Tickets

Adult ₪30 Child ₪15

₪30 adult; ₪15 for under-18s, students, soldiers in compulsory service, seniors and people with disabilities. Booking and payment in advance are required; sessions outside the published hours can be arranged with at least two weeks' notice.

Discounts

Half price (₪15) for children up to 18, students, serving soldiers, seniors and visitors with disabilities, with the relevant certificate.

Parking

Same problem as the rest of the Kotel: the Dung Gate car park is small, and Mamilla (first hour free) or Karta by Jaffa Gate are the fallback, 15-20 minutes away on foot.

Getting there

Buses 1, 3 and 38 to the Western Wall; light rail to City Hall then a walk through Jaffa Gate.

How long to allowAbout 40 minutes AgesBest from about age 8 - it is a narrated walk-through rather than a hands-on attraction. Indoor or outdoorIndoor On Shabbat and chagimClosed Best time to goEasy to pair with a Western Wall Tunnels slot on the same visit - both start from the same entrance. AccessibilityAccessible for up to 2 wheelchairs per tour, so say you need one when booking.

Insider tips

Entrance is at the same lobby as the Western Wall Tunnels sites.
Book ahead; walk-ins are not accepted and English sessions are limited.
Only two wheelchair places per tour - flag accessibility needs when you reserve.
Short enough (40 min) to slot in before or after the tunnels tour.
