The First Station

In operation from 1892-1998, the Jerusalem Railway Station was then abandoned and neglected until its reopening in 2013. The historic building, now referred to as the HaTakhana HaRishona, or First Station, now serves an entirely different purpose. Home to food stalls and restaurants as well as shops and art displays, the newly minted cultural center hosts lively events and offers a good representation of the carefree side of Jerusalem.
