Jerusalem-Tel Aviv High-Speed Railway Line
The Tel Aviv – Jerusalem railway line departs from the airport and heads to the Yitzhak Navon Station on Shazar Street in Jerusalem. Traveling from Ben-Gurion to Jerusalem takes about 25 minutes, and traveling from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv (HaHagana Station) takes about 30 minutes. There is no passenger parking at Yizhak Navon Train Station. However, several available parking lots are around the station, within 50-900 meters from the railway station. The station is within walking distance from Binyenei HaUma – International Convention Center (150 meters) and from Jerusalem Central Bus Station, a kilometer away from Machane Yehuda Market. The centrally located terminus is spread over five accessible floors. Passengers who need a wheelchair lift to get on and off the train are highly encouraged to coordinate their travel in advance so that the presence of an operating staff member is granted. Visit the Israel Railways website or contact customer service for booking and coordination.
Please note that on the Israeli weekend (which lasts from Friday to Saturday), the rail lines end their hours of operation an hour before Shabbat on Fridays, and they return an hour after Shabbat on Saturdays.
