Our Newest Tour in the Western Wall Tunnels

New Tour – The Great Bridge Route!

New Tour in the Western Wall Tunnels – The Great Bridge Route is open to the public!
After years of development work and archeological preservation, we are happy to launch a new tour route in the Western Wall Tunnels: The Great Bridge route.
The Western Wall Tunnels will now include two fascinating tours –
The Great Stone tour (the classic route) includes a tour along the length of the Western Wall, a visit to the site closest to the Holy of Holies, and a visit to the Western Wall’s huge stone.
The new route – The Great Bridge Route – will take visitors one more level under the Old City where you will see the Great Bridge that led to the Temple Mount. This route will showcase different rooms and halls that served the people of that time, new and exciting findings, and a first glimpse at newly exposed courses of the Western Wall.
This is a unique and fascinating route under the Old City below the tremendous bridge that led to the Temple during the Second Temple period. The route passes exciting sites and findings from the Second Temple period and includes a look at a new exposure of the Western Wall.

The Great Bridge Route!

The new route takes you on a tour into a lower, deeper layer under the city to new areas to witness new discoveries that aren’t included in the other tour.

Of course! One of the highlights of this route is the encounter with stones of the Western Wall that have been re-exposed after 1,700 years.

Because of multiple stairs the new route is not wheelchair accessible yet.

The tour is about 60 minutes long.

The entrance to the new route is through the lobby of the Western Wall Tunnels sites, to the left of the prayer plaza.
