À propos
Faits rapides: Over 4.5 million names of Holocaust victims are stored in the Hall of Names, a circular space where their portraits and personal artifacts line the walls. The campus sits on Mount Herzl's western slope and includes the original 1957 Historical Museum, replaced in 2005 by a striking 4,200-square-meter prismatic structure.
Points forts: The Hall of Names contains an underground repository with an estimated 2.5 million Pages of Testimony, handwritten forms submitted by survivors and families, leaving empty spaces for the unrecorded victims. A single candle flame reflects infinitely in a mirrored cone above, creating the illusion of stars in a dark sky as visitors stand in the center of the room.
Conseils d'initiés
- Allow at least 20 minutes at the end for the Children's Memorial, where a single flame reflects through a dark room as names are read aloud at a low volume.
- Skip the introductory film in the first theater if time is tight: the museum's chronological flow tells the story clearly without it.
- Wear comfortable shoes for the sloping walkway through the museum: the route descends and ascends gradually over 180 meters.
- Photography is prohibited inside the museum galleries but allowed outdoors on the Viewpoint Terrace overlooking the Jerusalem hills.

Avez-vous entendu parler des visites à pied gratuites ?
Après avoir voyagé dans plus de 30 pays, il y a une chose que j'aurais aimé qu'on me dise dès le premier jour, et cela a complètement changé ma façon de découvrir les nouvelles villes.
Les visites à pied gratuites. Oui, vraiment gratuites. Pas besoin de carte de crédit. Pas de piège.
Guide local, 2-3 heures
Sites majeurs, trésors cachés, histoires locales
100% basé sur les pourboires
Les guides ne gagnent que des pourboires, ils donnent donc le meilleur d'eux-mêmes
Vous donnez le pourboire que vous jugez juste
À la fin, donnez simplement le pourboire que vous jugez juste
J'ai fait ces visites dans des dizaines de villes et elles ont été le point fort de presque tous mes voyages. Si vous visitez Jerusalem, Israel, faites-le le premier jour. Vous me remercierez plus tard.
