Petřiny (Prague Metro)

Station platform

Petřiny is a station on the Prague Metro. It is one of four stations opened in 2015 as part of a project to extend Line A, together with Bořislavka, Nádraží Veleslavín and Nemocnice Motol. It is located under Brunclíkova street in Břevnov, Prague 6, next to the Petřiny housing estate, with a connection to a tram and bus stop and the shopping centre and a K+R at Na Petřinách street.[1] In 5 minutes by walk, quite near, there's also Gymnázium nad Alejí, ZŠ Petřiny jih and ZŠ Petřiny sever schools.

The station's tunnel is the largest underground construction on the Prague Metro, at 217m long, 16m high and 22m wide, located 40m below the surface.[2]
