By bicycle from Old City to Jerusalem

Take a short but scenic ride from Jerusalem’s enchanting Old City to the heart of modern Jerusalem! Starting at the Old City walls—a UNESCO World Heritage site teeming with history and sacred sites—you’ll wind your way out of the ancient maze onto city streets. The ride is about 4.2 km—ideal for an active afternoon—with a mix of road types: you’ll mostly be on paved and asphalt surfaces, with the occasional stretch of stones and cobblestone for that classic Jerusalem feel.

You’ll tackle a fair bit of ascent (about 144m up!), so get ready for a good workout as you climb and coast through Jerusalem’s unique neighborhoods. You’ll mostly use quiet roads and some pedestrian areas, perfect for soaking up the city’s buzzing atmosphere. End your journey in the lively center of modern Jerusalem, with its bustling markets, cafes, and cultural hotspots. This route is a fun blend of ancient and new, just like Jerusalem itself!
