During the nineteen years of the Jordanian occupation, the Jewish quarter was empty, and during the Six-day War 1967 war, Jordanian troops blew up most of the houses before retreating from Jerusalem. The quarter was restored, but not all houses were restored. Some territory was reserved for car parking for residents of the city. Here begins Cardo Street - the main street of the old city.
The tour begins in the car park near the Zion gate. This parking lot is the most convenient for wheelchairs and most close to the old city. The route runs along the flat part of the city completely avoiding steps and steep climbs or descents. The path to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher passes through the Jewish and Christian quarters, the ancient Cardo street and the markets of the Christian part of the city.
Don't be afraid to get lost in new places!
