Unique views of the Old City and the new city that can only be seen from the top of the Ottoman walls. Entry fee is very budget friendly, text content on signs and models along the way make it convenient for self guided tours too.
Ramparts Walks
Photo: Ramparts Walks
View the city of Jerusalem from atop of the Old City walls via a Ramparts Walk whereby you walk on most of the ancient city’s walls.
The walk is divided into two parts: The Northern Rampart’s Walk ascends at Jaffa Gate and descends at New Gate and ends at Herod’s Gate. The Southern Ramparts Walk ascends at Jaffa Gate and descends at Zion Gate or Dung Gate. There is a direct exit from the northern Ramparts Walk to the Roman Plaza and/or Zedekiah’s Cave to streamline the touring and sightseeing experience.

“Nice way to visit Jerusalem from the top. Nice guide with explanations of the places, pictures and fun facts”
Not very clear where the numbers in the guide were actually in the walk. No shade, could do with more explanations in the different places
