Centrum Nauki Kopernik station — what to know

Centrum Nauki Kopernik station — Warsaw Metro

Centrum Nauki Kopernik is the last station on the left bank before the tunnel dives under the Vistula. It opened on 8 March 2015; the platform lies about 19 metres down and the station covers just under 8,700 square metres, making it one of the smaller ones on the central section. The exits lead straight out onto Powiśle and the riverside boulevards, and the name is no exaggeration: the Copernicus Science Centre stands a few dozen metres from one of the entrances.
