En bici de Jerusalén a Jerusalén Este

Roll out from central Jerusalem (around 800 m above sea level) and point your front wheel northeast toward East Jerusalem. It’s a bite-sized 3.8 km with a steady ~60 m of climbing and a longer, easy glide down. Over half the route uses quiet backstreets, with a few short stretches on regular city roads. Most of it is on asphalt, though you may hit the odd patch of mixed city surface.

You’ll likely skirt near the Old City walls—perfect excuse to pause by Damascus Gate for a peek into the souqs—or continue toward East Jerusalem’s lively streets and cafés with views edging toward the Mount of Olives. Short ride, big history.

Quick tips: watch for city traffic and rail tracks, mind your speed on the descents, and bring a lock if you want to hop off and explore.
