Very interesting. We were on a guided tour from a cruise ship, which was unfortunate as the guide only alloted about 45 minutes here. I could easily have spent two hours here. There are many ages… Full review by geo3

Amazing medieval site! If you love history, you're gonna like it for sure. The Hospitallers' fortress and Knights hall, the old underground medieval passages, the Al-Jazzar mosque etc. Full review by 794c_dricm

How long should we allow for a visit? Is knights hall inside crusader fortress? Is there 1 ticket for fortress,halls, and tunnel? thanks, mike b
A:
You get a headset with a self paced tour. If you just walk through it and don't listen to the headset, you can walk through in 30 min. The tour took me about 2 hrs to go through.
We will be traveling with a 9 month old. Is this place stroller friendly or would it be better to take her in a carrier?

Strongly suggest a carrier if you plan on touring the Templar tunnels and walking the fortress walls. There are numerous steps and uneven walkways, some from cobblestone so …

Hi what are the options to do a day trip from Jerusalem? Please anyone.

By public transportation: You can get to Acre either by bus or by train. If you choose the bus option, you take a bus to Haifa (960 egged, about 2 hour ride) and then a bus to Acre (bus 271 by nativ express company ~30 min). If you choose the train option, you can take the train from Jerusalem (Scenic but very slow), switch trains in Tel Aviv and take a train to Acre. (This will take you about 3.5 hours total). Quicker way is to take a bus to Tel Aviv (480 egged, 1 hour) and take train from there to Acre (Takes about 1.5 hours). All in all, possible as a day trip with early start, but you will spent at least 5 hours of the day in transit. (I assume little to moderate traffic with the bus times estimates.) If you happen to rent a car, the one way will take about 2-2.5 hours. There might be tours to Acre, but I am no expert on them, and can not give an educated suggestion.

The website for the castle has the prices. I can't post the website name here (TripAdvisor rules) but search for Akko crusader museum and follow the links. The Okashi museum is essentially an art gallery - well worth it and the The 'Treasures in the Walls' Ethnographic Museum is a short walk away from the centre of the city; quirky but quite fun.
