Walking in Jerusalem's Old City

Explore the Old City on foot: many of its narrow lanes and alleyways cannot be reached by car. Check longer routes elsewhere in Jerusalem before committing to them.

Walking in Jerusalem's Old City

Why go

Walking is the practical way to see the Old City's lanes, because cars cannot enter many of them. It also lets you notice the passages between its different areas at your own pace. Treat that as guidance for the Old City rather than a promise that every Jerusalem journey is easy on foot. Decide how you will reach the area, then plan the lanes themselves as a walking visit.

Useful to know

  • Plan the Old City portion of your visit on foot; many lanes are inaccessible to cars.
  • Check the route before walking between the Old City and another part of Jerusalem.
