Free Passover Museums & Sites 2027

Every Passover, Bank Hapoalim sponsors free entrance to over 40 museums, national parks, and heritage sites in Israel as part of their social program. The sites include some of the biggest and most famous museums in Israel, as well as many other beautiful areas of Israel and smaller museums. The free Passover entries are incredibly popular, with thousands of Israelis taking advantage. As a result, museums have become busier than pretty much any other time.

Below is a list of museums and sites that typically open for free over Passover. It is a good idea to check with the museums directly as the holiday approaches, and refer to the Bank Hapoalim website for full information, as pre-registration for most sites is required.
