During the First Republic (and also in 1948-53) the station was named after American President Woodrow Wilson, whose monument stood in the park in front of the station. The Nazis demolished the monument after the US entered World War II (late 1941). Now Wilson Street passes by the station building.

The territory of the station was expanded due to the construction in 1971-1979 of a new building, including a metro station. As a result of the construction, a significant part of the park was built up, and the historic neo-Renaissance building turned out to be inaccessible to view from the road.

From 2006 to 2012, the station was reconstructed and acquired an aesthetic appearance. Before that, the station was dirty and miserable, and homeless people and drug addicts lived on its territory. For 1 billion CZK, the Italian company completely restored the station, restored the park and made it convenient for travelers.

All major railway lines in the Czech Republic originate from the platforms of Hlavní nádraží, the main railway station of the capital.

If you need a ticket...

The easiest way to buy a train ticket is at the station ticket offices located on the first level (follow the sign “Jízdenky”). It depends on where you are going, which window to “knock” on:

• To travel around the country you will need Vnitrostátní doprava. The beauty of these tickets is that there is no departure time at all - you can go to your destination at any time. But remember: the ticket is valid for a day.
• The ticket for international flights (Mezinárodní doprava) clearly indicates the date and time of departure of the train.

The "electronic" purchase option is an online service on the website of the station - www.cd.cz. By the way, this is a cheaper option. After payment (by card), you receive an electronic version of the ticket by e-mail and, if the flight is international, you print it out. To travel around the country, it will be enough to call the number when boarding or show the ticket to the controller from a mobile gadget. By the way, you can buy a "travel card" for 3-8 days for a train tour throughout the country.

Another "electronic" option - through official app for mobile gadgets, with qr-coding.

The fourth way is ticket machines, which can be found anywhere in the station. Specify where and when you want to go, pay in cash or with a plastic card - and go!

And the last option - "from the hands" of the conductor. The point is that not everyone railway stations There are ticket machines and ticket offices in the Czech Republic, and you can buy a ticket from the controller even without extra charge. But if there is a ticket office, but for some reason you didn’t buy a ticket, you will have to pay extra 40 CZK to the conductor.

And one last piece of advice. To save money, buy a round-trip ticket, as it is valid for only 24 hours, and there is no strict time specified.

Everything for travel

In general, Hlavní nádraží is quite large in area, and life is in full swing here around the clock.

In terms of technical equipment, everything here is wonderful - travelators, elevators, escalators make it easier to move around the terminal. The scoreboard regularly updates information in Czech, English and German about the time, place and timing of train departure, the location of platforms and the numbering of cars. Even if you do not know English, let alone Czech, the information kiosk will answer all your questions in quite decent Russian.

Luggage storage is divided into two types: in some you can check in luggage for a day, in others - for 40 days. Opening hours from 03.30 to 00.30. If you did not pick up your luggage during the day, it is automatically transferred to the "forty-day" one. For storage of bicycles there are gray cells (80 CZK/day), blue ones for skis (100 CZK/day), red ones for golf equipment (100 CZK/day). Payment is made in 10 and 20 tikron coins. You can exchange for a trifle in a special machine.

On each of the floors there are comfortable waiting rooms with rooms for those traveling with children, ramps for the disabled, medical rooms, cafes, etc. But, unlike native Russian stations, they won’t let you sleep here - they will ask you to leave. Also, rest in the waiting room is available only to those who have bought a train ticket.

For holders of Debit, MasterCard, Viza ATMs are installed almost at every turn. There are also exchangers, but the exchange is not carried out at a very favorable rate, so you should use it if necessary and for a small amount. There are also many shops, shops and cafes, there is a pharmacy.
