Get around Bethlehem
For first time visitors it is best to travel by taxi. Bethlehem is a small city so taxi rides are extremely cheap.
From the checkpoint to the Church of the Nativity (and anywhere within Bethlehem city) it should cost no more than 20 shekels (NIS). To travel from Bethlehem to it's neighboring suburbs of Beit Sahour or Beit Jala, it should be no more than 25-30 NIS. To travel to any of the destinations located outside of these areas (such as Herodium, any of the surrounding Monestaries or Solomon's Pools) it's advisable to negotiate a price with a taxi driver at the Bethlehem bus station. Many taxi drivers are willing to take you to a site, wait there while you tour a site and then take you back to Bethlehem for a negotiated price. Whenever negotiating a taxi price, always say the lowest price you think would be reasonable for the trip, and bargain with the driver from there. The driver will start as high as he thinks he can charge and bargain down for you.Make sure to agree on a price before going into a taxi.
