Tel Aviv

Set on the shores of the Mediterranean, Tel Aviv is a vibrant, cosmopolitan city known for its sunny beaches, cutting-edge innovation, and rich cultural mix. This dynamic metropolis offers a unique blend of old and new—where bustling markets, contemporary art galleries, and authentic Middle Eastern cuisine sit just steps away from sleek skyscrapers. Architecture lovers will be drawn to the city's famed White City district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring over 4,000 Bauhaus-style buildings. With one of the most exciting nightlife scenes in the world, Tel Aviv is the perfect getaway for travelers in search of sun, culture, and unforgettable experiences.

Flights from Bratislava

Direct flights from Bratislava to Tel Aviv will operate once a week, every Thursday, from May 29 to October 23, 2025. Operated by Arkia Israeli Airlines, the flights use a 180-seat Airbus A320. Departures from Bratislava are scheduled for 21:25, with arrivals from Tel Aviv at 19:55. Tickets are available through major flight booking platforms.

Getting from the Airport to the City

Ben Gurion Airport offers convenient connections to central Tel Aviv by train, bus, taxi, or shared minibus (sherut).

Train is the fastest option, with direct service from the station located beneath Terminal 3. The journey to central Tel Aviv (e.g., Savidor Center Station) takes around 18 minutes and costs 13.50 ILS (~€3.50). Trains operate 24/7 from Sunday to Thursday but do not run during Shabbat (from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening) or on certain Jewish holidays.

Bus line 445 provides a budget-friendly alternative, running hourly (except on Saturdays). The trip to the city takes approximately 33 minutes.

Official taxis are available just outside Terminal 3. Travel time to the city center is around 20 minutes, depending on traffic.

Sheruts are shared minivans that depart once full (usually 10 passengers). They are more affordable than regular taxis and operate even during Shabbat and holidays.

Note: Public transportation (trains and most buses) does not operate during Shabbat. For travel during this time, we recommend using a sherut or taxi.
