Hotels near Yad Vashem
Ha-Va'ad ha-Le'umi Street, Jerusalem, Israel
Yad Vashem is Israel's official memorial to the 6 million Jews murdered in the Holocaust - among the world's largest and most respected Holocaust memorials. The 45-hectare campus on Mount Herzl includes the Holocaust History Museum (a 200-metre prism-shaped concrete building by Moshe Safdie), the Children's Memorial (a single candle reflected by mirrors to appear as 1.5 million stars), the Hall of Names (containing testimony pages for every known victim), and the Avenue of the Righteous Among the Nations honouring non-Jewish rescuers.
Free admission but online registration required (yadvashem.org). Open Sunday-Thursday 09:00-17:00, Friday 09:00-14:00; closed Saturdays. Allow 4 hours minimum for the full campus. Audio guide 30 NIS recommended. The visit is emotionally exhausting - schedule something light afterwards. No photography permitted inside the museum. The campus is in the western new city, easily reached by Light Rail.
Pro Tip: Use the audio guide (30 NIS) - the museum exhibits are dense and benefit enormously from the narrative context. The Children's Memorial at the eastern edge is the most affecting single space; visitors typically pause for 5-10 minutes.
