Tel-Aviv's historic train station has been renovated and restored to become a trendy shopping center and public gathering place. Located between Tel-Aviv Beach and the Neve Tzedek neighborhood the train station was built in 1892 and was the final stop on the Jerusalem-Jaffa railway line.

The stations unique heritage and historic value has been incorporated into the newly designed complex. Visitors can see restored train carriages and the original train tracks. The 16 train station buildings, some dating back to 1905, have been converted into shopping space, cafes and entertainment venues.

HaTachana is the venue for various special events throughout the year like the Beer Festival.
