History
Opened1880

The mainline to České Budějovice opened in 1871, beginning from what is now Praha-Hostivař railway station. On March 1, 1882, the line was extended further towards Prague to this station, which was opened under the name Nusle. The station was renamed Nusle-Vršovice in 1912, and then Praha-Vršovice in 1948. The station is classed as a cultural monument. The station was reconstructed between 2019 and 2021, which included the opening of a new underpass to Nusle.[3][4]

Vršovice station is not served by the Prague Metro, but numerous tram routes call outside the station on Vršovická street.
