the park located at the Palestinian A area. the place is pretty small, but very unique. most of the Hordus palce is under the groun for protecting the place. ther is a theatre outside. some tables at the entrance without cover, so it's not convenient to eat there.

Would deserve more than 5 stars. A true architectural wonder. Could easily spend days here exploring the tunnel system, the beautifully saved palace remains, and last but not least the sweeping view. Let me note that Herod's Tomb was discovered in 2007, pretty recently. Also, please remember: the tour could be strenuous. Carry water and do not underestimate challenges.

An incredible ride with a small steep incline of a hike. They are continuing to do lots of work at this site and it’s always developing. Lots of beautiful things to see and much to explore! Very worth there entrance fee.

I’ve visited a couple dozen of the national parks while in country. This one was one of my favorite. The videos in conjunction with the ruins really gave perspective on Herods rule and conquests.

A powerful scene of the place. I was not aware of this place before I came to visit Israel and was surprised by its grand design and construction. Will learn something more about Harold and the history in his time.

Powerful place! The place is restored and very historical, showing the history of Herod. Place has strong gates with cameras, if you are arriving on your own, just wait a couple of minutes and they will open it, it's a safe and good place to visit.

A very interesting place! The ancient palace of King Herod. Recently discovered archaeological finds, including an ancient amphitheater. The object is located in a national park behind the so-called "green line" dividing Israel and Palestine.

Amazing palace and fortress from Herod's time. Herod built many palaces in Bethlehem, Jericho and Jerusalem, but this palace was named after him. He also was buried inside it. From the top of the mountain, you can have a breath-taking view

I've visited Herodion during my stay in Bethlehem. It's located in a national park behind the green line dividing Israel and Palestine. Once your at the top, there are some old aqueduct tunnels you can walk in that lead you back down. Such a very cool ancient site!

A must visit. Situated on the outskirts of jerusalem, a majestic site, a real piece of 2000 year old history , dated before the birth of chrishristianety , a place built by king of judia herod , highly recommended

This is a wonderful place , it can see the whole view of Jerusalem, and also all the Heritage view are protected very well. Its worth to go.

(Translated by Google) An amazing historical site in its construction that will be restored and its location is attractive in its discoveries. (Original) אתר היסטורי מדהים בבניתו שיחזורו ומיקומו אטרקטיבי בתגליותיו.

They are always uncovering more and constantly making the experience better.

Close to Jerusalem, well organized, love the new visit timing to avoid overcrowding (take the first or second slot), parking was 100 meters from the entry. Kudos to the guide who made sure that I could walk uphill (using walking canes after a knee operation).

An amazing archaeological site with a very important place in the history of the region

Historical place, Herod the great who arder to kill all the babies under two years old trying to kill the new born baby Jesus, he also build a castle for himself in this location at Judea wilderness area near Bethlehem and he ordered his slaves to hide it by moving the mountain which was beside the castle and cover it with this moved mountain to hide it from the enemies. One more information that from the top of it you can see 3 main buildings, the temple in Jerusalem that he build to please the Jews, Masada near the dead sea and the patriarchs tomp in Hebron (Mechpelah Cave) where he build a holy place for Jews to pray and worship God.

Interesting ruins and worth a visit. No easy walking tour. Lots, really lots, of steps.

A great building project of Herod the Great! Just 4 stars bcs on the bottom, where the synagogue and fountain is- a lot of garbage and bedouins destroying the situ with their sheep

(Translated by Google) Neat, clean and restored. You can spend about two hours there having fun. Beautiful view combined with antiquities and history. It should be taken into account that there are a lot of stairs and may not be suitable for people with walking problems or disabilities. There is no need to worry about the location or access to the place. Feeling safe. (Original) מסודר, נקי ומשוחזר. ניתן להעביר שם כשעתיים בכיף. נוף יפה משולב בעתיקות והסטוריה. צריך לקחת בחשבון שיש הרבה מדרגות ואולי לא יתאים לאנשים עם בעיות הליכה או מוגבלויות. אין צורך לחשוש מהמיקום או מהגישה למקום. ההרגשה בטוחה.

A beautiful great place to visit! DO NOT MISS IT!

Very interesting history here! It's worth a visit..

(Translated by Google) History with a capital letter 😍 (Original) История с Большой буквы 😍

(Translated by Google) Incredible place, for the history it has, and the views, of course. (Original) Increíble lugar, por la historia que tiene, y las vistas, como no.

Herod the Great's huge palace to show off his wealth to his Roman governors. Extensive and just as worthy as a visit to Masada.

Very interesting historically. The newer parts (tomb and underground tunnels) are very neat. No shade on top of the mountain and a lot of stairs- so bring a hat and water bottle, not stroller friendly. Can use more tourist friendly signs. Other than that- recommended.

WOW1

World class attraction. The government agencies have been working hard to restore the citadel on the hill. And it's becoming more fascinating from visit to visit.

There are two movies here, and the one in the old theater is wonderful. There are a lot of steps to get up to the top and back down, but it's worth it to see all they've excavated of the fortress and mausoleum.

Takes between half an hour to an hour and a half to complete a self-tour. Two nice videos are displayed along the way (second one is really nice). Plenty of stairs to climb. Beautiful surroundings. A great visit during the winter. Definitely worth a visit.

An old palace, built by Herod the Great over 2.000 years ago when he ruled the Holy Land during the Roman times. It is well renovated and gives a beautiful overview of the area between Southern Jerusalem and Bethlehem. Worth a visit.

Amazing site..they are always finding new stuff

Unique place with complicated history.

Interesting, accessible, audio video explanatiin films

Incredible new findings. Beautifully preserved

(Translated by Google) A fun and wide archeological site. Take a guide through it on the spot. Book in advance. Recommended. (Original) אתר ארכיאולוגי מהנה ורחב.לקחת הדרכה דרכה במקום.הזמינו מראש.מומלץ.

We had very interesting tour there. The local stuff is very friendly. The site itself is very impressive. There are three movies that really worth to watch there to understand the context of that place.

An exciting Historical and archeological site, although I am local, somehow I haven't visited the place until now. Highly recommended

History at its finest, they’ve just updated the videos before you walk through the palace.

Beautiful place for people who appreciate history and archaeology

Among the top wonders of the ancient world. A marvel of engineering and construction by king Herod with additions by later Jewish rebels against the Romans. Not to be missed.

We had a wonderful few hours at Herodion - about a 20 minute drive from Jerusalem. My kids can actually see the Herodion from their school so it was fascinating to be there up close. Tickets must currently be booked in advance through the parks authority website (parks.org.il). We began with a short walk to a very impressive new audio visual show which was worth the wait (we should have got there earlier!) and takes place in a relatively newly excavated section of the site. We then joined a Hebrew language tour with an extremely knowledgeable and amusing guide - it was a little long for the kids but I found it extremely interesting to learn how Herod went about this incredible building project (he has a bunch of others too). Interesting, outdoors so COVID but not weather friendly - make sure to bring a hat and water in the summer and a sweatshirt or jacket in the winter.

One of d seven fortresses built by Herod the Great. An archeological wonder, full of history.

Super interesting, when you get the guide to give you the historical background. It adds so much color and excitement for the whole family!

The place of Herod the Great's burial and one of his most impressive palaces, this site is well worth a visit. From the top you can see Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. The tunnels down to the cisterns are very extensive and neat. It is a bit of a hike, so be prepared. Maybe save it for a time when it's not super hot.

The great place to visit

Went just before sunrise. The view was spectacular. Wonderful place to see archaeological remains. Very meaningful.

Went with kids, awesome place, guides are very kind and willing to help and tell about the place, but very summarized so we enjoy it. Stunning view and very interesting history.

After reconstruction. Wonderful!

This was a neat stop. Cool views from the top, but the coolest part was the tunnels and the underground cistern - don't skip it!

Herodion was an amazing site to visit. The views from the top were amazing. The walk up is pretty easy, just a gradual 10-20 minute climb. Once your at the top, there are some old aqueduct tunnels you can walk in that lead you back down. Very very cool, but watch your head! The summit can be extremely windy. Bring a jacket.

A very attractive and a renovated place!

Impressive place.

(Translated by Google) Recommend (Original) ממליצה

Excellent restoration of1st Century castle/fortress/mauseleum ... will be fabulous once entire site in excavated

(Translated by Google) We visited Herodium after many years. We were a bit worried about driving in areas c but there was no problem. The base of the site itself has a small military base and feel completely safe. The place itself is truly stunning, with a sonic light spectacle surrounding the theater and Herod's tomb. The archeological buildings are preserved to a high standard, and the tunnels of the Jewish rebels are accessible and illuminated in the belly of the mountain. There is an entrance desk with a small kiosk for snacks and soft drinks. Most worthy !! (Original) ביקרנו בהרודיון אחרי הרבה שנים. קצת דאגנו בנסיעה בשטחי c אבל לא היתה שום בעיה. בבסיס האתר עצמו יש בסיס צבאי קטן ומרגישים בטוחים לחלוטין. המקום עצמו ממש מהמם, עם חזיון אור קולי שמסביב על התאטרון וקבר הורדוס. המבנים הארכאולוגיים בשימור ברמה גבוהה, והמנהרות של המורדים היהודיים נגישות ומוארות בבטן ההר. יש עמדת כניסה עם קיוסק קטן לחטיפים ומשקאות קלים. ראוי ביותר!!
