St. Patriarch Evtimiy Metro Station: Schedule, Lines & Map

St. Patriarch Evtimiy station is a station on Metro Line M3, opened on 26 August 2020 as part of Phase I of the line. It is located at the intersection of Vasil Levski Blvd and Patriarch Evtimiy Blvd, close to the Odeon cinema and the square of the same name — one of the most emblematic public spaces in central Sofia. The station is fully underground with a deep placement and side platforms. The concourse and ticket hall are set on a mezzanine above the tracks and platforms, offering a broad view down into the platform hall. The station has two entrance buildings — one with an exit towards the square, the other facing the Odeon cinema. The dominant artistic motif throughout the interior is the Bulgarian embroidery pattern — a symbol of national identity, spirituality, and the pursuit of beauty, chosen in reference to Patriarch Evtimiy himself, a prominent figure in Bulgarian history associated with faith, literary culture, and enduring national values. The embroidery patterns appear as vertical friezes along the walls guiding passengers down to platform level, and as large-scale decorative compositions on the walls and floors. Materials include thermally treated granite on staircases and ramps and polished granite in the commercial zone and on the platforms, combined with granite tiles, glass ceramics, and clinker. The station was designed by architect Irena Derlipanska. Transport connections: buses 9, 72, 76, 204, trolleybuses 1, 7, and night line N4.
