"Where the Sacred Past and Present Meet The Western Wall (also called the Kotel) is a remnant of the ancient wall that surrounded the Jewish Temple’s courtyard in the Old City of Jerusalem. It is one of the most sacred sites in Judaism, outside the Temple Mount itself. The plaza in front of the wall is divided into separate sections for women and men. Some worshipers wedge their prayers, written on small scraps of paper, into crevices between the stones in the wall, while others stand and pray, sometimes for hours. Archeologists have uncovered layers of the wall underground through years of excavation, and via a guided tour, visitors can walk through areas of this original, unrestored site that dates back to the 1stcentury C.E."

Tony is not a religious person, half Jewish and half Catholic, he felt uncomfortable here at the Wall.

We always visit when we come to Jerusalem. Lovely atmosphere. I would always advise hats/shade , plenty of Water on warm days as very open and gets very hot.

Second-most important Jewish holy site. Difficult in full sun during the hottest parts of a summer day, but of course, not to be missed on any visit to Israel or Jerusalem. On special days, be prepared for a crowd. Wait patiently and you will get to the front to touch the wall. Plenty of fresh water for hand washing and drinking, nice (if busy) bathrooms open almost all the time. Access to Jewish quarter is up a lot of stairs, so be prepared to sweat a bit of you're heading there next...

Best place on earth. Whenever I stay in Jerusalem I go for the early morning prayers, the very first ones in the day. It is a most uplifting experience.

I entered on myself. Once or twice, I was asked either I am Jewish, and then, after I sad NO, I was wished a good day and I was left in peace to do whatever I was willing to. Of cause I was respecting all the rules described at the entrance.

The Western Wall seen here is but a tiny fraction of the whole wall that was built around the ancient city of Jerusalem and the Temple Mount, sacred to all religions. May peace prevail upon Earth and amongst all of humanity - in and of every shape, size, creed and especially religion. AMEN.

Visited the western wall few years ago, since then it's now developed. They now have a tv station set up there. It was packed with Jews there. We had a look from above looking down. The Jews believe that this wall will be part of the temple that will be built for the coming.

We were lucky to be there. Looking forward to seeing the Temple rebuilt, hopefully in our days, very soon

This place is incredible, the energy the history, very respectful place. They recently built toilets nearby, so that makes it so much easier. Very clean place; to think that it’s been around for over 3000 years and still standing - incredible
