Aparcamiento
There is no easy parking at the site. The Karta and Mamilla paid lots by Jaffa Gate are about a 20-minute walk (the park itself suggests taking a taxi from there); the small Mount Zion / David's Tomb lot is about 9 minutes away but has very few spaces. Coming by bus or light rail, or by taxi through Jaffa Gate, is usually less painful than driving.
Cómo llegar
Buses 1, 3, 38 and 2 serve the Western Wall; from the Kotel it is a 2-minute walk out through Dung Gate. Taxis may drive in through Jaffa Gate at any hour.
Cuánto tiempo reservar1.5-2 hours for the self-guided route EdadesTunnel entry is recommended from age 5. Physically demanding: many steps, a steep ridge and a long narrow underground tunnel with water up to about 70 cm deep. Interior o exteriorInterior y exterior En Shabat y festividadesCerrado Mejor momentoEarly morning in summer; the ridge is exposed with little shade. Avoid chol hamoed, when the tunnels are at their most crowded. AccesibilidadNot wheelchair or stroller accessible - the official route description states it includes steps and walking in an underground tunnel.
Consejos locales
- Book a time slot online; last entry to the water tunnel is 1.5 hours before closing.
- Hezekiah's Tunnel holds water up to ~70 cm - wear shoes that can get wet and pack a change of clothes.
- Prefer to stay dry? Take the Canaanite tunnel instead; same site, no wading.
- A ₪7 shuttle saves the steep climb back up from the Pool of Siloam.
- Closes 14:00 Friday and all Shabbat, so Friday visits must start early.
