Buses to Jerusalem are frequent and can be boarded from central bus stations in towns like Bethlehem or Hebron. Once in Jerusalem, head to the central bus station (Tachana Merkazit) and catch a light rail train towards 'Mount Herzl' and disembark at 'City Hall' station. From there, it’s about a 15-minute walk to New Gate. Follow the signs towards the Old City, crossing through the streets until you arrive at the gate.
