Sortie rapide à vélo de Jérusalem-Est à Old City

This cycling route takes you from the vibrant neighborhoods of East Jerusalem down to the iconic Old City, covering just under 9 kilometers. It's an urban ride, so expect a mix of quiet backstreets and more active city roads—perfect for anyone who wants to soak in the sights but avoid heavy traffic.

You’ll start in East Jerusalem, an area rich with different cultures, markets, and street life. The route offers a blend of history and modernity as you pedal past residential areas, small shops, and occasional patches of greenery. There are some short climbs and descents—enough to get your heart rate up, but nothing out of reach for casual cyclists.

As you approach the Old City, prepare for some rougher surfaces (hello, cobblestone!) and bustling pedestrian areas, especially near the ancient walls. The Old City itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site jam-packed with historic and religious landmarks, so it’s a great place to end your ride and maybe park the bike for some exploring on foot.

Don’t forget your camera—you’ll get a mix of urban views and some fantastic old Jerusalem charm on this unforgettable ride!
