When is the best time to visit the Western Wall?
Posted on Aug 04, 2025 / Travel
The Western Wall is open 24 hours a day, every day of the year, but the atmosphere changes depending on the time and occasion. Fridays at sundown (start of Shabbat) and Jewish holidays offer especially powerful experiences, with large gatherings, singing, and dancing. Early morning visits offer a more quiet and meditative setting, especially for individual prayer or reflection.
