Panorama Prague's main train station set for extensive renovation in coming years
I am standing in the main departure hall of Prague's main train station. Right to me a group of homeless men is staring into nowhere, drinking cheap wine ... fast food stands scattered around are offering rather overpriced refreshment. Not a welcoming sight ... Dark, dirty corners and hallways have given the main train station a bad reputation. It is now perceived as a dangerous and disgusting place. You wouldn't want to spend too much time here. It would be difficult to find a single person, local or foreign, who would be proud of this gateway to the Czech capital. This nightmare is soon to come to its end. The capital's biggest train station, which was built in the 70's, is to undergo a major refurbishment. If there are no delays it should kick off this autumn and in four years time it should resemble an airport hall and become a center of traveling as well as leisure time.
