Historic Prague railway station reopens as cultural centre

The former Praha-Bubeneč railway station located on the edge of Stromovka Park opens its doors to the public on Wednesday as a new cultural and leisure centre.

The renovated space, called Station 6, features a café, a gallery, a multifunctional hall, a veranda with a seating area and a bike rental service. It will offer concerts, exhibitions, sports activities and various community events.

Designed by architect Antonín Jüngling and set into operation in 1854, Praha-Bubeneč was the second railway station to open in Prague after Masarykovo nádraží in the city center. The building opens exactly ten years after the last train stopped there.
