Rajská zahrada metro station
Rajská zahrada (German roughly: Garden of Paradise) is a subway station of the Prague Metro . The train station is located in the Černý Most settlement , directly on the Chlumecká street, in the northeast of the city. The underground station is the penultimate one at the eastern end of Line B and opened on November 8, 1998; it has two platforms, each 102 meters long and 7.5 meters (upper platform) and 4.2 meters (lower platform) wide.
The Rajská zahrada metro station is unusual by Prague standards as it is located directly at street level. The underground tunnel from the direction of the city center / Hloubětín leads directly into the station and in the direction of Černý Most there is an above-ground tunnel. Furthermore, both tracks are on different levels. Various shops can be found on a third level. Due to its overall construction of blue steel frames and blue-colored glass, it is considered a post-modern masterpiece of Prague subway architecture and therefore received the title “Building of the Year” in 1999. The architects are engineers Patrik Kotas and Jaroslav Kácovský .
By May 2023, a new stop of the same name is to be built on the nearby Lysá nad Labem – Praha railway line as a link to regional rail traffic.
