I go to the Kiryat Eliezer Stadium, at the foot of the Bahai Gardens, in the old German (Templar) Colony. The colony's main street Ben Gurion Boulevard boasts houses built of stone with red-shingled roofs. From here you can look up the mountain and see a unique view of the new Bahai terraced Gardens.
There is great transportation to get around. I pass the Bahai Garden daily. I'm always at Mt. Carmel where there is an Internet cafe. There is the Beit Egged bus lines running into and out of Haifa as well as the Bat Galim Railway Station, in walking distance, which is a central stop for all train lines running up the coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
"Haifa is the third largest city in Israel with a population of about 250,000 residents. Haifa is located between the green Carmel Mountains and the blue coastal plain and beautiful beaches of the Mediterranean Sea. Boasting a bustling seaport, airport, and rail line, Haifa serves as a national transportation center, a focus for commerce, tourism, and industry, and an international name in high tech. It is likewise a regional center for government offices, courts, hospitals, and cultural institutions, and home to a variety of institutions of higher education and professional training centers. "
