Loud, dirty and obnoxious, but diverse. It’s great to see all types of Israeli cultures come together and have a good time in one place. Not only every culture, but every age group, too. The low rating is because the place is dirty and unkempt. They should have someone sweep the place everybody hour. The food here is surprisingly expensive: 6 dim sum dumplings for ₪38 (about $12, June 2022). And they are the frozen kind. The coffee at Akhmizan, though, is terrific! The barista is friendly, experienced and cares about coffee. The bathroom situation is atrocious! They don’t have proper circulation, and are either missing toilet paper, soap or both. The stench is horrendous. I tried desperately not to touch anything. Other than drinking beer, there are no adult entertainment or activities. Otherwise, it’s a nice place to meet someone and go for a walk along the old train tracks.

If you want to feel the vibe of Israel. The normal life, families just having fun, eating a bite, letting the kids run around, carusell, sometimes music... Than it is a place to see. Street foot and also Restaurants are there. It is the old Trainstation from Jerusalem. Find the signs who tell you about its history. (Near the old building) The plastic tents are here because Corona. So each Familie, group, couple has its own place. And one day also Corona is over! 🙂 And be happy from Jaffa (Tel Aviv) to Jerusalem it doesn't need anymore 6 hours. Well it was faster than on a donkey. Today you have a fast train and arrive in Jerusalem in one of the 5 deepest Trainstation in the world. But the modern station is somewhere else. Have fun!

Great place to go with family and friends around the clock. There is space to sit at throughout the entire premise. It’s great to see all types of Israeli cultures come together and have a good time in one place. Not only every culture, but every age group, too. Great vibes, full of beauty. You can go to eat, shop, or rent bikes and the like. Even just sitting around is a pleasant experience here. The first station is near to the Church of Flagellation, Mary's birthplace and the prison where Jesus and Barnabas were held prior to crucifixion. Very interesting area. There are many narrow slippery stone stairs down to these places the lighting is bad so would not recommend if you have trouble walking.

Cute, bubbly and centrally located, this outdoor pedstrian mall was once a 19th century train station. Resturaunts, cafes, bars, this place becomes easily crowded during weekend nights. Nice food selection, artsy market on some days, and a kids area.. it really is a great spot to hang around. The kids attractions include a merry go round and a few other like facilities. Wheelchair accessible, W.C, and parking area.
