Click To View Video - The Old (and new) Jerusalem Train Station
'The First Station' -- an Ottoman-era train station, has been converted into a cultural compound.
"It's awesome," exclaims a visitor to The First Station (http://mfa.gov.il/MFA/IsraelExperienc...), the renovated Ottoman-era train station in downtown Jerusalem, which has been turned into a hub for entertainment and nightlife.
"It's so much happening in one place and it's such a variety of fun things, tasty things, and a beautiful thing to see in Jerusalem."
The 130-year-old building stood empty for many years, and now it's alive with music, literary and artistic events for all ages, plus craft vendors, cafés and restaurants.
