The theme of the station is the “Blue Danube” and the color blue is featured throughout.[4] The interior is decorated with stained glass with images of cities along the Danube, including Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Linz, and Regensburg.

There are two station lobbies. The north lobby is at the corner of Bukharestskaya Ulitsa and Dunaysky Prospekt, while the south lobby is at Bukharestskaya Ulitsa and Ulitsa Yaroslava Gasheka (Jaroslav Hašek Street).
