The 11 Best Things to See and Do in Israel

"Located just outside Jerusalem, Herodium is a hill fortress with palatial ruins, underground tunnels and caves, lookout points with wide views, and the famous tomb of Herod the Great — a quieter alternative to busier sites like Masada. " - Matthew Kepnes

Such an amazing place. So much history. 197 steps to go up, and then down by the tunnels, and then back up again 197 steps. The view is so far, even if its a bit cloudy. Make sure to hear the podcasts about this place ahead of time, but if you missed it, there are 2 videos on site to explain.

We happened to go on a spontaneous trip to visit this historic site and it was basically empty because of the time time of day. The site is very well taken care of and beautiful to see. We had a great time! Highly recommend to those who love history and biblical sites

A powerful scene of the place. I was not aware of this place before I came to visit Israel and was surprised by its grand design and construction. Will learn something more about Harold and the history in his time.

I’ve visited a couple dozen of the national parks while in country. This one was one of my favorite. The videos in conjunction with the ruins really gave perspective on Herods rule and conquests.

Powerful place! The place is restored and very historical, showing the history of Herod. Place has strong gates with cameras, if you are arriving on your own, just wait a couple of minutes and they will open it, it's a safe and good place to visit.

Would deserve more than 5 stars. A true architectural wonder. Could easily spend days here exploring the tunnel system, the beautifully saved palace remains, and last but not least the sweeping view. Let me note that Herod's Tomb was discovered in 2007, pretty recently. Also, please remember: the tour could be strenuous. Carry water and do not underestimate challenges.

An incredible ride with a small steep incline of a hike. They are continuing to do lots of work at this site and it’s always developing. Lots of beautiful things to see and much to explore! Very worth there entrance fee.

Historical place, Herod the great who arder to kill all the babies under two years old trying to kill the new born baby Jesus, he also build a castle for himself in this location at Judea wilderness area near Bethlehem and he ordered his slaves to hide it by moving the mountain which was beside the castle and cover it with this moved mountain to hide it from the enemies. One more information that from the top of it you can see 3 main buildings, the temple in Jerusalem that he build to please the Jews, Masada near the dead sea and the patriarchs tomp in Hebron (Mechpelah Cave) where he build a holy place for Jews to pray and worship God.
