We went from Jaffa gate to Zion gate. It’s more strenuous than I expected. Not good for people who don’t have an easy time climbing and descending very steep stairs. It’s a good view but not a must see.
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.

“Only for strong legs”
Definitely one of the best ways to spend a couple of hours in Jerusalem. Take the tickets 35 Nis (which is nothing!!!), walk up the first stairs and ... GO! Only pity that - due to restoration works - the path is interrupted at Herods Gate ... You cannot come back as the path is...
MoreDefinitely one of the best ways to spend a couple of hours in Jerusalem. Take the tickets 35 Nis (which is nothing!!!), walk up the first stairs and ... GO! Only pity that - due to restoration works - the path is interrupted at Herods Gate ... You cannot come back as the path is so narrow that is only ONE WAY. Do not miss it!! (Careful not recommended for aging and not fit people)

“Beautiful view”
Fantastic view to the mount of olives. And you feel like a watcher on the wall, praying for the peace of Jerusalem, Also a touch of medieval times. You can walk this from the modern Jerusalem, on your way to the western wall and mount of olives.
