New cultural centre to open in former railway station Praha-Bubeneč
A new cultural and leisure centre is set to open on the site of the former railway station Praha-Bubeneč in Prague 6. The former station building on the western edge of the popular Stromovka Park is being repurposed as a multifunctional space including a bistro, gallery, and hall where concerts, exhibitions, sports, debates and other community events can take place. The new centre, named Stanice 6 (Station 6), is due to open on 28 August, 10 years to the day since the last train stopped at the station.
The Prague 6 district, which manages the site, says this is the first time a railway station building in Prague has been permanently remodelled for a different use.
