Getting TO/AROUND: From Tel Aviv bus station there are egged buses running every hour to Jerusalems Jaffa street bus station. Jaffa street is very long, but I love the walk. You will pass the local police station, the Mahane Yehuda Market, Ben Yehuda shopping area and some of the main hostel accomodation. Also the main travellers bars and Zion Square. When you reach the end of Jaffa Road you will suddenly find the walls of the Old City looming before you.
If you don't fancy the walk you can catch a taxi, or sherut ( shared taxi) from outside the bus station
The only way to see the old city is on foot. If you catch a taxi you can be dropped just inside Jaffa Gate ( return to catch a taxi out of the Old City.
For the rest of Jerusalem, take taxis or Sheruts. Buses are available to travel to the outskirts of the city.
