The complex features historic buildings displaying Renaissance Revival and Art Nouveau elements, with multiple tracks, waiting areas, and ticket counters for passenger services.
The station opened in 1904 during a period of urban growth with architecture designed to be impressive and welcoming. In the 1990s, one of the original station buildings was decommissioned and subsequently transformed into a cultural venue that continues hosting events today.
The station has evolved into a gathering place for arts and performances beyond its original purpose. The repurposed historic building now hosts theatre shows, concerts, and exhibitions that draw people from the neighborhood together.
The station operates from early morning until late evening, connecting Plzeň to cities like Cheb and Domažlice and beyond. It is accessible for people with disabilities, featuring ramps and special facilities, with train times and platform information provided through clear announcements.
A nearby bridge was renamed in 2013 to honor Ivan Magor Jirous, a local figure recognized for his contributions to culture. This connection shows how the station ties into the broader cultural history of the neighborhood.
