Jerusalem: a distinct cultural and historical setting

The wider destination of Jerusalem has its own cultural and historical focus. The Old City of Jerusalem and its walls encompass 220 historical monuments, and the city has great symbolic significance as a holy city for Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem’s Old City was built in the 7th century.

Jerusalem Walls National Park is located in central Jerusalem and encompasses historical, archaeological and religious sites. Its designation aims to preserve historical, archaeological, traditional, architectural and landscape values for public benefit. The Jerusalem Trail also offers a distinct perspective on this urban landscape: it connects Jerusalem with the Israel Trail and runs through the park along the Kidron Valley and through the Hinnom Valley. Check current trail conditions before setting out on a hike.

Museums offer further points of interest. The permanent exhibition at the Tower of David Jerusalem Museum spans ten galleries and combines innovative technology and interactive displays with archaeological finds and ancient artifacts. The Phasael Tower has a viewpoint 777 meters above sea level, offering 360-degree views across Jerusalem’s Old and New Cities.
