I have visited Acre several times, and always been taken to see the Jail but on this visit, we saw this quite unique Synagogue. Every surface, floors, walls and ceilings are in magnificent mosaic, showing scenes from the Old Testament and other day to day scenes. Well worth a visit.

This is the place to go for great advice and information before you start your visit to Akko. The great staff can help you (in several languages) to orient yourself in the city and help you map out a great day of touring, eating, and fun. They have a short film, maps, brochures and lots of advice regarding where and when. Follow the signs to Tourist Information when you enter the old part of town on Weizmann st (there is a parking lot right there at 1 Weizmann where you can park for the day if you are coming by car). The signs kind of drop off but you can ask for help at any store or restaurant. You will see a lovely restored stone building with bright blue shutters. Inside is a gorgeous, light-filled space which also includes local artwork for sale and interesting informational exhibits. If you have transportation and a flexible schedule, they can help you extend your visit to the area to include other sites such as local inns, wineries, food or crafts workshops and beautiful parks and natural sites in the western Galilee. We just spent several days doing just that and there is a lot to do and see in the area! Enjoy your visit to historic Akko and the Galilee.

Spectacular manicured gardens surrounding the shrine that sits on the outskirts of Akko. Everything is immaculately groomed and exploding with color. Be sure to talk with the Bahai volunteers who come from all over the world to tend the gardens,

The old city is a delight. Wonderful nooks and crannies ; doors opening to reveal gardens and homes nestling within the Acre historic City walls over hundreds of years - Ottoman; Crusader Mameluke and Napoleon too. Churches abut synagogues and mosques. The port is bustling ; the Mediterranean blue and you can feel the presence of those who lived loved and fought in ancient Acre There is a fascinating Caravan Sarai which is locked up and derelict Oh but you have to walk ,Climb up and down cobbled paths and tiny lanes. So if you find that difficult it’s not an excursion for you.

The Turkish Bazaar in the old district of Acre , is one of the oldest covered art and find dining markets in the world. A comprehensive restoration project that took place in 2011 , renewed its infrastructures and turned it into one of the major landmarks of the old city of Acre. The Bazzar is easily reached from just about everywhere and can be accessed through three gates and directly from the Hospitaller Fortress exit. Come and be a guest in one of the fascinating restaurants and beautiful shops at the Acre Turkish Bazaar.

I enjoyed this more than the Arabic Quarter in Jerusalem, and I wish I had more time to properly explore the stands. You'll feel like you're in another world here, surrounded by stands with clothes, food, spices, and handcrafted goods. I would definitely try to spend at least an hour giving things a leisurely look.
