What to expect

  1. Jaffa Gate

    We will meet at Jaffa Gate
  2. Tower of David Museum of the History of Jerusalem
    25m · Admission ticket included
    We will start the tour with a quick overview of the history of Jerusalem and a view of the old city from the tower.
  3. Western Wall
    15m
    The Western Wall is considered holy due to its connection to the Temple Mount. Because of the Temple Mount entry restrictions, the Wall is the holiest place where Jews are permitted to pray, though the holiest site in the Jewish faith lies behind it.
  4. Temple Mount
    45m
    We're planning to explore the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, a truly remarkable destination. Our visit will provide us with insights into the significance of this site for followers of Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
  5. Le Via Crucis/ Way of the Cross/ Chemin de Croix
    1h
    After leaving the Temple Mount, our next stop will be the Via Dolorosa, the path Jesus walked carrying the heavy cross from the judgment site to Golgotha.
  6. Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Miechow
    20m
    The Church of the Holy Sepulcher holds unparalleled significance as the holiest site for millions of Christians worldwide. It marks the exact location where Jesus was crucified, buried, and subsequently resurrected. In its early history during the Byzantine era, it was even more expansive and carried the name "The Resurrection Church," commemorating the pivotal event of Jesus' resurrection from the dead.
  7. The Cardo
    15m
    Following a brief interlude, our journey will resume as we tread upon the Cardo, a Roman-era thoroughfare that has endured for over two millennia.
  8. Mount Zion
    45m
    Mount Zion is steeped in historical significance, and our visit will include stops at the Room of the Last Supper and King David's Tomb. If our schedule permits, we'll also explore the Dormition Abbey Church, traditionally believed to be the place where Mary, the mother of Jesus, peacefully "slept."
  9. Armenian Quarter
    15m
    The Armenian presence in Jerusalem traces its roots back to the 4th century AD, coinciding with Armenia's adoption of Christianity as its national faith. During this period, Armenian monks established their residence in Jerusalem. Our itinerary includes a visit to an Armenian church, and if you're interested, you'll also have the option to explore an Armenian Pottery Shop.
