Praha-Masarykovo nádraží (Masaryk's station) is the oldest train station in Prague. It witnessed the arrival of the first train in Prague on August 20, 1845. At present, it is a terminal for suburban trains from Kolín, Kladno and Kralupy nad Vltavou.
The station is named in honor of Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the first President of Czechoslovakia (1918-35). During the Communist era, it was called "Praha stred" (Prague center). There are plans to close the station and to bypass it by newly built tracks from Praha Hlavni nadrazi to Holesovice.
