General information

The station is built 27.8 m under the main road, Evropská třída, with one exit leading to the crossroad with Horoměřická street and another leading to the corner of Arabská street, at the beginning of the Červený Vrch housing estate. The Horoměřická exit will lead to a new suburban bus terminal serving Nebušice, Jenerálka and Horoměřice, as well as access to the tram network.{{cite web | url = http://www.metroweb.cz/metro/BUDOUCNOST/A/V-VIIA.htm | title = V.A, VI.A, VII.A - vizualizace, schéma trasy | work = Metroweb.cz | language = cs}} The closest tram stop to this station was renamed from Horoměřická to Bořislavka after the station was opened; the stop previously named Bořislavka, located one stop further towards the centre, was renamed Na Piskách.

Bořislavka was built as an underground station and it was designed by architect Miroslav Mroczek.{{Cite web|last = Hubertová|first=Kateřina|title = Architektura nových stanic Áčka se drží vyjetých kolejí|work = Česká televize|date= 1 March 2015|access-date=31 May 2020|url=http://www.ceskatelevize.cz/ct24/domaci/302750-architektura-novych-stanic-acka-se-drzi-vyjetych-koleji/|language=Czech}}
