We stayed here for 10 days recently. A fantastic part of the city very tranquil and beautiful. Lovely walks around the lovely houses and gardens. The area overlooks the Old Walls of the City,i t was the very first neighbourhood built outside of the Old CIty. Its a very safe place to take an early morning stroll.

I have almost missed Yemin Moshe during my last visit to Jerusalem together with my step-daughter. This amazing city offers so many other attractions habitually considered more important... So glad that I insisted on at least passing through this neighborhood on our way to the Old City one morning. What an example of how history turns things inside out! The... More

an area overlooking the Old Walls of the City, this was the very first neighbourhood built outside of the Old CIty. Nice buildings, the Windmill and a nice official guesthouse there.

this was the first neighborhood established outside the walls of the old city of Jerusalem. It is now home to artists and galleries. Yemin Moshe is combined with this neighborhood, and makes a beautiful place to walk. Go there on Shabbat (Saturday) when most places are closed, and enjoy a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle of Jerusalem.... More

This area is really so beautiful, with lovely gardens and views. However, what really makes it special is that it was the first Jewish neighborhood built outside the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem. It's hard to realize that the Old City was actually walled and that this area was seen as "outside" the city - a concept that... More

This neighbourhood is a great place for an easy stroll in the evening, with the dim street lights providing a romantic atmosphere and the old city ramparts visible just beyond the valley. You can end this stroll in the nearby city center or Emeq Refaim street for a good dinner. And don't miss the windmill at the edge of the... More

A nice neighborhood, just to walk around at day time or at the evening. when you can also see the lights of the old city in front of you, together with the walls of the city.

Mishkenot Sha'ananim was the first neighberhood built outside the old city of Jerusalem and was renovated about 40 years ago. Today, many artists live in the neighberhood, and is is full of galleries. The neighberhood is built on the side of the mountain, and has a breathtaking panoramic view of the old city. Mishkenot Sha'ananim is well maintained and beautifull,... More

I stayed at the Mishkenot for a week in February 2007. This is not actually a public hotel, invited guests only so it's pretty exclusive. It's more of a guest house really. The staff are pleasant, the rooms are spacious, clean and with sat. television, nice out door view and doors open so you can sit outside facing the Old... More
