    "It's awesome," exclaims a visitor to The First Station, 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.
