Florenc (Czech pronunciation: [ˈflorɛnts]) is a Prague Metro station providing the interchange between Lines B and C. It serves the city's central bus station.

The station was formerly known as Sokolovská. The Line C station was opened on 5 September 1974 as the southern terminus of the inaugural section of Prague Metro, between Sokolovská and Kačerov. On 3 November 1984, the line was extended to Fučíkova (later renamed Nádraží Holešovice). On 2 November 1985, the inaugural section of Line B was opened, from Sokolovská to Smíchovské nádraží. On 22 November 1990, Line B was extended to Českomoravská.[1]
