Orlov Most (Bulgarian: Орлов мост) is a Sofia Metro station on M3 line. It was opened on 26 August 2020 as part of the inaugural section of the line, from Hadzhi Dimitar to Krasno Selo.

The station is located between Teatralna and St. Patriarch Evtimiy on the M3 line. Тhere is a pedestrian tunnel connecting it, to SU St. Kliment Ohridski Metro Station, allowing transfers to the M1 and M4 metro lines.[1][2]

Location

[edit]

The station is located near Eagles' Bridge (Orlov Most) and the north-western most edge of the Borisova gradina.

Transfers

[edit]

The station is connected to SU St. Kliment Ohridski Metro Station via an underground tunnel, in order to facilitate transfers between the M3 and M1/4 lines.

History

[edit]

The station was M3's northernmost terminus between 11 May and 15 June 2026, due to the construction of a junction between it and Teatralna Metro Station, intended for the expansion of M3 from Zhk Geo Milev to Tsarigradsko shose.[3][4]
