Prague Metro’s C Line to Close for Repairs at Florenc Station

The Prague metro’s C line will be closed for repairs at Florenc station from April 30th to May 1st, affecting travel between Hlavní nádraží and Vltavská stations. The closure is part of a larger 26-weekend closure plan for the renovation of the station.

During the closure, passengers will have to use the XC tram replacement service running between Hlavní nádraží and Vltavská stations. Line 36 will also run from Zvonařka, through Karlovo and Václavské náměstí, then on to Masarykovo nádraží, Vltavská, and Výstaviště. The closure may cause some disruptions, and the Prague Public Transport Company (DPP) advises passengers to plan their journeys and allow for additional travel time.

The closure of the C line is part of a broader plan to modernize the Prague metro system, with improvements planned for other stations and lines. The DPP regularly provides updates on planned closures and disruptions to metro service via its website and social media channels.

While the closure may cause some inconvenience for passengers, the necessary repairs will ultimately improve the safety and comfort of metro users. The Prague metro system is an essential mode of transportation for residents and visitors to the city, and ongoing maintenance and improvements are necessary to ensure its continued success.
