Flora metro station (line A) stays closed until the end of February 2027

Flora station on Prague metro line A, closed since Monday 2 February 2026 for a complete reconstruction, will not reopen until the end of February 2027. The Prague public transport company DPP says the closure now runs about three months longer than the turn-of-the-year target it gave earlier, after builders found the platform ceiling in worse condition than planned. Line A trains still pass through the station without stopping.

DPP says a large part of the platform ceiling's reinforced concrete and steel structure needs replacing, and a required fire-protection layer is missing in places. An expert assessment by the Klokner Institute of the Czech Technical University confirmed that the extra work is necessary. DPP looked at reopening the station in stages but ruled this out, because the remaining construction phases depend on each other. Separately, Hradčanská, the next station on line A, is due to close in January 2027 for escalator work lasting about 11 months, so the two stations will be shut at the same time for roughly two months.

What it means for your trip

• Use the next stations: on line A, get off at Jiřího z Poděbrad or Želivského, the stations on either side of Flora, or at Náměstí Míru.
• Or take the tram: PID recommends regular trams to the Flora area: lines 10, 11 and 16 from Náměstí Míru, line 13 from Jiřího z Poděbrad and line 16 from Želivského.
• Longer than planned: the closure now runs through the end of February 2027, about three months more than the date DPP gave in September 2026.
• Hradčanská closes too: from January 2027, the next station on line A is also shut, for about 11 months, so both stations are closed together for roughly two months.
• Step-free access comes later: DPP still expects the new lifts, with an entrance on Vinohradská street by the steps to the Olšany Cemeteries, to open during the first quarter of 2028, after the station itself reopens.
