Exploring Jerusalem’s Old City streets with Street View
April 22, 2012
Cross posted on the
Official Google Blog
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. To see more, go to the
Street View gallery
