It is really very interesting to do this walk because, at same time, you are looking at the old city (from above) and you are looking at the modern city outside the Wall. Don’t forget to take very comfortable shoes because the walk is quite uneven. Enjoy!
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.

“Great views. ”
Fun! The northern walk is longer and has more interesting views. Your ticket gives you access to both - northern and southern walks. It’s a one-way route so make sure to plan for a different return trip if you need to come back to Jaffa gate (the starting point).
“Very good views of the city”
It is not a walk for people who suffer from fear of hights, and you must be fairly fit because there are a lot af high steps to be climbed, but it is well worth the effort
