Where to stay in Haifa

Downtown and the German Colony

  • first-time visitors
  • restaurants
  • port access

Wikivoyage calls Downtown the main commerce area of the city, because it is at the bottom of the mountain, with the German Colony, Wadi Nisnas and several prominent museums. Wikivoyage says the German Protestant Temple Society settled the neighbourhood now known as the German Colony in 1868. It also places the cruise terminal and the Carmelit subway near downtown.

Getting around Haifa

Wikivoyage says Haifa is connected to Tel Aviv, Akko, Beer Sheva, Nahariyya and Ben Gurion International Airport by Israel Railways, the trip from Tel Aviv taking a little over an hour, and recommends the train from the airport terminal. It lists six train stations in Haifa, and says the two main bus terminals each sit next to a train station.

Locally, Wikivoyage lists the Metronit bus rapid transit system, the Carmelit subway between Carmel Centre and downtown, and a cable car between Bat Galim and Stella Maris. Wikipedia describes the Carmelit as an underground funicular railway with six stations.
