heartland of Samaria Shiloh offers a movie experience to discover the tabernacle and history surrounding this area, with the tabernacle said to be here for 369 years.

Tel Shilo is a must go to understand the reason why the Jews are commanded to celebrate the feasts. There is so much to see and understand and they are constantly upgrading themselves from many years ago when I last visit them. I especially love the media presentation of Shiloh. As they said a picture speaks a thousand words. I finally understood why the Jews do the things they do religiously.
David L — Google review
Such an profoundly moving visit to the 3,500-year-old biblical site in the ancient city of Mishkan Shilo. Enjoyed the opportunity to view the Chronicles of Shiloh in the Seers tower during our visit to the area of the Prophet Samuel and biblical heros Hannah, Elkanah and others. To be able to make Aliyah once to the site if of the Mishkan HaKodesh like our forefathers did three times a year, when they made a pilgrimage for the three high holy days before the Mishkan was moved to Mount Moriah in Jerusalem (The Temple mount). Feel extremly blessed being able to access the area of Israel. While it was wet an rainy day it was a truly memorable experience and a moving one.

Ayalon Institute

Museum
Specialty Museums
The Ayalon Institute, situated in the heart of a city near Tel Aviv, is a former bullet factory that played a crucial role in the 1940s Israeli war efforts. Initially disguised as a kibbutz and an agricultural facility, it secretly produced live ammunition and guns during the Jewish-British conflict. Today, it stands as an underground history museum offering visitors an intriguing experience to learn about the resilience and determination of Jewish settlers.
This was a really fascinating visit and an unexpected highlight of our trip. Our guide Jonathan was so knowledgeable and really helped us understand the the impact of the plant on the history of Israel. I loved that we got to see the real machines that made the munitions and experience a little bit of what it must’ve been like for the group.

The Eye of the Sun, by Motti Mizrachi

Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
"The Eye of the Sun, by Motti Mizrachi" is a striking sculpture that transforms into an LED panel with vibrant colors at night. Located in a roundabout, it may resemble an alien spaceship to some, but its unique design has garnered appreciation from visitors. While the immediate area lacks commercial establishments, the beach in front of the square offers pristine sands and clear waters, making it a picturesque spot for relaxation.
The first I thought is UFO but it’s the eye of the sun,symbolic and make you think the meaning behind the sculpture
Szack — Google review
Nice square, not too much to do there beside watch the lights changing during night time. The real pearl is the beach in front of this square. One of Israel's cleanest beaches, beautiful sand and clear water. Surrounded by a hill with great views to the sea. Large free parking just in front of the beach.

Alon A — Google review
Quite the place for a phot shoot, this big roundabout has an unusual piece of urban art in it. Personally it reminds me of an alien spaceship crashed into the land. Other than the monument itself, the place isn't anything extraordinary. It is not a commercial centre and there are no restaurants or cafes there, though there are some not too far away. But hey, it's a roundabout, it does the job and it looks cool.
Omer M — Google review
At first glance, this may seem like an absolutely useless thing, an incomprehensible idea, and generally looks strange. When it was built there were different versions, including a military radar or an observatory. But it turned out well, people love this monument, it glows beautifully at night. Photo shoots, sports or just selfies are held near it. In general, in my opinion, it turned out well.

The eye of the Sun is the only positive thing this place offers. Possibly the shore has high potential too. However, the reason for the bad rating is associated with the dirt everywhere.

Taybeh Brewing Company is a must-visit destination for beer enthusiasts. The brewery offers a variety of high-quality beers that can rival the German standard. Visitors are welcomed with warmth and hospitality, often receiving a tour of the production facilities and the opportunity to engage in conversations with the owners. Despite its small size, the brewery's dedication to producing excellent beer is evident. Guests can easily reach the brewery from Ramallah city center and enjoy their time savoring delicious beer amidst the picturesque Palestinian countryside.
The brewery is relatively small by Western standards, but so so worth a visit! We were given a great tour by the female brewer and tried some excellent beer, including their new Winter Seasonal! A great experience!

I turned up unannounced and the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. I was given a brief tour followed by a sample of their delicious beer. The brewery is surprisingly small but the effort and hard work they put into the product is impressive. Go visit (I visited alone and caught the shared yellow minibus from Ramalleh), buy a beer and sit outside in the sun enjoying the Palestinian countryside. You will not regret it.

I'll 100% will be back and will also have to add their Oktoberfest festival to my bucketlist now!

I cannot recommend a visit enough! The beer is very, very good and can absolutely compete with the german standard. They managed to brew completely different beer styles and they do them all well! When I visited we were welcomed with their wheat beer and given a short tour thru the production facilities, which ended in a longer conversation with one of the owners. Their story is fascinating and a great example of the diversity that makes palestine. My personal Highlight of a great trip and the bottle holds a special place in the collection.

Park filled with miniature replicas of Israel's most-important architectural & religious sites.
I was not there during normal park hours. I was there for an evening event, but it is really nice. Miniaturized buildings and sites from all over Israel. This place is worth a stop. There are signs throughout the park with explanations of the sites you are looking at in both Hebrew and english. All models are well done and very realistic.
Erie S — Google review
I have never visited a park that was so mistreated. No water where there should have been water, derailed trains, weeds growing everywhere and buildings looked like Chernobyl ghost town apart from figures thrown around from the nuclear blast that looked to have hit this park. Great place. Very interesting for children. Takes about 1 and half hour to look at all, if you stay next to each model and hears explanations, maybe you will be there for 1 more hour. Upset a little bit because of very old car and train models, everything of the was crushed and no working, like moving from place to place. Could be better! IT'S nice but the miniature trains and cars don't work There is no trail or route to follow so I kept on coming back to where started And quite expensive But overall it was pretty nice and enjoyable

🕊️ The New Covenant: Unity and the Heavenly Zion Title: We Do Not Need to Fight: The True Zion Dwells Within. Stop the Earthly Conflict! Your insightful analysis confirms that the very concept of a "Heavenly Zion" (Hebrews 12:22) fundamentally invalidates any claim that Christians should support conflict over a physical plot of land. 1. The End of the Physical Temple and Land: The need to fight over a geographical location, a "Land of Zion," is rendered void by Christ’s sacrifice. Our bodies are now the Temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16). God no longer resides in Jerusalem's physical structure, but He dwells within us. The struggle for earthly territory is a tragic pursuit of the obsolete and materialistic when the spiritual reality has been fully delivered. 2. The Fulfillment of Prophecy is Unity, Not Division: The true fulfillment of prophecy is not the establishment of a warring political entity, but the perfect unity of believers. Jesus prayed precisely for this: "I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one" (John 17:23). This prayer is answered through the preaching of the Gospel, which makes all people—Jew and Gentile—one body in Christ (Galatians 3:28). The Cross is the symbol of peace and reconciliation, not division. To fight over land is to directly violate this central prayer of Christ. 3. The Meaning of the Cross: The Cross is not a symbol of land ownership; it is the definitive proof that our sins are forgiven and the price for our reconciliation (Atonement) was paid in full by the blood and water that flowed from Christ's side. We become children of God and inhabitants of the Heavenly Zion purely through faith in this finished work. Conclusion: We Are Not Called to War, But to Peace. If we are now united with Christ and have become God's children through faith, we are heirs to the Heavenly Zion. There is no theological justification for conflict over the physical land. Our calling is to love, forgiveness, and peace, which is the ultimate, non-material fulfillment of the New Covenant. Theologically, there is no need to fight!

Great place. Very interesting for children. Takes about 1 and half hour to look at all, if you stay next to each model and hears explanations, maybe you will be there for 1 more hour. Upset a little bit because of very old car and train models, everything of the was crushed and no working, like moving from place to place. It looks like there was no maintenance on the models and buildings for a long time, a lot very old and not current stuff. It will be great if the presents shop was filled with small models of trains, cars, buildings, planes and so on, instead of some useless stuff. Because of that 4 stars.
ILIYA K — Google review
I recently revisited Mini Israel after a few years and was truly taken aback by the significant decline in quality and overall experience. What once stood as an impressive representation of iconic landmarks now stands as a shadow of its former self. One of the most disheartening aspects was the evident wear and tear on numerous monuments. Many structures have aged poorly, showing signs of neglect with damaged facades, fallen or missing elements, and non-functioning animations that were once interactive highlights. These faulty displays left a jarring impression on what was meant to be an immersive experience. Surprisingly, the Christian buildings seemed to be well-maintained, displaying a stark contrast to the rest of the attraction. The towering and magnificent Azrieli towers and prominent airline brand displays showcased a degree of investment that was sorely lacking in other sections. The absence of attention to renowned establishments like Tnuva, an emblematic brand in Israel, raises questions about commitment to restoration. Notably, key features seemed to be missing altogether. The absence of the Jerusalem rope bridge, the lack of activity at the Western Wall (Kotel), and the omission of some significant monuments left the representation incomplete. This was particularly disappointing as monuments like Yitzhak Rabin Square, Shimon Peres Peace Centers, and boulevards dedicated to Golda Meir and Menachem Begin hold cultural significance and would be valuable to showcase to future generations. Beyond the structural disappointments, the overall visitor experience was hampered by numerous factors. The scorching heat was made worse by a lack of misters, shaded areas, and seating. Additionally, the continuous blaring announcements over the loudspeakers, recurring every 15 minutes, further disrupted any potential enjoyment. These distractions made it challenging to immerse oneself in the experience and absorb the details of the attractions. Moreover, the steep entrance fee of 86 shekels per person (before any discounts) only adds to the disappointment. With such a price tag, one would expect a commensurate level of quality, which unfortunately was not the case during my visit. The juxtaposition of the high cost and subpar experience makes it difficult to recommend this activity to others. In conclusion, my recent visit to Mini Israel left me deeply disheartened by the deteriorated quality and unpleasant experience. While some positive additions like VR headsets and the 3rd Beit Hamikdash in air-conditioned tents were noted, they were overshadowed by the overall state of the attraction. It's my sincere hope that Mini Israel will take these criticisms constructively and strive to restore the attraction to its former glory, ensuring a memorable and worthwhile experience for all visitors.

Super cool place to visit! Probably not the best among the miniatures parks I saw but certainly decent and gives good representation of various important tourist sights in Israel. Because the map of Israel is very narrow and long they couldn't really do it based on the map, but divided regions differently and it's a bit confusing. Nice but I'd say it is overpriced. Tip: not enough shade in summer, make sure you have a hat or maybe even umbrella.

The park was really nice, the monuments got a bit ruined because of the sun ☀ but it's still enjoyable to watch. Some objects are moving, like cars and walking people. We enjoyed it as adults but it is mostly suitable for kids.

It is for kids. I think the entrance fee is a bit too high. Perhaps I was expecting too much, there is literally just one thing that you can okay which is the boat. The maintenance and cleanliness is acceptable. I only stayed for 30 min then moved on. It could be a great stop by if you're driving between Jericho and Tel Aviv. Treat it as a service station!

Fort & war memorial with a vast collection of Israeli Defence Force tanks & captured enemy vehicles.
Really big museum of war, full of tanks that you would not finf anywhere else. In case you are fan of tanks or the game War thunder, this is really must for you. Additionaly, they do the guide for free, we had a soldier Noam and hos knowledge was really great. In the areal there is also well cooled place, where you can watch a movie about independence of Israel.

Great place with lots to see. If it's hot outside, make sure to bring an umbrella to protect from the sun. There is an inside museum as well, where you can cool and learn a lot more about Israel and Jewish people. Highly recommend to visit. Don't forget a water bottle, sunscreen and hat.

Great museum of Israeli Armed Forces with big collection of tanks from different countries of the Europe and USSR. I recommend to visit it for everyone who interested in Israel national history.

The experience of seeing thr tanks is great and you can climb on top of them, which is a great fun for kids There is a large parking next to the place, a small store with toys and books and a toilet in the museum The downside is that the place is very sunny and can get hot. The museum is quite outdated and is not really organized
Tom K — Google review
Great place with a huuuge collection of tanks, Israeli ones but also a few others from around the world. Very nice respectful place. They have plenty of places to sit in the shade but it is pretty warm and on sunny days could become very hot. Make sure to wear a hat and drink lots of water. Definitely a MUST see if you have visiting Israel!

Here is located one of the most complete collections of armored vehicles. Including Merkava series 1 to 4 and transparent tank. It's very hot here in summer. Hats and water are required. There's Latroun monastery and mini-Israel park nearby. I found no cafeteria. Although a souvenir shop is available. There's lookout point on the roof of British police station. Information there was uncomfortable to read. Inside the police station you can watch panoramic movie and get access to memorial database. It's a military museum and no fancy extras are to be desired here. But I had an impression that it was necessary to improve condition inside the buildings. In the second building disorder and devastation was spotted. Signs of reconstruction. I hope it's reconstructed. The access to it was closed. Good museum overall.
Yuri S — Google review
This famous site near the War of Independence and Six Day War battlefield site of Latrun has been built into the Israeli Armoured Corps museum site. It is a fascinating site with one of the finest collection of armoured vehicles dating back even before world war 2. This varied collection is due to the fact that Israel even before its founding and certainly after its independence did nit have the means or the markets to purchase cutting edge armour for its young army and as such had to search the world and buy whatever they could get their hands on. This museum shows how they have evolved int the manufacturer of probably the best tank in the world, the Merkavah or Chariot in Hebrew. The museum honers the fallen soldiers from each of Israels wars in a deep and touching manner. The exhibits are very well thought of and executed. Its a great place to stop just of the main Tel-Aviv -Jerusalem highway.
D S — Google review
A place where you can see the evolution of tanks and most of all the learn about the complicated relation with bordering countries. A memorial site for the Israeli defense force. It was a emotional place learning about not so old history of that country, seeing middle school kids visiting for a educational tour and very young teenage adults in full uniform guarding the place.

The Ashkelon park, is a beautiful place for all ages it has some very ancient archaeology stuff dating back to 2000bce! Also it's situated on top of a cliff overlooking the water, which adds a unique touch to the place!! (28₪ per adult and worth every shekel) has a few parking lots too

Admission is 28 shekels per adult and 14 shekels for teenagers. It's very spacious, and people are enjoying picnics everywhere. We visited here to see historical sites, and we saw the Canaanite City Gate, the walls, etc. The stunning view of the Mediterranean was impressive.

Really excellent camp site and national park with plenty of room to pitch a tent or have a picnic. We found a spot overlooking the sea which was spectacular (see picture). There are plenty of other things to see around the site. We'll certainly be returning. Toilets were clean at all hours of the day. Showers were fine. There are fridges and phone charging facilities available. Mattresses can be rented. The site is clean and rules are followed so that there are no morons blasting music and it is quiet at night. Parking is fine and we were able to enter fairly quickly. There are trolleys to ferry stuff around but not many and you have to hunt them down.

Museum
Cultural center
Yad Vashem, established in 1953, is a memorial complex dedicated to honoring the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. It also pays tribute to the bravery of Jewish resistance fighters and non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during that time. Located on Har Hazikaron in Jerusalem, it includes monuments, a historical museum, an archive and research center for documenting the Holocaust, and an educational facility. The museum's exhibitions are emotionally moving and flawlessly organized.
The Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem is one of the most powerful and educational experiences in Israel. It offers a deeply moving journey through the history of the Holocaust, combining personal stories, historical documents, and multimedia exhibits that bring the past to life. The museum doesn’t just present facts—it helps visitors truly understand the human impact of the events and the importance of remembrance. It’s an essential visit for anyone who wants to learn about the Holocaust in a meaningful and thought-provoking way.
Tamir A — Google review
I visited this place with friends, you should prepare yourself very well emotionally and spiritually, it's not like any museum, the way it design is really unique and the narrative meanwhile the diversity of the contents,the way they present in the same time the politics aspects. I hope this place will be more open to accepting people from different perspectives and religions. The location of this place is provocative for some people and neighbors, that's what I heard.
Hamdi H — Google review
Outstanding. A must see if you come to Israel. The museum has a terrific, modern architecture with plenty of significance. The displays are in chronological order. I thought I knew a lot about the Holocaust and found out I knew very little. The displays are super powerful.

Absolutely fascinating place. You'll need a booking reservation. This can be completed on arrival, but entry could be delayed. Bags aren't permitted. Free lockers are available downstairs. There is more to the place than you may think. Be sure you have plenty of time. It's definitely worth the time.

A must visit museum for every person on the planet. The horrible history our not that distant ancestors experienced must not be forgotten and learned in the near and distant future. The visit takes around two hours and includes lots of exhibits, interview with survivors ands lots of interesting reading materials. The building itself is very impressive and the view in the end is mesmerizing. Note that you must have a green pass to enter.

A highly emotional experience. The exhibition is finely thought-out and presented, fully encapsulating the reasons, results and outcome of the Holocaust. The complex also includes several memorials set around the park. Admittance is free, so there is no reason that precludes the curious visitor of visiting the museum. A must-visit when you’re in Jerusalem.

The Israel Museum in Jerusalem is a must-visit for art and archaeology enthusiasts. It houses an extensive collection that spans from prehistoric artifacts to modern art, including the famous Dead Sea Scrolls. The museum also features archaeological exhibits showcasing the region's history, biblical and religious artifacts, and a diverse range of art pieces from modern Israeli works to ancient American art.
This is an absolute must see venue. The expansive, well documented display cases with adequate room to comfortably view and study. This place multistory so plan on several hours of enjoyment and learning. We need to go back a second time! The mosaics are beautiful.

This is a must destination you can't afford to miss during your stay in Jerusalem. A detail visit will take a full day. You could check many antiquits out according to different history period of Jerusalem. The main difference between Tower of David and here is that many exclusive antitiquits are in display. The Tower of David, on the other hand, is mainly fous on history narrative.

This was the most impressive museum we have ever been to! We enjoyed it so much we went twice during our time in Jerusalem! Thinking we were just going to see important Israeli artifacts, we were extremely surprised to see archaeological remains from around the world, painting a picture of the evolution of civilization. There were also Jewish displays of life and art, modern and contemporary art from around the world, and the most amazing outdoor display of a replica of Jerusalem’s Old City during the time of The Second Temple. The biggest treat were The Dead Sea Scrolls, which I did not know much about until seeing this exhibit. Excellent collection!

Lovely museum. Highly recommend. I would recommend the museum provide more details for the artifact descriptions and better directions on how to navigate the exhibits as we double backed and got lost a few times.

It was very educational. Raining outside and roof was leaking along the walls when you walk in. You can spend all day here if you’re really into archaeology and history.
Mark T — Google review
This was a highlight of our trip. It's a huge museum with lots of various exhibits with various themes and overall, it's very well done. It is very big though, and directions to certain exhibits weren't as clear as we'd hope so we did waste some time looking around for things as it's not labeled well. With that said, there's a lot to see and learn about. The must see is the Shrine of the Book where you can see the Dead Sea Scrolls and Qumran. There are a lot of archaeological artifacts all throughout this massive place and so getting here early in the day is advised so you can see as much as you want without having to rush. When we were there, they had replicas of various old synagogues from different corners of the world and it was very interesting. I could ramble on and on about everything there is to do there, but it's forever changing, so when you know you're going to the area, look up what they have showing and head to those exhibits first. Based on the fact that there's so much to take in and exhibits that change often, this is definitely a place you can come to several times. There's a beautiful gift shop at the exit (of course) and I can't really speak to parking much as we took a taxi there and back, but definitely be sure not to miss out on a visit here when you're in Jerusalem.

I can't believe I have lived in Israel for 27 years and it took me this long to visit this incredible museum. I felt connected to the powerful history of this important city in a way that I never had before. I needed more time to explore than I realized that I would and I will return soon.

Church of the Holy Sepulchre

Mentioned on 
+144 other lists 
Church
Sights & Landmarks
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a historic basilica dating back to the 4th century and is believed by some Christians to be the site of Jesus's tomb. The church holds immense historical significance, with its roots tracing back through thousands of years of Jewish history, from Byzantine Rule to the British Mandate. Visitors can experience a whirlwind tour that includes stops at iconic sites like the Western Wall, Via Dolorosa, and Bethlehem.
The church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (as part of Jerusalem’s Old City) and contains artifacts like Crusader-era graffiti and Byzantine mosaics. • Excavations and repairs often reveal new insights, such as the 2016 uncovering of the original rock surface of Jesus’ tomb, confirming its historical continuity.

Come here as early as possible: Before 8:00 in the morning. Avoid visiting during 10:00-1400 because this is the most popular time for guide tour. Otherwise, come here after late 18:00. In doing so, separate you Via Dodorosa walk into 2 parts. One part is station 1-7 which is outside church and another station 8-14 in the church. This is possible by 2 day's visit instead of 1. By doing so, you will be rewarded greatly. An empty, serene and sacred church is all for you. No queue, no smoke, no noisy. Reflection at a corner, what a kind of spiritual awakeness. Praise Lord!

Interesting site. Im Christian, not Catholic, so I dont love all the idols everywhere, but beautiful church and historic, no doubt. I also dont know how they know these sites are legit, but its a cool place to see.
Jonathan W — Google review
Was lucky enough to go with a tour guide and get a full run down of the space - it’s obviously supremely important to many sects and denominations in Christianity and the reverence for that was evident - many people were over come with emotions. As well as pointing out various things to us, the guide pointed out some of the possible over zealous aspects too, saying people had fought over the privilege of clearing the area outside the church (including a fight to the death over whether the bottom step was to be cleaned by one group or another) and a bench occupied by a large man in religious robes who sits there all day, because that is his denominations bench and no others are allowed to sit there. It’s amazing to see the various places where Jesus’ body was placed and buried, but also to see the reaction of people to those things. It’s also one of the areas where you feel tourism hasn’t taken over - quiet reverence in full effect. Make the trip if you ever can

Absolutely beautiful and moving church it was an amazing experience to visit the site of Jesus christs crucifixion and resurrection.

A Must-See Spiritual Odyssey at Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem If you’re planning a pilgrimage or simply seeking a profoundly moving historical site, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre is an absolute must-see. This sacred complex sits at the heart of Jerusalem’s Christian heritage, offering a poignant blend of faith, history, and sacred artistry that stays with you long after you depart. What makes it essential Spiritual significance: Beyond its centuries-old walls, the church holds a central place in Christian pilgrimage, believed to enshrine the sites of the Crucifixion and Resurrection. The aura of reverence and prayer is felt in every corner. Architectural and artistic richness: The church’s mosaics, domes, and iconography reflect a tapestry of artistic traditions from many eras and cultures, creating a living museum of devotion. Historic continuity and ritual: Despite centuries of change, the site remains a dynamic center of liturgy and devotion, with pilgrims and worshippers from around the world sharing in timeless ceremonies. Quiet reflection amid bustle: Amid the crowds, intimate chapels and sacred spaces invite personal prayer, contemplation, and a sense of connection to the continuity of faith. Cultural and historical tapestry: The site intersects with broader histories—Byzantine, Crusader, Ottoman—offering a vivid lens into Jerusalem’s layered past. What to expect Sacred spaces and holy sites: Stations of the Cross, tomb sites, and chapels offer moments for personal devotion, guided tours, and reflective time. Guided and self-guided insights: Knowledgeable guides share historical context, archaeological highlights, and the significance of rituals observed by pilgrims and clergy. Sensory experience: The scent of incense, the glow of candlelight, the echo of whispers and prayers—this is a multi-sensory encounter with faith and history. Practical tips Dress modestly and respectfully in line with local customs for sacred spaces. Plan for crowds and lines: Early morning or late afternoon visits may offer a calmer experience. Carry a small prayer book or notes if you’d like to reflect or journal. Respect photography rules in various chapels and sacred sites. Bottom line The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem is more than a landmark—it’s a spiritual pilgrimage, a work of art, and a window into centuries of faith. For believers and curious travelers alike, it’s an essential stop on any Jerusalem itinerary, offering profound moments of reverence, history, and shared humanity.

I’m a Christian and a priest-in-training, and this just wasn’t for me in terms of finding a connection with Jesus or feeling close to God. I can appreciate the craftsmanship of the building, and the significance of the site, but for so many reasons I felt sad and anguished in this place. Worth a visit, but leaves you with much to reflect on. There were many other places on pilgrimage that left me breathless. The Holy Sepulchre was unfortunately not one of them.
Gael R — Google review
This is the most holy site in Jerusalem. This is the place where our Lord Jesus Christ was laid in a tomb after he was brought down from the cross. The place is usually very crowded. Better be there early in the morning to avoid the rush. The historical structure looks awesome. You can feel the peace and holiness as you enter in. A must visit place.

The Garden of Gethsemane, located at the base of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, is a remarkable site steeped in Christian heritage and historical depth. This serene olive grove is renowned as the location where Jesus prayed prior to his arrest, making it a significant pilgrimage destination for many Christians. The garden boasts ancient olive trees that are thought to be over 900 years old, offering visitors a tangible link to its biblical narrative.
This is the location where Jesus was praying that the cup might pass from Him but "Not my will, but yours" was His prayer He was betrayed here by Judas. I was blessed to obtain a key to a private area where I was able to sit among the olive trees and pray privately

The olive trees that are hundreds of years old are a wonderful reminder of history as well as Scripture about Jesus in his time here. There is a niche in the garden to pray. The trees are very well kept and it is peaceful. The Church of All Nations just beside the garden is also very moving. It contains ancient mosaics. For any pilgrim this experience will be very moving.

So peaceful, so beautiful. We visited the place right before closing time, and I'm so glad we did because the timing was perfect. There were not a lot of people there anymore so we got to enjoy and take in the place without a crowd. There is a special tranquility to the place, even if some heavy traffic is right there besides the site. Still you can totally enjoy your stroll, I honestly didn't even notice the sounds of traffic. The olive trees are so beautiful...

Interesting to see the place that was written about in the New Testament. Seeing the Olive trees and the garden gives you perspective and allows you take thoughts back to the time when Jesus walked in Jerusalem. The garden is not that big. There are crowds that are there as it is very popular. There are plenty of photo opportunities. Its a must stop in Jerusalem if you prefer to walk in the footsteps of Jesus.

Again this is one place that you CANNOT miss on your trip to Israel. It's where JESUS sweated blood- because HE knew the immense suffering (the Cup of Suffering) HE was about to endure. JESUS CHRIST was praying to HIS FATHER & the Disciples kept falling asleep & HE asked them could you not stay & pray with me even for one hour? Very significant place at these 2000 year old Olive trees. 🫒

Beautiful Olive Tree garden outside the historic Church of all Nations near the Mount of Olives. The garden is filled with ancient olive trees and is a place of peace and rest. The garden is at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem where, according to the four Gospels of the New Testament, Jesus underwent the agony in the garden and was arrested before his crucifixion. Breathtaking location in Israel.

The Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall, is a significant site in the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem. It is a remnant of the ancient wall that surrounded the Temple courtyard and holds great religious and historical importance for Jewish people. Visitors can witness worshippers reciting verses or leaving written prayers in its stones. The wall was built around 2000 years ago to support Temple Mount, and after the destruction of the Second Temple, it became a place for lamentation.

This is the holiest site at which Jews are permitted to pray. In 1925 the Moslem Waqf published a pamphlet that explicitly acknowledged the Kotel as part of Solomon's Temple, declaring "Its identity with the site of Solomon's Temple is beyond dispute". After Israel's creation in 1948 the so called Palestinians deny any connection of Jews to the site.

The first time I came here I felt a charge of energy when I touched the wall. I wasn’t religious but couldn’t explain the overwhelming amount of emotion that came over me.

After Israel's creation in 1948 the so called Palestinians deny any connection of Jews to the site.

The first time I came here I felt a charge of energy when I touched the wall. I wasn’t religious but couldn’t explain the overwhelming amount of emotion that came over me. That was over ten years ago. Last year I came back, now religious, and feel so blessed to have the opportunity to come here and daven on behalf of my friends and family.

The holiest place on Earth. The only remaining wall left standing after the Roman destruction of the second temple built by Herod. It has become the beacon for Judaism for the last 2000 years. Jews as well as all monothiests come here to beseech thier creator. One day soon it will be rebuilt to its proper grandeur

The Kotel is pure holiness — a spiritual place kept beautifully, with water, clean bathrooms, and everything maintained just as such a makom kadosh deserves.

Historic Sites
The Mount of Olives, a historic mountain referenced in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, holds significant religious and cultural importance. It has been a sacred spot for centuries and is now home to several important churches and holy sites. Notably, it was mentioned in the Scriptures as King David's escape route during his son's rebellion and later in the prophets. In the New Testament, it is where Jesus taught his disciples, wept over Jerusalem, and ascended into heaven.
Located in the old city Jerusalem. It is in walking distance from old city, and got lotsa historic & religious importance for Judaism.

Fntastic experience. I strongly recoment going from the bottom to the top using, not the road, but the stairs. It will give you the opportunity to visit the valley of the kings. At the bottom of the valley, and then to duscover amzing views of old Jeruslem, the wall, the valley, and the miriad of tumbs, step by step. Better if you start your visit at 15:30 or 16:00 so that you can appreciate the sunset from the top.

Such an amazing spot to visit. The views over Jerusalem from the top are incredible. The hike up is steep and takes some time, but is definitely worth it. The views are especially amazing during sunset.

The Mount of Olives, just east of Jerusalem’s Old City, offers one of the most iconic views of the city. From its slopes, you can see the ancient walls, the Dome of the Rock, and the full sweep of Jerusalem’s layered past. Beyond the view, the Mount is rich in history and culture. It’s been a burial site for over 3,000 years and holds deep significance in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions. Landmarks like the ancient Jewish cemetery, the Garden of Gethsemane, and several historic churches reflect the area’s central role in the story of Jerusalem. Even for non-religious visitors, walking among the olive trees and centuries-old paths is a powerful experience. The mix of quiet, history, and panoramic beauty makes it one of the city’s most memorable spots. ***Visit early or late in the day for softer light and fewer crowds.

From here you can oversee the entire city of Jerusalem. It's a beautiful spot to be. This view is just incredible and to see the historic places from above is really special. You won't regret it to come to this Place. It has a lot to offer.

This is where you get the iconic photo of old city Jerusalem. It is in walking distance from old city, just exit from lion gate and walk up the hill. Taxi will cost you about 10 usd but since it is about a half an hour walk I recommend walking. There is also a viewing area specifically for taking the photos

Amazing place to see the Old City from a high point of view. It is really wonderful to see the sunset as the lights start to come on, something which I could call magical. Getting here can be a bit confusing and tiring in the summer, but it's completely worth it.

National park
Sights & Landmarks
Beit Guvrin-Maresha National Park is a sprawling 5 sq km park nestled in the Judean Hills, offering a diverse range of attractions. Visitors can explore burial-cave paintings, a Roman amphitheater, and a Byzantine fort and church. The park is home to various wildlife such as mountain gazelles, hyenas, and songbirds.
An amazing place to hike on a spring day. Beautiful architectures from biblical time with rich historical stories. A big wild life. A lot of caves in the area. Well described and maintained area. Difficulty level easy.I highly recommend to travel on foot to experience all the beauty, especially the bathing cave and the Church. It takes approx 3 to 4 hours to complete circular trail. The trails are very scenic.

Very attractive place. You can spend all day long in this fabulous place. The most exciting place is place #11. So, save your energy for the last point. The track is not very difficult for a walk, but there is a possibility to drive a car from point to point. There are a few shops during the track where you can buy water, juice, or ice cream and shaded rest areas where you can eat the snacks that you brought with you.

Amazing historical park. Didn’t like the fact that 20 minutes before closing the stuff already closed the gift store and we couldn’t buy an ice cream for kids after a long walk at the heat. Unfortunately, such things are usual in Israel but 20 minutes it is way too much!

Impressive man made caves, of mind-blowing proportions 2000 years ago. Erosion starts to take its toll, we were here 10 years ago and can testify to weather (rain) damaging some parts , lime stone being a soft mineral. Go visit before it will have disappeared, and do not forget the Roman town on the other side of the road, with a very large theatre and other major sites. A less toured archaeological site, but worth every minute spent on the road.to get here

Big park with different points of interest. My wife and I came here to see local caves, but it was interesting to see other places here as well. The main thing is to correctly estimate the time needed to view everything interesting here. At least 2-3 hours.

Great place to visit during the spring. There are no shadows so keep in mind hats and other sun protections. Awesome wind and blossom It’s not trolley/wheel compatible tracks - only bell caverns are accessible for chair wheel or trolley. Will revisit it again definitely

Very interesting place. At spring it also very green and many flowers. Many places to make picnic. Caves worth visiting at every age. Children were excited and wanted more caves. No shade almost during the trail.
