This sector of the Old City is vibrant yet very clean. Along with the other sectors, this should be visited. More

The people here are pleasant and welcoming. There are many shops and the streets always seem to be so busy. Make sure you bargain a bit when you shop. More

If you could only visit one part of the old city consider this quarter. The story of each church with its different interior and exterior is a site to behold. Don't forget to purchase a real relic in one of the certified shops! More

Great shops and place to purchase gifts. Friendly merchants who love to bargain. Great place to walk and have refreshments. Try to fresh squeezed orange juice. More

Has a very different vibe than that of the Jewish Quarter. The streets are tighter and more crowded. The stores sell their wares out on the streets - not in shops. A great experience right after visiting the Jewish Quarter. We did not spend nearly as much time here as we did in the Jewish Quarter, though. More

To be in the Christian Quarter was so spiritual. The Church - Cathredral is massive and the tomb of Jesus is beautiful. To be given the gift of kneeling and praying over the tomb, touch it - another life changing experience. Kathryn L Cartwright More

I loved the merchandise but the shops weren't kept as clean and I didn't feel as safe in this quarter. More
