Public Bus
From central Nazareth, head to the main bus station located at the intersection of HaNassi and Yitzhak Nissim streets. Look for the bus line heading to 'Megiddo' or 'Megiddo National Park'. The bus ride takes approximately 30-40 minutes. Make sure to check the schedule for the latest departure times.
Walking
If you're feeling adventurous and up for a hike, start from the Basilica of the Annunciation. Head east on Paul VI Street towards the Nazareth Village. Continue straight until you reach the main road leading out of Nazareth. Follow the road up towards the hills, which eventually leads to Megiddo. This route is quite steep and may take around 2 to 3 hours, so be prepared with water and comfortable walking shoes.
