Getting Around in Jerusalem

Getting Around Jerusalem

The Jerusalem Light Rail (Red Line) runs from the northern suburbs through the city center to Mount Herzl, with a rechargeable Rav-Kav card usable on both trains and Egged buses. The Old City itself is entirely pedestrian, cars cannot enter most of it, so walking is unavoidable and the main way to experience it. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are widely available for longer hops or after dark, and most public transport stops completely for Shabbat from Friday afternoon to Saturday evening.
