Migdal & Buses

Migdal, the birthplace of Mary Magdalene ("Magdalene” is a corruption of Migdal), halfway between Tiberias and the Capernaum junction, was a flourishing metropolis during the Second Temple period. Only a tiny, white-domed shrine m;irks where the city once stood.

Buses #841, 459, 541, and 963 from Tiberius pass the Capernaum junction about once an hour en route north to Kiryat Shmona and Tzfat. Get off before the bus turns up the Mount and walk along the shore for 3km. For Tabgha, take die same buses and get off in Tabgha Junction. To get to Migdal, take bus #458, 541, 841 or 963 from Tiberias.
