Nádraží Veleslavín (Prague Metro)


Nádraží Veleslavín is a station on Line A of the Prague Metro. In early March 2015 it was put into trial operation and opened on 6 April 2015, together with Bořislavka, Petřiny and Nemocnice Motol stations.

History

Nádraží Veleslavín station opened on 6 April 2005. Initially, the station did not have escalator leading to the vestibule to the street, so people arriving to or going from the airport had to be helped by special staff. Therefore, in 2017 a decision was made to build additional escalators at a cost of 33 million Czech crowns.
The planned name for the station was initially just Veleslavín. Authorities later changed it to the current station name, due to it being next to the Praha-Veleslavín station as well as for the nearby tram and bus stop stops of the same name.

General information

The station is adjacent to the Praha-Veleslavín railway station and a bus terminal which became the new end of the 119 bus line from Václav Havel Airport and regional buses towards Kladno. The station is 20m below ground level. The station was designed by architect Hana Vermachová.
