Transportation tips... From Ben Gurion airport to Tel Aviv center, the cheapest way is to take the train to Arlozorov train station in central TA and from there you can take a taxi (not immediately outside the exit of the station but further on the main road - see warnings bottom of this page) or a bus, to your accommodation or if you have a large luggage and want to be comfortable you can use the airport taxi service see the airport site here you can find flight information and also see transportation related links. In the city you either walk or use public transportation Driving in Tel Aviv is not advisable Parking in Tel Aviv - there is NO parking in tel aviv - as all the big cities Tel-Aviv is packed and it is very difficult to find parking so unless you are a masochist don't drive a car in the city - better use your legs or a taxi or other public transportation.
there are a few places where you can rent a bicycle in the city the prices are around 40 Shekel per day. Bicycle in the Park in the Yarkon Park tel: 03-6420541 O-Fun 197 Ben Yehuda (corner Nordau Blvd.) 03-54422922 website Cycle in the city Neve Tzedek tel: 052-8708776

Dan Operates also the open roof tourists bus that tours the major attractions in Tel Aviv Minibuses service: very convenient and cheap to travel in the center they run all week even on Saturday fare is cheaper than a bus 5 shekels only no. 5 minibus runs all Dizengoff from the north to the central station and no. 4 minibus all Ben Yehuda and Alenby from the north to the central station travelling outside the city - to rent a car is a good option if you like driving and can afford it - driving in Israel is not too hard just study the maps and be patient because the Israeli drivers are not very courteous on the road... if you don't want to rent a car you can travel by bus or by train - they are both comfortable. Buses Eged covers almost every destination no matter how small most of Eged buses start from the central bus station - the old central station is not a very nice neighbourhood you might prefer to avoid it the new central station is not very nice neither but if you have to travel to Eilat or somewhere else with a Eged bus you might not have a choice to Haifa and Jerusalem you can take the bus from the terminal near Arlozorov train station (see EGED information) Trains are a great way to go around but they don't go everywhere check the Israeli Railway website Organized day trips to the North, to Jerusalem or the Dead Sea are offered by Egged Tours, Gray Line or United Tours Warning From the central bus station or train station never take a taxi that is not licenced and is hanging around looking for customers. This taxi not legitimate and charge a lot . You can go a few steps to the main road near by and stop a regular taxi with a number on it. These are licensed taxis from companies and they charge by activating the meter |
