Car
If you are driving, begin your journey from the center of Jerusalem. Head southwest on Jaffa Street (Derech Yaffo) toward King George Street (Rehov King George). Continue on Jaffa Street until you reach the intersection with Hillel Street. Turn right onto Hillel Street and proceed straight for about 1.5 km. As you approach the intersection with Sderot Ben Gurion, you will see signage for 'Homage to Jerusalem'. Follow the signs, and you will find parking available nearby at designated areas, which may incur a parking fee of around 5-10 NIS per hour.
Public Transportation
For those opting for public transportation, take the light rail train from the central station at City Hall (Shuk HaMizrach). Board the light rail heading towards the 'Mount Herzl' direction. Get off at the 'Yad Vashem' station. From there, it’s a 15-minute walk to 'Homage to Jerusalem'. Head southeast on Sderot Herzl, then continue onto Sderot Ben Gurion until you reach the destination. Ensure you have a Rav Kav card to pay for your fare, which will cost around 6.50 NIS.
