Latest Akko hotel reviews
Helpfulness
Akko is located in the north of Israel. Its almost 2 hours drive from Tel Aviv and 30min' drive from Haifa.
Taking the train to Akko from Tel Aviv can be the easiest and cheapest way.
From Tel Aviv Merkaz (central train station of T"A) it takes 1hour and 40minutes and a round trip ticket cost 61shekels.
Trains are very comfortable and easy and it gives you a chance to see more parts of the way.
From The train station to Old Acre (akko), where basically most of the attractions are you can simply take a taxi. The way should take aprx 10 min' not more and the price should be aprx 15shekels.

Being a coastal town just north of Haifa, Akko is pretty easy to get to - well served by the inter-city trains connecting Nahariya, the furthest northern train station on the coast (only 10 minutes from Akko) and Be'er Sheva via Haifa (20 minutes) and Tel Aviv (90 minutes). Trains are pretty regular throughout the day/evening - last train around 8pm heading south (other than Friday - last train is around 3pm: no service on Saturday until late evening). The train station is about 20 minute walk, however, from the main gate of the Old City.
A day return to Tel Aviv is approx NIS 65.
Akko is also very well connected by buses - not just to the same coastal cities of the train line, but also heading inland to places such as Nazareth, Tiberias etc.

Most of the attractions for the tourists are located in the area of the Old town.
The best option to explore the old town is by food and for some good reasons : you can see a lot more this way and the other option is that there are places that you can't drive with a car because there are some narrow streets.

Train from tel aviv to Akko will cost something like 60 nis and it will take you between 1.5 to 2 hours..
Train is a great option to enjoy this city because you can see the most important places in less than 1 day.

Maybe the most simple and relax way to get to Akko is by train (and this way avoiding the traffic by car or bus)
There are trains from Tel-Aviv that going to Haifa and some of them will continue also to Akko.
