The city of Tel Aviv is bustling of its amazing architectural wonders and interesting historical places, the exact reason why it is one of the wonderful cities in the Israeli Mediterranean coastline. Tel Aviv also boasts its beautiful beaches and the central district has lots of shopping malls, parks and clubs to hang out. However, for you to reach these remarkable places you need to have a nice ride in roaming around the city. Entering the city is not a big deal since there are two airports as entry points, the Sde Dov Airport and the Ben Gurion International Airport.
The Sde Dov Airport (or Dov Hoz Airport) is located in the northwest part of the city, but this airport only serves domestic flight to different places in Israel such as Eilat, the Golan Heights, and the northern section of the country. On the other hand, the Ben Gurion International Airport is the major entry point to Tel Aviv for tourists coming from different countries and this airport is classified as a first class airport as it houses a large duty-free shopping mall (also considered as one of the largest in the world). Once you arrive at this astounding airport, you can definitely feel your safety because of the tight security measures, making it as one of the safest and secure airports in the world today. From BGIA, it will take you 20 minutes to reach the city of Tel Aviv by means of train or by taxi. There is no bus service directly to the city from the airport.
If you choose to ride a train going to Tel Aviv from Ben Gurion, the airport train station is conveniently situated at the lower level on Terminal 3, just below the arrival's hall. Actually, it is the suitable means of transportation from the airport as the train connects to four train stations in Tel Aviv (Tel Aviv HaHagana, Tel Aviv HaShalom, Tel Aviv Merkaz/Savidor, and to Tel Aviv University) as well as to other parts of the country. The Tel Aviv HaHagana railway station is the nearest train station just 8 minutes away from the airport, and it is about 400 meters east of the Tel Aviv Central Bus Station (the main bus station of the city). Next to HaHagana is the Tel Aviv HaShalom Railway Station, where most travelers go on board because of its proximity to the business areas and the Azrieli Center (one of the architectural wonders in Tel Aviv). Another important train station in Tel Aviv is the Merkaz/Savidor Railway Station which is the main central train station of the city and just 18 minutes away from the airport.
Alternatively, riding a taxi can be more convenient than riding a train and much faster as it can take you to the central city in less than 20 minutes. Nevertheless, this option is more expensive and will cost you at least $30 compared to a minimum of $3 when riding a train. But whatever choice you make, what is important that you can safely reach the city of Tel Aviv without any worries. Please visit our website www.telavivapartmentrental.com
