I am not sure. I was on a delegation trip with an organization and we had our own bus. I would imagine there is a bus to Tiberias or another city in the Galilee region close to the site from Haifa.

Hi, Israel is usually super-safe. Just consider that January can be cold, especially in the north. The distance you intend to cover is quite short and there are plenty of people doing same. So eventually you do not feel safe enough when in Tabgha, then follow a larger group. In my opinion the experience of Holy Land is so intense that should be shared. Bye!

No you drive right up to the top and park at the top. No climbing

Hi ! On the hill there are several places you can have a private prayer or talk in the open . I am not sure it has to be reserved. The place is administered by the Franciscan missionary sisters. Open hours 0800-1145 , 1430-1600 . If you wish you can call them at 97246790978 . Gidon

Verad Hagalil is the closest B&B type accomodation. I sat on the deck of my cabin and overlooked Mount of the Beatitudes and the Sea of Galilee. Greatly enjoyed by morning meditation while sitting there and staring at the lovely view. I reviewed Verad Hagalil so you can see some detailed answers there. All the other places are not nearly as close. You will need a private car to stay at Verad Hagalil as no convenient public transportation serves the area.

I don't know. Please search in the church's site.

Hi - are you referring to a specific hotel or Israel in general?
