Planning your trip to Israel should be easy and exciting. We’ve gathered simple tips to help you travel smoothly and settle in comfortably for the celebration.

Travel

Getting to Israel

Flights from Toronto to Tel Aviv (Ben Gurion Airport) run regularly — with Air Canada and El Al offering direct routes.

You’ll need a valid passport (with at least six months before expiry) and no visa is required for Canadian or U.S. citizens staying up to 90 days.

We recommend booking flights early, as prices rise closer to the summer season.

From Ben Gurion Airport

Getting to Tel Aviv or Jerusalem is simple and quick. The train from Ben Gurion Airport runs frequently to both cities, or you can use Gett Taxi, Israel’s version of Uber.
