There were a few places to shop in here, as you go through the area before catching the subway trains. The subway lets you out in front of a park with interesting sculptures that sort of work in with the design of the subway station. Large rock, marble and aluminium metal. The walls of the actual platform look like Lego pieces! The signs are pretty clear, and the ticket machine is easy to use. The trains haul it from one station to the next quickly. This was a nice station to get around. This station is mentioned in a Radiohead song "A Reminder," when the announcer calls out this station at the beginning of the song!

Of all the metros, probably came to this one the most in my two trips over there.

I like the green, silver and bronze on the platform, and the statue right by the escalators to get in and out of the station made it feel very grand. Due to the river being close by, there is only one entrance, the big advantage of this is it's harder to get lost coming out of the station, if you or a friend heads out the wrong exit. The station may also be useful for those visiting Prague Castle, as it is only 500 meters away, although that route did involve a large number of steps so I wouldn't recommend it. PRO TIP: Remember the Prague Metro REQUIRES a ticket but lacks a ticket gate, remember to purchase and validate your ticket from the machines by the entrance or risk a large fine.

For me Malostranska is where its at. There is a nice restaurant, its dry, safe and clean and as European metro's go that is great. The tram stops directly outside it.

"There are no problems, only solutions." ~John Lennon…read more Prague has some of the best public transportation in Europe. They have street cars that crisscross the city, buses, trains and the 3-line subway known as the Prague Metro. Like much of Europe, the system is clean, efficient and has monitors above the tracks indicating the number of minutes before the next train arrives (something New York City's MTA could desperately use). One oddity of the system is its depth. I got the feeling I was heading to a cold war bunker when riding down on the 100 meter long escalator at one of the stations which caused a little bit of vertigo. If you look over at the people riding the escalator the other direction, they all seem to be leaning away from what could be a fatal tumble. The system is no-frills. You're not going to find a coffee shop or an H&M in the stations, but it has an air of efficiency that harkens back to the days of the Soviet Union. It is also a bargain. Buy the 3-day pass which includes all public transportation in the city for 310 CZK (about $12).

The platform area is pretty with silver and gold signage. This station does have a lift signposted at each entrance, but you are able to use steps, which I prefer as it seems to be a given that subway station lifts stink of urine. As with any Metro Station in Prague, remember to buy a ticket before you board using the ticket machines. They have an English language if you prefer. You must also validate this ticket before boarding. Unlike other subway systems, there aren't traditional ticket gates, so don't get caught out or you'll risk a large fine. It acts as an interchange station between Lines A and B, and I did find it straightforward to get both in and out of the station and between lines if needed using the steps and escalators. I'm not sure about the lift route, but with they were well-signposted. 3* - Pretty average station along the Prague Metro network, the location is useful.

Opened in 1990, I couldn't tell you if the station is completely handicapped accessible as the signage could use some improvement to point out the lifts. I'm thinking that's a "No." This is an island platform with two tracks. On the one side, the next station is Florenc towards Zličín and on the other side, the next station is Invalidovna towards Černý Most. There are ticket vending machines and ticket validating machines here. For the low price of around $1.25 for 90 minutes of riding any Prague transport, that's a good deal.

The location of the station is good for tourists wishing to visit Charles Bridge, as it is just a short walk away from one of Prague's most crowded tourist attractions. The overall layout/look/feel of the stop is typical to most other stations on the network, no thrills, even down to the departure boards which I found a little confusing but it does the trick, as you're not going to have to spend long here waiting for a service. It is also an unstaffed station. It is easy to follow the layout of the station as long as you're able to head down the steps from street level to the platform due to a lack of a lift. PRO TIP: Remember the Prague Metro REQUIRES a ticket but lacks a ticket gate, remember to purchase and validate your ticket from the machines by the entrance or risk a large fine. The platform area is pleasant with red moulds. 3*
