Old Railway Station

TIME : 2016/2/19 3:38:44

Once the terminus of the Jerusalem–Jaffa train line, this station near the southern end of the beachfront promenade operated between 1892 and 1948 and was subsequently used by the IDF as a storage facility before being converted into a retail and entertainment complex between 2005 and 2010. Now home to shops, cafes, bars and a branch of the popular ice-cream chain Vaniglia, it's known locally as HaTachana (The Station). On Friday, a vegan market is held here.

Note that cafes and restaurants open on Friday evening, but the shops in the complex close at 5pm.
