TRAVEL TIPS

Getting Here and Around

To explore the key sites in one day, keep in mind opening times and geography, and plan accordingly. Beat the security line for the Temple Mount (Muslim shrines) with a really early start; the only entrance is above the Western Wall and visiting times are limited. Exit the northern end of the mount to the Via Dolorosa and Holy Sepulcher. Entering the Old City via Jaffa Gate will take you right to the Holy Sepulcher and on to the Western Wall. Lions' Gate is best for beginning with St. Anne's Church and the Via Dolorosa. Damascus Gate plunges you into the bazaar, and thence to whatever sequence of sights you prefer. Of course, you can spread your visit over more than one day.
