Getting there & around

From the airport

Ben Gurion Airport (TLV) is the main airport for Tel Aviv; Sde Dov city airport closed in 2019. The easiest public option is Israel Railways from Terminal 3 to Tel Aviv HaHagana, HaShalom or Savidor Center, about 15-20 minutes, then taxi, bus, light rail or walk to your hotel. A licensed taxi from the official rank usually takes about 25-45 minutes depending on traffic. Buses are possible but less convenient for first arrivals because they often require transfers via Airport City. On Shabbat and Jewish holidays, trains and most buses stop or are limited, so use an official taxi or prebooked transfer.

Around the city

Tel Aviv is walkable in the central beach, Rothschild, Neve Tzedek and Jaffa areas. Public transport is mainly buses plus the Dankal Red Line light rail, which links Bat Yam, Jaffa/south Tel Aviv, central Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan/Bnei Brak and Petah Tikva; the Green and Purple lines are not yet open. There is no completed city metro. Use a Rav-Kav smart card or a payment app such as Moovit, Rav-Pass, Pango or Cello, and tap/validate correctly. Israel Railways is useful for north-south city hops and day trips. Transit largely stops from Friday evening to Saturday evening and on Jewish holidays, so plan taxis, walking, bikes or scooters then.
