Location and layout

The station is under Dragan Tsankov Blvd at the intersection with Frederic Joliot-Curie Str. It is located next to the World Trade Center - Sofia and near the Russian Embassy. The station serves the East Residential District and the existing East Bus Station. It is defined by a central entrance vestibule with underpass links to both sides of the boulevard and the surrounding residential areas. The entrance vestibule and ramp of the station are covered with granite tiles and have Hunter Douglas suspended ceilings. The entire station was designed in vibrant colors: the platforms are covered with colored granite tiles and the walls have panels of circular red mosaic designs set on white tiles. The walls behind the panels are covered with a deep blue mosaic. Because of the peculiarity of the route, the station's platforms enter a maximum curve.
