From Tel Aviv

By train

The most recommended way of getting to Beer Sheva from Tel Aviv is to take the train. The train leaves from any of Tel Aviv's train stations: Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv Central (located roughly at the intersection of Namir (Haifa) road and Arlozorov street) Hashalom road (connected to the Azrieli center) and Hahagana. The one-way trip lasts about 85 minutes. You get off at Beer Sheva North station (the final stop, Beer Sheva Central, comes a few minutes after that so if you missed the stop you can always take a taxi). For more information please consult the train information at 03-5774000 or 04-8564444 or the Israel Rail web page.

From the train station
When exiting the station take the Mexico bridge on your right directly into campus. Once past the security checkpoint, go straight ahead, passing the new Physics complex on your right. The mathematics building is the first building on your right after this complex. The new building on your left is the computer science building.

By bus from the central bus station

The Tel Aviv central bus station is reputed to be the biggest in the world. That makes finding your bus a bit tricky at times so be prepared to spend a couple of minutes wandering around.

The ride takes about 80 minutes. See the local directions for information on where you need to get off the bus and getting to the department.

By bus from the Arlozorov bus terminal

The Arlozorov bus terminal (also called Tel Aviv 2000) is located near the central train station at the intersection of Namir (Haifa) road and Arlozorov street.
