On a tour we walked part of the wall and learned a lot. So much happened in this area that Americans know so little about. Great spot for photo ops and to learn about how the wall has played a part in this area's history over centuries. Take a city tour - it's worth it. More

This 1 hour tour was informative and interesting and just long enough to not become boring. The guide - sorry can't remember his name- has a wonderful sense of humour :) More

Ancient walls with a long and checkered history. Walk these historical walls (about a mile ) and take in the views. Join a guided tour for a detailed history - well recommended ! More
