The Bahá’í Gardens in Haifa are a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for their stunning terraced gardens cascading down Mount Carmel. The meticulously landscaped gardens surround the Shrine of the Báb, a key figure in the Bahá’í Faith, making it a pilgrimage site and a place of serenity. The gardens offer varying levels of accessibility, with some areas easily accessible for wheelchairs while others involve stairs and steeper paths; it's advisable to check specific route accessibility beforehand. While solo visits are possible to explore the outer gardens, free guided tours are available in English and Hebrew, providing deeper insights into the history, design, and significance of the gardens; reservations are often required. The gardens are open year-round, but specific sections may have restricted access on certain days or during religious holidays. Entry to the gardens is free, but donations are welcome; a typical visit lasts between 2 to 3 hours, depending on the extent of exploration and whether you opt for a guided tour. Remember to dress modestly out of respect for the religious site and be prepared for security checks.
