Let's Get Practical

All bank branches have ATMs where you can use your credit card to receive shekels or your currency. You can also go to anyone of several cash kiosks for a cash exchange using your credit cards. Ask about any additional fees by the kiosk or your bank.

All buses are very cheap and take you around the city easily or to the central bus station for trips all over Israel. Try the train to Tel Aviv for  a nice leisurely 2 1/2 hour ride from Jerusalem to Tel Aviv proper.

Taxis are on the streets all hours. Ask for a fixed rate or use the meter if you think it will be cheaper. Sometimes during traffic a fixed rate can be better for you.
