It has a rather unattractive exterior compared to other stations. 1960I think we can attribute it to the soullessness of the architectural movement in the 1990s.

Also M4, M6, M12 and M13 metro lines also pass here. Of course, I don't want you to think that these intersection points of the subways are very close, sometimes you may have to walk in long passages underground, but in the end, they are all connected to each other somehow.

The station building is a complete complex, like the large stations in many European cities. It is a different world with its platforms, restaurants and buffets, shopping mall, ticket offices, information desks and waiting rooms. Always dynamic, always moving.
