Metro Wilanowska is a station on Line M1 of the Warsaw Metro, located in the Mokotów district of Warsaw at the junction of Aleja Niepodległości, Puławska Street, and Aleja Wilanowska, all main streets of Warsaw. It is an important transfer point to a large bus station serving routes through the city and to the surrounding towns and villages. Multiple tram lines and additional bus stops connect this transport hub with other parts of the city.
The name of the station "Wilanowska" stems from "Aleja Wilanowska" (Wilanowska Avenue), a main artery of 5,8 km connectiing the district of Mokotów to Wilanów.
The station was opened on 7 April 1995 as part of the inaugural stretch of M1, the first metro line in Warsaw, between Kabaty and Politechnika.[1] The station will be a future interchange between the future M4.
