Getting to Ben Gurion Airport by Israel Railways

The Train Station at Terminal 3

Ben Gurion Airport's train station is located on Level S (underground) of Terminal 3. The station connects the airport directly to Israel's major cities and is one of the most convenient ways to reach the airport.

Main Routes and Destinations

From the Ben Gurion station, you can reach Tel Aviv in just a few minutes, as well as cities in the north of the country all the way to Nahariya. In addition, the high-speed rail line to Jerusalem runs to Yitzhak Navon Station in the city center.

  • Tel Aviv — a short and quick ride
  • Northern line all the way to Nahariya
  • High-speed line to Jerusalem — Yitzhak Navon Station

Operating Hours and Shabbat

On weekdays, the train operates 24 hours a day. It is very important to remember that the train does not operate on Shabbat (the Jewish Sabbath) and Jewish holidays — from Friday evening to Saturday night.

During these times, you will need to use alternative transportation such as shared taxis (sherut) or private transfer services.
