Medical University Metro Station: Schedule, Lines & Map

Medical University station is a station on Metro Line M3, opened on 26 August 2020 as part of Phase I of the line. It is located beneath Georgi Sofiyski Street, just west of its intersection with Pencho Slaveykov Blvd, in close proximity to the Medical Academy — the country's primary national health and academic centre — and to the Madara Baths, a listed cultural heritage site of the highest historical value in Sofia. The station is fully underground with two entrance buildings — an eastern one with three entry points and a western one with two. It is equipped with 6 lifts and 10 escalators. The platforms are of the side type. The architectural concept is deeply influenced by the surrounding medical institutions: the dominant colour is blue — a symbol of water, sky, calm, trust, and security, and simultaneously the colour associated with healthcare workers. The walls are clad in Alucobond panels and cassette aluminium panels in a white-blue mother-of-pearl finish with a chameleon effect, intersected by deeper blue bands along the direction of travel. The granite tiles come in three colours — white, light beige, and pastel blue. In the eastern concourse, a decorative panel in an antique beige-and-blue pattern framed in copper mosaic with a metallic effect draws the eye. The overall concept aims to evoke a sense of infinity, balance, and calm — a counterweight to the pressures of everyday life. The station was designed by architect Irena Derlipanska. Transport connections: buses 72, 260, 604, trolleybuses 2, 8, 9, and night line N4.
