Liberec

The city spreads across the Lusatian Neisse River valley between the Jizera Mountains and the Ještěd-Kozákov Ridge at 359 meters elevation.

Initially founded as Habersdorf in the 11th century, Liberec developed into a textile manufacturing center and received its town privileges from Emperor Rudolf II in 1577.

The North Bohemian Museum houses medieval Flemish tapestries, while the F.X. Šalda Theatre presents regular performances in a Neo-Renaissance building from 1883.

Direct buses connect Liberec with Prague in one hour, and the local transport system includes both trams and buses serving all neighborhoods.

The Ještěd Tower, constructed in 1973, combines a television transmitter with a mountain hotel at 1012 meters above sea level.
