About Nádraží Holešovice
Nádraží Holešovice is a Prague Metro station on Line C, serving the Holešovice mainline railway station.
The station was known as Fučíkova after journalist Julius Fučík until 22 February 1990. The names Vrbenského and Partyzánská were also considered. The station was opened on 3 November 1984 as the northern terminus of Section III.C (the extension from Sokolovská, now named Florenc), a status it retained until 26 June 2004 when the line was extended to Ládví station, before it was extended to Letňany station in 2008.
The station is an underground station with two turning tracks and two concourses. It is located just 7 metres below ground, which posed significant challenges for the engineers working on the construction of Section IV.C1 between 2000 and 2004; ultimately, they had to bend the siding tracks downward so that the line could pass under the River Vltava at all. (The original plans from the 1980s had called for the Vltava to be crossed by a bridge.) The floods of August 2002 inundated the station, and the water subsequently seeped into the construction site for the extension and into the already completed and drained tunnels under the Vltava (which had been opened to the public shortly before during an open day).
