RECOMMENDATIONS and REMINDERS
The Bahá’í Gardens are religious sites that are open to the general public without charge. As in most other such sites, visitors are asked to wear modest clothing that covers your shoulders and reaches your knees with no tears, to help keep the place clean and beautiful, and to behave in a manner that is considerate of the sensitivities of others.
Entrance: The tour entrance is located on the western edge of the Bahá’í Gardens on Hatzionut - uphill from the bridge.
Charge: Entrance is free of charge.
Parking: Street parking located nearby.
Dress: Please wear clothing that covers your shoulders and reaches your knees, with no tears. Because of the pebbled paths and occasionally slippery pavements, we recommend wearing comfortable shoes with good traction. During the summer months, consider bringing a hat and sun screen.
