We went there with a group of Diplomacy students. It was AWESOME. The museum is filled with many fascinating artefacts and enchanting stories, the location and the setting were great. Our tour guide was very professional and the people who work there were amazingly polite friendly and helpful. Highly recommended

The Tower of David was the highlight of our Independence Day trip! The experience exceeded all expectations. The live music, especially the amazing string quartet, created a wonderful atmosphere. The new exhibitions are truly impressive—don’t miss the hall featuring the screening of "All Religious Holidays in Israel" on the ceiling. We also loved the 1900s Jerusalem model and the insightful guide explanations. To top it off, the view from the observation point is unbeatable. Our entire family thoroughly enjoyed the visit!

Fascinating historical monument, partially restorated, that depicts different eras. Outstanding views from the top that blends history and modern reality. The place also has a museum, activities for kids and a café. Many organized/group tours are visiting.

Great museum that tells all about the history of jerusalem with historic walls that provide a great view of the city and temple mount. The museum is split up across lots of the rooms of the old fort. Some rooms are very interesting others not so much so. Definetly recommend going at. I went in off season and didn't need to book in advance. Staff at front desk is very nice

Love the new displays, great place to learn about the history of Jerusalem. Don't need a guided tour, plenty of detailed signs and interactive displays. Lots to see and many unique exhibits. AMAZING lookout.
