Ugly soviet subway station! This place looks old. The…read moretunnels are deep, but the place was clean. The architecture was interesting, almost like the Soviet brutalism. 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!

I like the other reviewer am quite fond of this deep tunneled metro. Once one pops out, unique…read morearchitecture to behold, nice park along the side, and the gateway to gorgeous, staid Vinohrady neighborhood with all of their "sady"s. The architecture is quite stunning in this affluent little neighborhood, a church, eats, parks, Zizkov hill nearby, the ugly Černy TV tower. To the city centre, but a short ride away. Of all the metros, probably came to this one the most in my two trips over there.

Also they generally have luggage. That can obviously slow the queue. Otherwise the metro is clean and fine. Escalators aren't as intense/long as some others closer to Namesti Miru.

"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).

Nice and convenient metro station not far from Old Town…read more The station serves as an interchange point between lines A and B, situated under the lower end of Wenceslas Square. Each line has a separate set of platforms which are connected by a series of corridors. From here you can get to many parts of the city, including the Lesser Town, where our hotel was.

Metro Můstek is a metro station in the New Town of Prague. It opened in 1978 and serves the lower…read moreend of Wenceslas Square with two island platforms. 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.

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*

While it does have escalators, it is not handicapped accessible. It is located under Kaprova street in the Old Town district near the Old Jewish Cemetery and the Rudolfinum nearby. The platform is quite lovely with white stone and red and gold aluminum moldings. It is clean and well lit. There are ticket vending kiosks and ticket validation machines but it is not a staffed station. [Review 12248 overall, 2032 of 2019.]
