Must see - tombs of leaders such as Hertzl, Golda Meier, martyrs such as Hannah Sennesh - people who helped create Israel. Deeply moving. Located directly above Yad Vashem. Very powerful symbolism and very moving place

This cemetery is beautiful, and includes memorials to Theodore Herzl, as well as dignitaries like Simon Peres, Golda Meir, and Yitzhak Rabin. It is a quiet, beautiful, and reflective place. The cemetery is a short walk on the "connecting path" from Yad Vashem and would be a great addition to any visit to this must-be-visited holocaust memorial.

In this Park/National Cemetery is located Hetzl monument and ALL israeli soldiers that have given their lifes in all wars.
I think it's important to see it and understand the sacrifice of the Jewish people for their own country.

Omn my very first day in Jerusalem I took the local light rail from Allenby to Mount Herzel..you get of there and then its just a 5 to 10 minute walk to Yad Vashem Holocoust Museum..when you come out of the museum this walk is a good time to reflect on The Holocoust...A Wonderful memorial to The Jews who lost there lifes....I went back here again before I left to buy some special souveniers from the great shop in the Museum...Yad Vashem touched me deeply and brought tears to my eyes...God Bless Israel

The relatively new Herzl Museum at the not-new Mt. Herzl cemetery is not to be missed. It's a great introduction to Zionism and the State of Israel's history for those unfamiliar. Even those who have a lifetime of reading behind them on the topic will enjoy the presentation, as it is artistic and high tech and very well done. WARNING: You need an advance reservation. Be sure to specify if you need a tour in English. The new light-rail from the center of Jerusalem takes you right to this site, so it should really not be missed by tourists traveling on their own in Israel.

After viewing the grave site of Theodore Hertl, we walked through the cemetery, and viewed the graves of prime ministers and dignitaries. Seeing the age of the soldiers that died, many so very young, was heartbreaking. Freedom is not free and this site proves that fact.

I will be staying in Tel Aviv but would like to take a day touring the various sites at Mt Herzl. What is available including transportation to wherever I meet the tour.

First of all, Har Hertzel where all our soldiers are buried is magnificent....I hope that is what you are referring to. Taxi is fine. You can even arrange to have it wait for you if you like. I don't know how long your tour is, but you can also easily get a taxi anyplace in Jerusalem. Have a wonderful time. It is very meaningful.

I am very interested in visiting the IDF section of Mt. Herzl. Are there signs and maps available in English. I would like to visit the grave sites of Yitzak Rabin, Golda Meir and Yonatan Netanyahu. Can you tell the approximate walking distance from Mt Herzl. . Also, can you give me the approximate walking distance from the IDF cemetery to the Yad Vashem Memorial.
Thank You
Sincerely,
Mark Provenzano

Yes to finding IDF Graves and other very significant hero's. I visited all mentioned and the on site office staff provide information. There are tours available too. I do not know the distance between Yadav Vashem & Cemetery but remember hills and heat.
Written October 19, 2016
Please advise: I know we need a reservation to visit Mt. Herzl, but I am unable to find out how to make a reservation. I have searched the website and cannot locate reservations.
Thank you
