Five underground train stations planned for Prague

Prague will see the construction of a two-level underground train station beneath the main railway station, with additional underground stops at Wenceslas Square, Charles Square, Karlín, and Florenc. The project, part of the city's railway hub redesign, is estimated to cost CZK 185 billion and will include two separate tunnel routes. The plan, selected by the Ministry of Transport’s central commission, prioritizes shifting regional rail traffic underground while leaving long-distance services on the surface, Minister of Transport Martin Kupka (ODS) announced. The tunnels will span 10.6 kilometers and intersect at the main station’s central underground hub.
