How to Get to Ramat HaSharon#
Ramat HaSharon is a suburban city directly north of Tel Aviv and is best reached via Ben Gurion Airport. A short train ride into Tel Aviv followed by a local bus or short taxi completes the journey; local bus services provide frequent connections to the rest of the Gush Dan metropolitan area.
Ben Gurion Airport (TLV): Ben Gurion is the main international gateway for Ramat HaSharon. From TLV you can take the airport train to Tel Aviv (Savidor/Savidor Center or HaHagana) then a short bus or taxi to Ramat HaSharon; total travel time is typically 25-45 minutes by public transport depending on connections.
Sde Dov (no longer in regular service): Sde Dov used to serve domestic flights to and from Tel Aviv but is not a practical arrival point for international travellers; TLV remains the main option.
Train: Take Israel Railways from Ben Gurion Airport to Tel Aviv (Savidor/HaHagana); from Tel Aviv connect with Dan and other bus operators to Ramat HaSharon. The rail leg is fast and frequent.
Bus: Dan and other local operators run frequent buses between central Tel Aviv, Herzliya and Ramat HaSharon. Buses are frequent during the day and are the usual way locals commute between Ramat HaSharon and Tel Aviv/Herzliya.
How to Get Around Ramat HaSharon#

They are convenient for airport trips or when travelling with luggage, but more expensive than public transport-expect higher fares during peak times.
