The Hurva Synagogue, a significant landmark in Jerusalem's Old City, offers visitors a deep dive into centuries of Jewish history and breathtaking panoramic views from its observation deck. While generally accessible, navigating the Old City's narrow, cobbled streets can be challenging for individuals with mobility impairments, so specific access within the synagogue should be verified. Both solo visits for personal reflection and guided tours for historical and religious context are highly recommended to fully appreciate its complex story of destruction and rebuilding. The synagogue operates year-round, but visitors should confirm opening hours, particularly during Jewish holidays and Shabbat when it is closed. An approximate entrance fee of 20-30 NIS is typically required, and a visit usually spans 30 minutes to an hour. Modest dress is essential, covering shoulders and knees, and men may need to wear a head covering.
