“the site of the first train station ever built in the Middle East”
Tel Aviv’s Old Train Station complex is a delight for the entire family. At 1 Koifman Street, corner of HaMered Street in between Neve Tzedek and old Jaffa, it’s called in Hebrew simply - HaTachana – which means ‘the Station.’ The station complex combines history, galleries, boutiques and specialty stores, restaurants and lots of family things to do. HaTachana was the site of the first train station ever built in the Middle East in 1892. The railroad station and line between old Jaffa and Jerusalem was a major advance back then, replacing camels for hauling people and freight. In its early years, the 35 mile (55 kilometer) ride took 6 hours! Eventually it was shortened to 4 hours. The station was used until the founding of the State of Israel in 1948. The station was defunct and abandoned until it was renovated and reopened as an entertainment complex in 2010.
