Very beautiful place to visit in Haifa. If you are in Haifa, it is essential that you visit this garden. You will not be able to miss it since it is so grand and pretty. Highly recommend you book the tours given by the staff. They will give a history about the Baha’i religion, the beliefs of Baha’i, the structure of the gardens etc. The guide was really informative and engaging. If you are lucky to be in Haifa at night, be sure to head to the German Colony to take night views of the gardens

Serenity. Peace. Presence. Otherworldly. It isn’t everyday that you can find a piece of heaven on Earth. There are places on our planet that may enable you to reach a higher conscience and touch the heavens, whether spelunking, redwoods, walkabout, pew in a “holy place”, it is possible. These gardens do it for me and many other fortunate friends.

Some of the most beautiful gardens in the world. The Bahai faith is extremely welcoming and kind as you walk through the gardens at their holy site. Highly recommend going.

Beautiful view of Haifa is from here. From the top you can see the panoramic views.one of the most amazing view point in the north. Garden is beautiful and well arranged.. From top to bottom, and the grounds in between... Extremely marvelous view... amazing.. It's such a peaceful place be in.,☘️☘️☘️☘️

There are three or four different entrances, all of them give access just to a small portion of the garden. If you want to have access to the whole garden you have to book a guided tour. The temple is accessible only for the followers of the religion.

Beautiful Scenery and views. A sacred place for the Bagai Religion, you can only book the 45min tour online the day before. The temple has been closed to the public since Covid.

Immaculately designed and maintained hillside garden. This is a one of a kind view that you will never forget. The main entrance is at the top level where parking spots are scarce, and tourists are abundant. Enter with caution through the security gate, and make sure you spit any gum out before you enter. Have your camera ready to take snapshots of various views and angles. All of them pleasing to the eyes, and will instantly catapult to your top 10 collection of photos. The garden itself is already beautiful. But that's not enough. Throw in the astounding Mediterranean Sea in the distant background, plus the entire city of Haifa, plus its enormous Haifa Port. Now you've run over all the competition for good. Cloudy days are the best for visiting this garden. You won't regret it.

One of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever seen in my life. Starting from the top, the sea view through the garden is amazing. The grounds are immaculately kept and everything is so pristine. Learning about the Baha’i religion and it’s inclusiveness was also really interesting.

An ordeal to get there unless by taxi or you're very, very fit to walk there as it's all uphill. Taxis are extremely expensive unless you can get a group together to share the cost. The view from the top, however, is fantastic, providing panoramic views of the Haifa Bay area.

The best thing to do in Haifa! The gardens are immaculate and run completely by volunteers. My husband and I went on a guided tour which was free. I definitely recommend going on the tour as this is the only way to view the upper terraces. An absolutely beautiful, peaceful place.

Definitely worth a visit. Located on a mountain slope in Haifa, the garden can be entered free of charge. Reservations for guided tours are required. Tours start on the upper level and lead you down the 700+ steps to the lower level. But you can also walk it in the other direction. There is a shuttle to being visitors from the exit/entry at the lower level to the parking and exit/entry at the upper level and vice-versa. Even in winter time the gardens are impeccably maintained and seasonal plants are presented.

Today I got a chance to do duty here I am so blessed 😇 One of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever seen in my life. Starting from the top, the sea view through the garden is amazing. There are places on our planet that may enable you to reach a higher conscience and touch the heavens, whether spelunking, redwoods, walkabout, pew in a “holy place”, it is possible. A beautiful and inspiring sanctuary on the hills of mount Carmel. Offers sweeping views of the Haifa harbour and bay. They're absolutely incredible -- meticulously upkept, overflowing with color, and overlooking the mediterranean.

What a beautiful place to visit and experience. Have been to two Baha’i gardens including Los Angeles, CA., but this one, In Haifa, is breathtaking!! Wear comfortable shoes she nice there are lots of stairs and exploring.

A beautiful and inspiring sanctuary on the hills of mount Carmel. Offers sweeping views of the Haifa harbour and bay. The gardens themselves are immaculate and we'll maintained. I enjoyed my visit. The gardens were closed to the public when I visited. We were able get a view from the top viewing deck and then joined a small guided walking tour from half way down (access through another gate). Our guide was informative and accessible.

If you have the chance to visit the beautiful city of Haifa, you don't want to miss this wonderful park! From the entrance at the top, you have wonderful view over the city and the Mediterranean Sea. We've been lucky enough to entrer the terrasses, though it seems like it's not always possible. Nonetheless, simply the views from up there are worth the visit.

We had a terrible experience with the staff here. First off, we ran to make tour guide appointment. When we arrived, they said I couldn’t go in because my shoulders were not covered (this information was not on the website). I understood that - saw others with shawls covering up their shoulder. I went back to my car and found a fabric-like sheet to cover up my shoulders. When I got there, they wouldn’t let me in because the material wasn’t cloth! Completely ridiculous - you’d think I was trying to get into the Vatican. The bureaucracy, level of pretentiousness, and attitude of the staff was something I never saw in Israel. Totally opposite of what Bahaism stands for. Never coming back. Managers should speak to their staff here.

Good garden view from top. Only 2 gates on top are open. remaining are open only for registered big groups which is not good thing. Should be accessible to all public.

Had the absolute worst experience in this very beautiful, peaceful place. A security guard there was the rudest gentlemen we have ever encountered in any tourist destination we have travelled to and we have been at least 30 countries and about 80 different towns and cities around the world. He had no respect for us (my husband and I) or to the rest of our group. Please avoid going to this place and spoiling your mood if you spot this "brash and disgusting" security guard sitting there. Bahai authorities - please teach this man some manners to speak to people.

The view from top is just wow. Beautiful place and very clean

Very interesting place to visit. Beautiful gardens and excellent landscaping! Giving it only 4 stars due to the tour that we got. The tour was in English and the tour guid did not give enough of information about the gardens or it’s religion. The religion it self sounded good according to guid, ended up googling it when came back to hotel and it ended up been same BS as all the religions just colored differently. My advice is to Look up information before you go there if you want to know more then just dry cherry picked facts. If you are interested only in gardens, this is an excellent place to look at , just don’t expect to be walking alive the place, the tour will take you from the top all the way down in 1 hour. Overall a good spot to spent an hour and change and see some cool plants and excellent landscaping.

The place is incredible but unlike the description in the site , you cant get anywhere without an organized tour or a guide.. Something worth mentioning..

Realy a beautiful place to visit, the gardens are well kept and spotless, Shame I did not have time to do a tour as it was a quick visit.

Wonderful place for you eyes. Beautiful and historical park with good vibes. A place for your soul to relax

Beautiful gardens with an astonishing view of the area. Gardens are very well maintained, free of litter. A great place to take photos with your loved ones.

There is this upper part, middle PaRt and bottom point. All separate entrances. So my plan of starting from the top and walking down did not work out 😂😂 In drakes words you got to start from the bottom to get to the middle and top. View is amazing 🤩 Architectural excellence and heavenly garden that is the heart ❤️ of Haifa. Amazing at night as well.

The Gardens are beautiful. First the top level is free to all great views of the Haifa bay and the Baha’i gardens and shrine from the top. However if you really want to experience the gardens then get tickets in advance. If you are in Haifa it should be a must. The tour is about 60 minutes. It is 750 steps down. You will have a guided tour in English if you want and can stop at about 4 levels. You cannot walk back up the steps. You can take a bus 136 -7 stops (I think you need a Rav Kav. Like a metro card to board the bus) to return you back to the top, or walk through the German Colony Blvd and get a taxi. It a bit of a walk but there are cafes along the way back to the Carmel mountain

It is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful places I have ever seen. The gardens are an absolute must-visit for anyone traveling to Haifa. The gardens are built on a series of terraces, each offering a different view of the stunning landscape. One of the highlights of my visit was the view of the city and the Mediterranean Sea from the upper terraces. The views were breathtaking, and it was a truly peaceful and serene experience.

Nice view from here of the gardens. This is about the only place you can see the gardens when the gates are closed like they are currently for coronavirus restrictions. This also provides a good view of Haifa surrounding the gardens and shine of the Bab.

First of all the entrance is free, which is a great plus for a place like this. Very nice view and beautiful gardens. Unfortunately isn't possible to visit the gardens on your own, but you have to wait for the guided tour (available in Jewish, Arab, English and Russian). A big no from my point of view is that you must stick to the high pace of the guides, so you have a very little time to enjoy the place and take some pictures, furthermore, the guide does not wait the group for the explanations, so if you waste one minute to take a photo, you'll miss the explanations about the place, the religion, etc.

It's difficult to get and find the right enter. But everything else i perfect!

The Bahai Garden in Haifa is a true architectural marvel. Its design is a perfect blend of beauty and precision, leaving visitors in awe. The meticulously manicured terraces, adorned with vibrant flowers and lush greenery, create a breathtaking visual spectacle. The symmetrical layout and cascading steps add a sense of grandeur to the garden, while the intricate details and ornate patterns showcase the skillful craftsmanship that went into its creation. Each element of the architecture is thoughtfully planned, harmoniously blending with the natural surroundings. The garden's design not only offers a serene and tranquil atmosphere but also serves as a testament to human creativity and ingenuity. It is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking architectural inspiration and a truly unforgettable experience.

This is an amazingly beautiful place! I am so glad that I was able to visit there! Very nice people who look after the gardens and very nice and professional guides. I advise everyone to find time to visit the Bahai Gardens ...

The gardens and the view of the Haifa Bahá’í Gardens are amazing. Haifa is a beautiful town north of Israel, the view from the top of the garden is spectacular. Do not miss this place if you are in the area

You enter free from the bottom until the balcony and from the top until the shrine. You cant roam freely or decend the gardens stairs. Very beautiful and well preserved maybe the main attraction of the city.

Best ocean view in the northern side of israel, can see clear views

Cool place! Very beautiful reviews. It's kind of stupid they don't let you walk through the whole thing. I don't really understand why, they said it is because they do not want people to trash it. I do not really think that would be the case, they should consider opening more of it up to the Public.

Loved this place. Great view. Everything super clean.

I traveled through Israel for five weeks. These gardens were, without a doubt, one of the most magnificent places I visited. They're absolutely incredible -- meticulously upkept, overflowing with color, and overlooking the mediterranean. Seriously, a trip to Haifa (hell, a trip to Israel!) would be incomplete without stopping here.

I tried not only once, i tried 3 times, 3 different years to visit. Sure, i had no luck - all 3 times the Gardens had been closed for the visitors due to the weather conditions. So my photos are taken from outside...
