Getting There

Public Bus
From Nazareth, head to the main bus station which is located on Ha-Tsvi Street. You can easily reach it on foot from most central locations in Nazareth. At the bus station, look for a bus heading towards Akko (Acre). The journey usually takes about 30 minutes. Once you arrive at the Akko bus station, exit and follow the signs towards the old city. Templar's Tunnel is located at Asher St 37, which is about a 15-minute walk from the bus station. Walk towards the ancient city walls and enter through one of the gates. Continue straight on David Street until you reach Asher Street, then turn left. The entrance to Templar's Tunnel will be on your left.

Shared Taxi (Sherut)
From Nazareth, you can also take a shared taxi, known as a 'Sherut', which can be found at various points in the city, especially near the main bus station. Look for a Sherut that is going to Akko. These taxis will take off once they are full, making them a quicker option, typically taking around 20-25 minutes to reach Akko. Once you arrive at the Akko central area, follow the signs to the old city. After entering the old city, navigate to David Street and follow it until you reach Asher Street. Turn left onto Asher Street, and Templar's Tunnel will be on your left side.

If you prefer to explore on foot, you can walk from Nazareth to Akko, although it is quite a long journey (approximately 30 km) and may take around 6-7 hours. Start by heading south down to the main road (Route 754) and follow the signs towards Akko. However, this is recommended only for experienced hikers as it involves navigating through roads and may not be safe.
