If you like seeing monumental spaces, this is a good one. Top of a hill in Jerusalem, great views of the city, many burial sites of great Israeli leaders with good commentary on why each one was important in Israel's history - lovely visit

Independence Park

Reviewed By 249ewar - Jerusalem, Israel

With its pines and green lawns, with water runnng here and there under your feet and between huges blocks of rocks, the park has to offer quietude, serenity and rest to anyone who needs to escape the centre of town's turmoil! there are benches everywhere, but the best is just to sit under a tree, shut your eyes closed, breethe in the scents of the pines, listen to birds' singing, enjoy the frsh ess of the shadows and the beauty of the Jerusalem sky...

King David's Tomb

Reviewed By chucklazer - Herzliya, Israel

this is a holy place for the jewish people- you can access the tomb behind the dormition church. there is a separation between boys and girls, and only boys can feeely access the tomb. this a place of prayer- and a feeling of holiness surrounds it.
