In Tel Aviv, which has a lot of traffic in the morning and evening hours, you may need to take the road a bit earlier by taking into account the departure time of your flight. Since the names of the stops in Tel Aviv are written in Hebrew, it is beneficial to get information about the route in advance by making search online.
Since trains are fast means of transportation, they are the commonly preferred options in Tel Aviv. However, because trains run every two hours, you should learn the departure times of trains in advance. Transportation to the airport by train which you will get on from the Tel Aviv Train Station lasts approximately 12 minutes.
In Tel Aviv, which is a crowded and complicated city, the fact that all of the signs are in Hebrew makes it difficult to drive for foreigners. For this reason, renting a car is a difficult option.

The international airport of Tel Aviv, which can compete with the world cities, is also quite dazzling. At the airport, which has three terminal buildings, everything is aforethought for the passengers.
Terminal 1, used for regional flights, is painted with the colors representing the three sacred mountains of Israel. Terminal 2 is only used as a cargo terminal.
Terminal 3, where international flights are made, has a small store called Buy&Bye.
