Beautiful City both old and new city. Make sure you go under the wall and the Temple Mount in the Old City, as well as the Cardo. Go across the way out of the Dung Gate to the City of David and take a tour there as well. In the new city visit the Knesset if you like Chagall art, the Israel Museum, The Aquarium with a butterfly house, the Music Museum, and Shuk HaCarmel for a meal.

The site is located at ancient Emmaus which includes a Byzantine and Crusader church, burial caves and a Bathhouse (located in the nearby park). Of great Christian religious importance and worth a visit. Since it's just off the main Jerusalem Tel Aviv highway it is easy to get to.

A small but nice place near the Park Canada/Latrun.
It cost only a little entrance fee.
For people who like old churches, it's a nice place to visit when in the area.

Visiting Emmaus for a worship service with a pilgrimage group is a deeply meaningful experience not to be missed. Non-religious tourists may find it interesting for that importance but not a must-see. For Christians the story of how the disciples recognize the resurrected Jesus ‘in the breaking of the bread” is fundamental to the faith. So it is that lens they use to admire the ruins of the Byzantine basilica and visit the small museum dedicated to archeological finds and history. Without that perspective others may simply see a few broken stone walls and some faded mosaic remnants. Nevertheless, Emmaus has an aura of calm and peacefulness accessible to any visitor.
As usual the authenticity of the site is supported by consensus over other possible locations. What is known is that the area has been fought over for hundreds of years ranging from battles of Joshua, Greeks, Romans, Crusaders, Ottomans even into the 1967 Six Day War. Richard Lionheart spent Christmas of 1140 here. The Basilica was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. Today the site and gift shop are reverently maintained by a detachment of the French Catholic Community of the Beatitudes. By car there is easy access from the main road from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.

Apart from the biblical connotations this site is located off the main highway to Jerusalem-Tel Aviv, there you can find the remnants of what was an important village in the Herodian period, later a bizantine church and it is worth for catholic groups to stop here and do a mass, or if you explore the christian sites this site has to be visited. Entrance fee of NIS 5 is not a deterrant, take a brochure and walk around, as well as go into the museum and watch the video in several languages.
Enjoy it

You won't make much sense of this place without a guide, but we highly recommend a guided visit and go to the neighboring aijalon valley as well

As other wrote about what you can see her I would refer to two points :
1. Since the Community of Beatitudes took over this place there are explanations all over it and you can see that they take care of it.
2. In the building above the site they established a small nice museum about the history of the place.

Visited as part of a pilgrimage and it was opened especially for us by a priest who let us quickly tour the location and view the tombs.

One of the possible sites of Emmaus. Small archeological ruins from different time periods as well as 1st century Jewish tombs. Up the hill you’ll find the chapel of adoration. Nothing spectacular or ornate, but a beautiful and peaceful setting. My 2 year old had no problem walking around the area and even up the hill into the chapel. Worth a visit, especially since it is so easily accessible from Hwy 1 between TLV and Jerusalem. 5 shekels entry, children under 16 are free.
