Palmovka (in Czech pronounced as /ˈpalmofka/) is a Prague Metro station on Line B and also a neighborhood and a street in Libeň (Prague 8). The western metro entrance connects the station with the tram lines; the eastern one connects the station to a bus terminal.
The station was opened on 22 November 1990 as part of the extension from Florenc to Českomoravská.[2] The station was dug by a cut-and-cover method. The station is 203m (666feet) long and its platform is 10m (30feet) wide, without columns. Both ends of the platform have escalators connecting users with the vestibules. Step-free access for the station was completed in November 2017, through the installation of two passenger lifts connecting the western metro station entrance with the station platform.[3]
The name of the station and adjacent neighbourhood derives from the Palm's homestead, from the family name of the 18th-century owners of the homestead, which have already disappeared under the new development.[4]
