Israel’s Trains Add 170+ Extra Services for Holiday Shows

Great news for travelers planning to catch Israel’s famous holiday performances this December! Israel Railways is adding over 170 extra trains between December 11-31 to help visitors get around easily during the busy holiday show season.

The enhanced service includes dozens of special trains running daily, expanded station services, and a brand new inspection tent at Tel Aviv University Expo station to speed up your journey. This is perfect timing if you’re planning to experience Israel’s vibrant holiday entertainment scene.

Here’s a bonus for families: through a partnership with Rav Kav (Israel’s public transport card), children traveling more than 50 kilometers can ride for free. That’s a fantastic deal if you’re staying in one city but want to catch shows in another.

Pro tip: Make sure to get your Rav Kav card early in your trip – it works on trains, buses, and light rail throughout Israel. With these extra services, getting between Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and other major cities for holiday events will be smoother than ever.
