Lonely Planet review for City of David

The oldest part of Jerusalem, the City of David was the Canaanite settlement captured by King David some 3000 years ago. The excavations are the result of work, still ongoing, started in 1850. There is much to see here, and quite a bit of walking is involved, so set aside a good part of your morning.

    oldcity2014 does not recommend this,

    More than 500 settlers, along with Uzi-toting security guards, live among Silwan's 14,000 Arabs. Elad's (a right-wing Jewish settler organization)archaeological expansion continues, with 88 Arab homes marked for demolition to build an "archaeological park." The group also has plans for a parking lot, a synagogue, 11 new houses for settlers and a cable car to the Mount of Olives.
