Świętokrzyska station — what to know

Świętokrzyska station — Warsaw Metro

Świętokrzyska is the only place in Warsaw where you can change between metro lines. The M1 platform has been in service since 11 May 2001; the M2 platform, which crosses it at right angles, opened on 8 March 2015 after several years of rebuilding that involved tunnelling beneath a live line. Walking between the two platforms takes a little over a minute. Because practically every night bus route passes through, Świętokrzyska is also the city's most important night-transport node.

It is the 8th of 18 stations on line M2. The adjacent stations are Rondo ONZ and Nowy Świat-Uniwersytet. Running time: Rondo ONZ — 2 min; Nowy Świat-Uniwersytet — 1–2 min.

Yes. Every station on the Warsaw Metro has lifts between street level and the platform, and the platforms have tactile markings. We do not list the number or location of individual exits: Metro Warszawskie does not publish them in a consistent form, and guessing would be unfair to anyone planning a journey in advance.
