Yerushalayim Ir HaKodesh: the Kosel and the Old City, Geula and Meah Shearim, and shuls on every street. Kevarim nearby include Shimon HaTzaddik, Kever Dovid HaMelech and Har HaZeisim.

Before you fly: US and other visa-exempt visitors need an approved ETA-IL before flying to Israel. It costs 25 NIS, is good for two years or until your passport expires (whichever comes first), and allows stays of up to 90 days each visit. A new passport needs a new ETA-IL. Apply on the official site, israel-entry.piba.gov.il, at least 72 hours before your flight.Source: israel-entry.piba.gov.il · il.usembassy.gov, checked Nov 2026 · tip from ivelt

Walking times are estimates: straight-line distance × 1.3 at about 80 m a minute. Driving times are road routes without traffic (OpenStreetMap routing); where a route is missing we show “≈”, straight line × 1.4 at city speed. No prices or ratings here; each hotel links to Google Maps reviews and a Booking.com search.

Minyan

Chabad houses first. Call ahead for minyan times.
