No charge to walk the village. Individual churches, the Chagall Windows at the Hadassah Ein Kerem hospital synagogue and any guided tour are ticketed separately.

Stationnement
Paid lot on HaMaayan Street, plus limited free street parking that fills up at weekends. The lanes are narrow and one-way in places - arrive early or come by bus.
Y aller
Bus 28 runs to Ein Kerem; pick it up from the Mount Herzl light rail station. Taxis are easy to get for the return.
Temps à prévoir2-4 hours with a meal ÂgesGood for all ages, but the village is built on a slope with steep lanes and steps - hard going with a stroller. Intérieur ou extérieurExtérieur Chabbat et fêtesPartiellement ouvert Meilleur momentSpring, when the valley is green and the almond blossom is out, or a mild autumn afternoon. Summer afternoons are hot on the uphill lanes. AccessibilitéNot an easy route: winding, steep streets and steps throughout. The main street and some cafes are manageable, the churches largely are not.
Conseils d'initiés
  • Take bus 28 from the Mount Herzl light rail stop rather than driving into the narrow lanes.
  • Comfortable shoes: the village is built on a slope and everything involves a climb.
  • Galleries are often open on Shabbat when the rest of Jerusalem is shut.
  • Combine with the Chagall Windows at the Hadassah Ein Kerem synagogue up the hill.
  • The wadi path below HaMaayan Street is one of the few quiet green walks inside Jerusalem.
