Dejvická Nástupiště metra
Dejvická is a deep metro station in Prague, located in the Dejvice district. From its entry into service on 12 August 1978 until 2015 it served as the final station of Line A. This station is known not only for its unique design, but also for maintaining the status of the terminal station in the Prague metro network for a total of 37 years. Thanks to its architecture and history, Dejvická is an interesting destination for visitors whose interest lies in the development of Prague Metro.
The station was built in 1978 during the standardization period in Czechoslovakia. At that time, intensive urban and infrastructure development took place, which included construction of new parts of the metro. Dejvická was designed as a long-term terminal with two weaning and two turnaround tracks. Its depth below the European Street level was 11.5 metres, making it unique among the other stations of Prague Metro.
Architecture Dejvický is characterized by an island platform without a pillar structure. The walls are lined with ceramic glazed shapes of different Hurdis colours, which gives the space a unique look and atmosphere. In 2011, modifications to the station for connection to the newly built section of line A to Motola started, which led to its reconstruction in 2015.
Dejvická maintained the status of the final station on the Prague metro network for the longest time and was the second most busy station in Prague, with a daily turnover of passengers exceeding 117 000. In 2014, the ceiling plate was repaired, leading to the relocation of bus stops and causing chaos in transport, which was considered an April joke.
Dejvická is now an important part of Prague Metro, although it is no longer the final station. It is connected to the newly built Hospital Hospital Motol and offers disabled access to passengers through elevators and staircases leading to both vestibule. The station is easily accessible from the streets of European and Victory Square, which makes it an ideal place to switch between different forms of public transport.
Dejvická is not only an important part of Prague's infrastructure, but also a witness to history and changes in urban planning. Its unique design and long-term function as the final station makes it interesting for visitors who want to understand the development of Prague Metro. The station Dejvická is worth visiting not only as part of daily transport, but also as a historical monument to the city.
