Prague's Hradčanská metro station closes for a year from 16 January 2027

Prague's Hradčanská metro station, on line A, closes completely from Saturday 16 January 2027 for a full rebuild that the transport operator DPP expects to take about a year. According to DPP, the work replaces the station's escalators and rebuilds the vestibule, the underpass and the platforms, and the station is due to reopen at the end of 2027. During the closure, metro trains keep running on line A but pass straight through Hradčanská without stopping, so passengers cannot get on or off there. DPP says a step free entrance is not part of this phase of the work.

What it means for your trip

• You cannot use Hradčanská for about a year. From 16 January 2027 until the station reopens at the end of 2027, get off one stop earlier at Dejvická or one stop later at Malostranská instead.
• Malostranská is the useful alternative for Prague Castle and Malá Strana. It stays open throughout the works and already serves that side of the river.
• If you are staying or have business near Hradčanská, such as the Dejvice or Bubeneč area, plan for a short walk or a tram connection from Malostranská or Dejvická instead.
• The closure covers all of 2027, so it affects any trip planned for that year, not just the first weeks after the January start.
• Accessibility is unchanged for now. A step free entrance at Hradčanská is not part of this project; DPP describes it as a separate, later investment.
