Exploring Jerusalem�s Old City streets with Street View

Every year, 3.5 million people come to Israel to visit ancient sites that are holy to billions of people, to walk among the unique stone of Jerusalem, or to relax on the beaches of the Mediterranean.

Inside Jerusalem's Old City

To help you explore Israel�s history and present, we�ve launched imagery of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv-Jaffa and Haifa on Street View. You can explore the narrow streets of Jerusalem�s Old City and each of its four quarters, walk along the Via Dolorosa and see the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, visit the Western Wall and the Mount of Olives. You can stop by the Biblical Zoo, then visit the Israel Museum and the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum�and explore more with the Art Project and the Yad Vashem photo archive. Or you can stroll through Tel Aviv�s bohemian Neve Tzedek neighborhood and the ancient port of Jaffa, and take a virtual trip to some of Tel Aviv�s scenic beaches or to Haifa�s Baha�i Gardens.



We hope you�ll use Street View to discover, explore and more. Some are already using the new imagery to help others�for example, Access Israel, an organization working to make Israel more accessible for people with disabilities, has embedded Street View in its accessibility mapping project of Israeli cities (note: in Hebrew).

We�ll be adding more Street View coverage of sites and streets in the coming months, and are hoping to bring Street View to more places around the region soon.
