	Tips for a turist in Israel Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

My girlfriend will go to Israel in a trip soon.
Can you give me (her) some usefull information (links) and hints?
It is an organized trip but she may stay a few more days and she might need to use the public transport. I don't want her to get lost there.

That's an ugly misspelling in your thread title.

Since she is on an organized trip, I assume she already saw all the hot spots ( Jerusalem, Nazareth)

My recommendations:
-go see Haifa, and Bahai gardens.
-remember: NO FRICKING PUBLIC TRANSPORT FROM FRIDAY NOON TO SATURDAY EVENING None. Nada. Zilch - might as well spend it walking around the city she's staying in, (hopefully somewhere near the sea).
-If she gets a chance to hang around Tel Aviv in weekdays, this can be fun.
-Dead Sea hotels, Eilat, and Tiberias offer wonderful spas. Personally I recommend the dead sea for spas. could be pricey, though.

oh, yeah, and I also got this telephone number, which is the telephone number of the ministry of tourism help line:

02- 6271422 ( with 02 being the Jerusalem area code, so if she's staying there, don't use it) They speak english there, I think.

http://www.israrail.org.il/english/index.html is the railways site, but schedules are in hebrew only.

http://www.egged.co.il/Eng/ that's the site of Israel's largest bus operator ( doesn't operate the busses in Tel Aviv, though )

That's quite something, here public transport runs every day of the year.

Thanks Az.
Very helpful. Especially the part about no public transport. In Romania the public transport is never shut down completly. Fewer buses, but still...

I think he means it's not safe to ride public transit at those times...?

At least thats what I took from it.

No. No. NO. That's not what I meant. I meant NO PUBLIC TRANSPORT. *cries* *cries*

Ok, there is some, like a very small amount of minibusses, etc., and in our city of Haifa, a small assortment of bus lines, and there are cabs, but this is hardly enough.

Oh.

Although I think she'll realize this when she goes to catch a bus and it doesn't come
