From Wikipedia:

The organisation maintaining the Garden Tomb refrains from claiming that this is the authentic tomb of Jesus, while pointing out the similarities with the site described in the Bible, and the fact that the Garden Tomb better preserves its ancient outlook than the more traditional, but architecturally altered and time-damaged tomb from the mostly crowded Church of the Holy Sepulchre; for all of these reasons, they suggest that the Garden Tomb is more evocative of the events described in the Gospels.[3]

The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is the traditional site of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The primary alternative site, the Garden Tomb, is preferred by evangelicals for the atmosphere but possibly predates Jesus by 5-8 centuries (Matthew 25:28 says that the tomb was a new tomb built for Joseph of Arimathea).
