  Prachtig uitzicht over de oude stad. Zeker de moeite waard. Heb je geen zin of tijd om het hele museum te bezoeken vraag dan bij de kassa of je alleen de toren mag bezoeken voor het uitzicht.  more »

  Beautiful view over the old town. Definitely worth it. If you don't feel like time to visit the whole museum, ask at checkout if you only have to visit the tower for the view.

  I have been here twice and never regretted it. Very cool archeological site and on top the main exhibit covering the history of the city really is very well done. Solid explanation texts and great didactic material. Particularly enjoyed all the models they have that help you make the old stages of the city come to live. Not a cheap ticket, but if you want to understand the over 4000 years of history of Jerusalem, I cannot recommend it enough
