Jiřího z Poděbrad

The station is situated beneath a large square which is named after a Bohemian king Jiří z Poděbrad (1458-1471). It is located in Vinohradya - a pleasant town district consisting mostly of apartement blocks from the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. It is already part of the wider centre of Prague.
There is also a tram line going through this square, so metro-tram change is possible at this station.
The station itself is of a quite common type of driven stations on lines A and B.

And the ticket hall itself. Note the green cylinder above the station inspector post.

This is the green cylinder from the previous photo. These are placed in all new or refurbished stations and probably become a common part of the station signage in time. A similar green tube is also a in several stations above the platform (e.g. Kobylisy).
