The City of Prague has officially approved a new name for the planned transport hub in Prague 5.

The current designation, Smíchovské Nádraží, will be replaced by Nádraží Smíchov, a name that will now be used across all navigation and information systems.

“Since this hub will connect trains, the metro, city and intercity buses, and trams in one location, it’s essential to have a single, clear name to help passengers navigate easily. The name Nádraží Smíchov accurately reflects its significance while preserving the long-standing identity of Smíchov’s railway station. And now that we’ve secured the final permit, we can begin construction as early as next year! The new station will be a state-of-the-art 21st-century interchange that will not only transform Smíchov but also improve Prague’s overall transport network,” said Zdeněk Hřib, Deputy Mayor of Prague for Transport.

The station is expected to handle tens of thousands of passengers daily, making it the third-busiest transport hub in Prague, following Hlavní nádraží (Main Station) and Masarykovo nádraží.

“I am pleased that we finally have an official name. This is not just about transport infrastructure but also about clearly defining the city’s topography,” added Petr Hlaváček, Deputy Mayor for Territorial and Strategic Development.

The adjacent tram and bus stops will also adopt this name, creating a uniform system for travelers.

These updates will be progressively introduced into Prague’s transport signage and wayfinding systems.
