Liberec is a city in the north of the Czech Republic, set in the foothills of the Sudeten Mountains close to the German border. It makes a good base for visitors who want town streets and mountain air within easy reach of each other.
In the city
The neo-Renaissance town hall stands out in the centre and is widely admired for its architecture. Walking around the square and the streets nearby is a relaxed way to spend an afternoon, with cafés and shops to stop at along the way.
Around the city
Ještěd Tower, on the ridge above the town, offers wide views over the surrounding landscape. The area is also known for skiing, and for walking and cycling in the hills in warmer months.
A visit to Liberec suits:
- Travellers interested in architecture and the old town centre
- Those who enjoy panoramic views and outdoor activities
- Visitors who want to combine city time with time in the mountains
Check the current opening times and transport options for the tower and the ski areas before you travel, as these can change with the season.
