Israel - Getting Around

Easy to get lost with all the traffic, therefor, use taxis or/and trains. Don't rent a flat over there because prices are skyhigh. Visit the beach, the Ezrieli towers and have fun during the nightlife.

Before you take a taxi make sure you establish a price with the driver and pay or they will try rip you off. Public transport - buses - are much cheaper and the drivers are very helpful.

nothing special in my town - except for being 15 minutes away by car (plus bad traffic) from the centre of Tel-Aviv. anyways, what can anybody possibly have to look for in Tel-Aviv? and know, i don't profess to know the streets. go lost even in my own tiny town.

Weather you are Christian, Muslim, Bahai, Catholic or just love history , Jerusalem is a must-see. Just one thing, if you go to the old Jerusalem market places, be prepared to bargain with the shopkeepers and also be warned that if you walk out of a shop empty-handed, chances are , they will folllow you down the road still trying to make a sale. Oh, yes and another think, would appear that our left means their right so be careful when asking for directions. Best place to stay is the Swedish Packpackers in the old city market itself. Its central to everything and you can hear church bells, mosques wailing and feel the vibe of the city...if these walls could speak!

Great city. You should take about 4 days to visit the most important spots. Be aware: no public transportation on shabat!!

Israel is a beautiful place to visit, and I recommend everyone should go. If your traveling alone a rental car is almost a must if you plan to see as many sights as you can. Drink lots of water. It tends to be very hot in Israel and your will do a lot of walking/hiking. If you want to float in the Dead Sea make sure you don't get the water in your eyes because it will sting very badly. If you do happen to get the water from the Dead Sea in your eyes simply take some fresh clean water and pure it over your eyes to wash away the Dead Sea water.

You need a car in most areas
