Coming2Israel.com - Israel Railways Web Page Primer - Enjoy The

Ride!

Read our Outline Below and Then Open The Israel Railways Web Page.

When you first arrive on the Israel Railways website you are presented with some options.  Perhaps the most important link for you, is to the Journey Planner link.  From this link you can enter the station that you will start from and then the station that you will end up at, and the site will show you the options, schedule and pricing available for the tickets you will need to make your trip.  There is also a link to Tickets and Pricing, but you can mostly by-pass this link as the Journey Planner link will present the pricing information for you anyway.  Feel free to click on it for your own information.  Of course, using the Journey Planner link assumes that you already know which station you will need to use for your  trip.  We will help you with this (see below).

Using the Israel Railways Journey Planner Web Page

Across the top of the page there is also a link to the Stations diagram web page.  It’s not really a map, as it just outlines the different stations and routes you can take with the Israel Railways service.  It shows the routes by color and the stations they recommend you change trains if you need to for your trip.  As an example, the only route going to the Ben Gurion airport by the train, is colored lime green on their diagram, so, if you are coming from The South, you would need to transfer trains at one of the stations - more below.  The circles for the stations are click-able and will pass you to a page outlining specific information about that station.  This information includes the hours that the ticket booth is open, the address of the station and some of the amenities available at that station.  You can copy the address to your favorite map or GPS program to see where it is exactly, but we have done this work for you already:

Taking the Israel Railways Trains To Ben Gurion Airport

If you are a traveler with minimal luggage - luggage that you can manage by yourself, taking the train to the Ben Gurion Airport can be the easiest, quickest and most simple way to get to the airport.  From the Israel Railways Station Index page - Link to the Israel Railways Station Guide Web Page You can see that the Lime-Green colored line is the line you need to get to the airport.  Or you can use the Black-Blue Night Line running From Nahariyya all the way down to Be’er Sheva. From Tel Aviv, during the “day” you have the option of catching the train from all four of the Tel Aviv train stations.  NOTE:  During the night, you can only catch the train from the Savidor station to the airport.
