Luggage storage Jerusalem

Store your luggage around Jerusalem with Bounce 

Between the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean Sea in the Judaean Mountains, Jerusalem is one of the oldest cities in the world. The Old City is divided into four quarters, which include Muslim, Jewish, Christian, and Armenian. Because of this, you’ll see a wide variety of dress in Jerusalem from secular garb to Orthodox and monastic vestments to modern attire. Each section of the city has a different vibe, including the architecture of the buildings, the scents of the different foods, and the chanting of prayer and church bells.  

One of the most visited towns in Jerusalem is Bethlehem on the West Bank in the Judaean Hills. According to the Bible, the town was the site of the birth of Jesus Christ. In fact, you can find a museum and several monuments on the subject. Actually, there are more than 60 museums in Jerusalem, 1,600 parks, and 2,000 archeological sites.

This means you have a lot to cover, and whether you’re visiting for the weekend or a week, you’ll need to travel hands-free. Looking for a safe place to store luggage while you explore Jerusalem? Download the Bounce app and find the most convenient and secure location for luggage storage in Jerusalem in just a few steps.

Luggage storage in Jerusalem

With so much to see and do in Jerusalem, carrying big bags and heavy personal items isn’t ideal. Many of the museums and tourist attractions do not allow large bags, backpacks and heavy suitcases inside. When dining or shopping, it’s much more pleasurable without lugging a bulky backpack or bag.

We partner with local businesses to create safe and flexible luggage storage options that are conveniently located near transportation hubs, hotels, local shops and top attractions. We also have BounceShield™ Protection activated upon booking online, allowing you to sightsee without worry, knowing your bags are safe.

Unlike Jerusalem Central bus station luggage lockers or train station lockers, we always have availability and room for your bags, no matter the size.
