Stations on line A
The transport company has announced that Hradčanská will close from the beginning of January 2027 to replace its ageing escalators.
For about two months the closure will overlap with the reconstruction of Flora: it will be the first time Line A has two stations shut at once.

Flora has been closed since 2 February 2026 for a full reconstruction. Line A trains pass through at reduced speed without stopping; the ticket hall, the underpasses and the shops are shut.
Reopening was first planned for December 2026. In August 2026 the transport company moved it to the end of February 2027: taking down the platform ceiling exposed damaged reinforced-concrete and steel beams, and in several places the fire-protection layer was missing altogether.
The works replace the original Soviet escalators, more than 45 years old, along with the stone cladding, wiring, ventilation and lighting, and add lifts. The lifts will not open with the station: the operator expects them in the first quarter of 2028, so Flora will reopen still without step-free access.
What to use instead: the neighbouring Line A stations Želivského and Jiřího z Poděbrad, nearby Náměstí Míru, and trams 10, 11, 13 and 16, which run right past the station.
Sources: the Prague transport company’s press release announcing the closure and its August 2026 notice extending the works. The PID timetable confirms it independently: both Flora platforms (U118Z101P, U118Z102P) are still in stops.txt but have not a single row in stop_times.txt. Verified 6 September 2026.
Náměstí Míru is the deepest station of the Prague metro — its platform lies roughly 53 metres below the surface, served by the longest escalator in the EU (about 87 metres, 533 steps, a ride of around 2¼ minutes). The western section from Dejvická to Nemocnice Motol, with four new stations, opened on 6 April 2015, and its glass-fronted modern stations stand in sharp contrast to the line’s original 1970s core.
