Tel Aviv questions
Is 4 days enough for Tel Aviv and Jerusalem?
Yes. Three days covers Jaffa, the White City, the markets and the beach, with one full day in Jerusalem's Old City. Avoid the Jerusalem day falling on Shabbat, when trains don't run.
Do I need to book the Tel Aviv Museum of Art ahead?
Advance tickets aren't needed on weekdays but help at weekends. Check the museum's site for current prices and opening hours.
How do I get from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem for a day trip?
Take the fast train from Tel Aviv (HaHagana or Savidor) to Jerusalem Yitzhak Navon, about 55 minutes, then the light rail or a 20 minute walk to the Old City. Trains don't run on Shabbat, from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening.
What is the best way to get around Tel Aviv without a car?
Walk or rent a bike or scooter along the promenade and through the White City, and use the light rail or buses for longer hops. A Rav-Kav card or the Moovit app covers fares.
