Getting to the Science Park by Bus
Almost all of Israel's cities have a central bus station which facilitates inter- and inner-city travel. The major cities have frequent travel schedules (for example: departure every 5 minutes from Tel-Aviv to Haifa or Jerusalem; departure every 20 minutes to Rehovot). The smaller cities have less frequent schedules, with only a few buses a day between locations.

Egged Bus Line information is available at these numbers:

• Rehovot: (08)944-6060
• Tel-Aviv (the national office): (03)694-8888
  The #200 is an express, the #201 and #301 are local lines.
  Ask the driver to let you off at the Science Park or the Railway Station.
• Jerusalem: (02)530-4704
  The #434 and #435 are both express lines.

Once at Rehovot's central bus station, there are a multitude of local buses which go to the Science Park (ask at the information window), or you can take a taxi from the taxi stand directly across the street from the bus station.
The Egged web site (Hebrew only) is located at http://www.egged.co.il.
It has detailed information on all inter-city bus schedules.

Getting to the Science Park by Car

From Jerusalem

1. Exit Jerusalem onto Route 1 (Jerusalem-Tel Aviv Highway).
2. Get off at the Latrun-Ashkelon exit.
   At the intersection at the end of the ramp, turn left onto Route 3.
3. Continue on Route 3 past 2 traffic lights. (The first light comes almost immeiately; the 2nd traffic light is after several kilometers, at Tzomet Nahshon). Continue straight through the large intersection of Tzomet Nachshon, and make the next right turn, at Tzomet Hulda, onto Route 411 to Rehovot. There is a sign at this point to Rehovot.
4. Continue on Route 411 (a very winding road) for approximately 11 kilometers, past Mishmar David, Hulda, Mazkeret Batya, Kiryat Ekron, and the large Bilu Shopping Center. At the traffic light which is immediately after the shopping center, make a right turn onto Route 40. You will pass signs to Kaplan Hospital on your left.

6. You are now at the southern end of Rehovot, and the Science Park is at the northernmost end. Drive through Rehovot, along Rehov Herzl. After you pass the train station you take the first right into the Science Park.

From Tel Aviv

1. Exit Tel Aviv onto the Ayalon Darom (South).
2. Continue on the Ayalon going south, until Ayalon Darom merges into the Jeruasalem Tel-Aviv highway (follow signs to Jerusalem, Route 1).
3. Get off at the Ashdod exit. The sign will also say Tzomet Ganot, or Ganot Junction. You are now on Tel Aviv Ashdod highway, which is Route 4.

From Haifa

Exit Haifa onto the Haifa Tel-Aviv highway, also known as Kvish Ha'hof, the Coastal Road (Route 2).

Continue to the large Glilot junction, Tzomet Glilot. From here you can choose between 2 routes:

Make a left turn, and shortly thereafter bear right onto the ramp leading onto the Ayalon Darom (South). Follow the instructions from Tel Aviv no. 2, above.

Stay on Route 4 until you pass both Rishon L'Zion exits and follow the instructions as listed from Tel Aviv no. 4, above.

Getting to the Science Park by Train
Travel to Rehovot by train is also possible from many cities in the North and South of the country. This service is fast and inexpensive. The train station in Rehovot is within easy walking distance to the Science Park.

Israel Railways maintains a friendly and helpful web site, in Hebrew at http://www.israrail.org.il, and in English at http://www.israrail.org.il/english/index.html.

Getting to the Science Park from the Airport
As you exit from the Arrivals terminal, turn left and continue straight ahead (and a bit to the right), where you will see the official airport taxi stand. (It is recommended to use this taxi service for reasons of reliability and cost.) Ask the driver to take you to Rehovot, to the Weizmann Science Park. The cost should be roughly the equivalent of $20 (US dollars), and the ride should take around 30-40 minutes.
If you are travelling light, bus #249 travels to Rehovot's central bus station from the airport. This is not, however, an express bus and the drive will take approximately 50 minutes. The cost is about US $3.00. Once at Rehovot's central bus station, there are a multitude of local buses which go to the Weizmann Science Park (ask at the information window), or you can take a taxi from the taxi stand directly across the street from the bus station.
