faq.subtitle Haifa
March-May and September-November are ideal: 20-27°C, little rain. Summer (June-August) is hot (up to 31°C) but great for beaches. Winter has rain but fewer tourists. December is special — Holiday of Holidays festival.
Entry is free but modest dress required. Free tours at 12:00 daily (except Wednesday and religious holidays). You can walk lower terraces independently 9am-5pm. Upper gardens — only with guided tour.
No. Haifa has partial bus service on Shabbat (unlike other Israeli cities), but trains don't run from Friday 2pm until Saturday after sunset. Plan ahead or use taxis.
Unique December festival uniting Hanukkah, Christmas and Islamic holidays. Street processions, concerts, fairs in German Colony and Wadi Nisnas. Symbol of Haifa's religious coexistence.
Travel Tips
Useful tips for visiting Haifa
Carmelit is Israel's only underground metro: 6 stations from port to Mount Carmel in 6 minutes.
Falafel in Wadi Nisnas is considered Israel's best. Try at Abu Hani or Falafel HaZkenim.
April is cheapest month for hotels (up to 39% discounts).
For Bahá'í Gardens dress modestly: covered shoulders and knees, even in summer.

Safety
High safety level
Tourist area with low crime rate
Haifa is one of Israel's safest cities. Peaceful coexistence of Jews and Arabs. Tourist areas (German Colony, Bahá'í Gardens) are safe 24/7. Be alert on public transport due to regional situation. Hadar is less appealing at night but not dangerous.
