The old city is obviously the place you want to go. Once you see the ancient walls you just have to be in awe of all the history that has happened in this city. I don't how long you should spend here to see it all. Just an incredible place.
juha from Finland wrote about Western Wall one month ago
Cool history. I especially liked the fact that tho holiest part of the wall was so holy that only a certain high priest can visit it through a cave etc. They tied a rope to him so that if he'd die while in the cave they could pull him out, as the place was so holy that no one else was allowed to visit. Crazy are the things that people do for religion...
