The first station
The First Station, originally Jerusalem's first railway station, has been transformed into a center for entertainment, culture, and food. The two-story building and surrounding area offer a variety of lively activities every day of the week including a farmer's market, designer's fair, a bazaar, Smart Tours, and sports activities.
Train Track Park is a 7km promenade built along the route of the old train tracks. The park connects the German Colony to Malha Mall. There are two marked paths, one for biking and one for walking. Along the path are water fountains and workout stations which make this new hip park a great location for physical activity.
Smart Tours offers bike rentals and two tour routes: Old City, City Center, Nachlaot and Encircle Jerusalem tour. Smart Tours also offers walking tours from June through August every day of the week.
Sports Activities
The First Station provides a variety of free sports activities throughout the week.
