Akko Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Akko’s bus terminal and train station lie about a 20-minute walk from the main entrance to the Old City. From Haifa (11.70NIS, 30 to 50 minutes), bus Nos 252 and 272 depart frequently, as do the slower bus Nos 251 and 271. From Akko, bus Nos 270, 271 and 272 (express) run north to Nahariya (7.60NIS, 15 to 25 minutes). Sheruts wait outside the Akko bus station and depart when full, to Haifa (10NIS) and Nahariya (8NIS).

The most pleasant way to travel between Akko and Haifa (12.50NIS, 30 minutes) or on to Nahariya (7.50NIS, 15 minutes), however, is by train along the beachfront railway. Trains pass in both directions three times an hour. An automatic ticket machine is inside the station.
