A New Exhibition at the Tower of David

The Tower of David is a unique museum worth visiting, due to the design and architecture of the location. The roof of the tower offers one of the best 360-degree shots of Jerusalem. Here is a recommendation for the current exhibition featured at the Tower of David.
“Soundscapes”- an original and innovative exhibition in the courtyard of the Tower of David opens on July 22. A musical and magical experience of sound, the first of its kind in the world where a musical production integrates an archeological site, music, design and technology. Numerous musical instruments, designed and produced specifically for the citadel, are automatically played by computer command. The resulting composition is a combination of the composers’ personal inspirations and the logic system of the computer activity. Opening hours for the exhibit:
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 7 p.m. – 11 p.m.
Saturday evenings - 11 p.m.

New Bar Overlooking the Jerusalem Walls

Bar Kochva

14 Chutzot Hayotzer St. Tel. 972-2-623-3206/3238
Opening Hours 7pm-12pm

Overlooking the Old City walls of Jerusalem, is Bar Kochba, a new bar that opened this summer, located in the Sultan’s Pool opposite the Jaffa Gate. With views of the Tower of David and the Dormitzion Church, the outdoor balcony setting makes this bar ideal for a late night visit to unwind and have a drink (they also serve some light meals; pasta and fish). The down side is the parking so we suggest you take a taxi.
