Places worth knowing in Beer Sheva — and how to reach them easily

Beer Sheva is far more than the capital of the Negev

In recent years the city has grown considerably and become a centre of culture, nightlife, business, study and tourism. Whether you live here or are visiting for the first time, there are plenty of places worth knowing — and a taxi is the easiest way to reach them.

1. The Old City

Beer Sheva’s Old City blends history with restaurants, cafés, galleries and cultural events all year round. It is an excellent spot for an evening out, as a couple or with the family.

2. Beer Sheva River Park

One of the largest and most impressive parks in Israel, with walking trails, cycle paths, playgrounds and seating areas facing the view. A perfect destination for families and anyone who enjoys the outdoors.

3. BIG Beer Sheva

If you are after shopping, restaurants and a day out, BIG is one of the most popular destinations in the city, with a wide range of shops, cafés and entertainment for the whole family.

4. Ben-Gurion University

The university draws thousands of students, researchers and visitors from across the country. A taxi is especially convenient for reaching the campus during rush hour, or when arriving with equipment and luggage.

5. Soroka Medical Centre

Soroka is the largest medical centre in the south and serves hundreds of thousands of residents. Arriving quickly and comfortably often matters — for visits, treatments, or accompanying a family member.

Why take a taxi?

A taxi gets you anywhere in Beer Sheva without hunting for parking, without sitting in traffic queues, and without depending on public transport. The driver knows the streets, picks the most efficient route and makes sure you arrive safely and on time.

Whether you are heading to work, to class, out for the evening or to an important meeting — a taxi is the simple, comfortable and fast way to enjoy everything Beer Sheva has to offer.
