    Arriving at Tel Aviv airport

    Because of its Hebrew initials, the Israelis refer to this airport as Natbag. However, to the rest of the world, it is known as Tel Aviv Ben Gurion International Airport. It is located in Lod, 15 kilometres from the centre of Tel Aviv. How can you get to the centre? It couldn’t be easier…

    • By train: straight from the airport, which has its own station underground. A handful of shekels and a quarter of an hour later, you will arrive at the first of the three Tel Aviv stations on this line: HaHagana, HaShalom and Savidor Central (Arlozorov). One departure every 30 minutes. No trains from Friday evening to Saturday evening.
    • By taxi: the airport’s official company lowered its prices in May 2017. It now costs less than 100 shekels for a journey of around 20 minutes.
    • By hiring a car from one of the seven companies present at the airport.

What to do in
Tel Aviv ?

Want to know the secret to a great time in Tel Aviv? Drink coffee! Lots of coffee, so that you can ward off sleep for as long as possible and keep up with the dizzying pace of this metropolis. After all, it shares a nickname with New York: the city that never sleeps. Perhaps it owes this non-stop whirlwind of activity to its age: this very young city has been around for barely 110 years. It’s just a baby compared to Jerusalem, the country’s other major city, which goes back millennia. And this youth is palpable: although Tel Aviv does not turn its back on local traditions, it is resolutely modern. Even its past is modern! The historic White City, for example, is still revered by architects today.
