Walking tour in Jerusalem Old City

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 #Israel #Jerusalem There are eight gates in the old city, all with clear indicators We entered the Old City from the Jaffa Gate. Entering the old town gives me a feeling of walking into history. Seeing the beige low-rise buildings, walking in the narrow alleys with cobblestone roads, and watching the merchants selling modern souvenirs, I feel like a time traveler. In fact, there are four areas in the old city: the Armenian quarter, the Christian quarter, the Muslim quarter, and the Jewish quarter. After entering through the Jaffa Gate is the Armenian Quarter, which is also the closest gate to the Western Wall. In fact, no matter which door you come in from, there are clear signs leading you to the Wailing Wall. On the contrary, Google maps are not very accurate in the alleys, so just follow the signs! When we finally tried to leave the old town, we couldn't find the exit. Every alley seemed like a maze. Finally, we asked a passerby where the bus stop was, and he kindly took us to the stop. We thought we had met a kind person, but he actually asked us for a $100 tip! Dumbfounded! We didn't give him any money because we were afraid that our wallet would be snatched away as soon as we took it out. Everyone should still be careful when asking passers-by for directions. Later I thought it would be a safer option to ask the store owner!
