Jerusalem Warning or Danger Tips by jadedmuse

The only drawback if you're staying in the Old Walled City and you've driven there in your rental car, is finding a place to park. Parking is at an all time prime here, and space is really limited. The streets are narrow and parking is difficult if next to impossible; I found that the best place to park is if you enter either through Jaffa Gate or Zion Gate and take a right down the Armenian Patriarchate Road, following it as it curves along the perimeter wall toward the Jewish Quarter (not too far a drive inside). Close to the Western Wall you'll find a fairly large parking lot. It gets pretty full there but it's by far your best and safest bet for parking, especially if it's going to be overnight. We even left a suitcase in the trunk of our car for several days and it was fine. We also found the cost to be reasonable, considering the location: around $10 a day. We made a deal to pay for 3 nights in advance, and it worked out beautifully for us.
