But during the pandemic when it was impractical, if not impossible at times, for me to leave the Czech Republic, a friend suggested we go there for a short holiday (basically a weekend getaway).
Long story short: I fell in love with Liberec almost immediately upon arrival. |

Some Liberec History
Liberec today is the fifth-largest city in the Czech Republic. A quick one-hour-and-15-minute bus ride from Prague’s Cerny Most metro and bus station, a trip to Liberec is a place you might want to consider visiting for a day trip or overnight stay if you’ve got time. This post will tell you just some of what awaits you.

Not far behind it stands the city’s theater, and just beyond it is the municipal library (pictured ealier). It stands on the spot of a former synagogue, which has sadly been lost.

At the end of your stay, you simply take the number 3 tram back to the bus station and catch one of the frequent buses back to Prague (best to purchase your ticket in advance, as they do get full and the seats are assigned). The ride takes one hour to the Cerny Most metro station (which is, admittedly, on the far outskirts of Prague, so your journey to your hotel will take more than one hour). But the bus lets you out right at the Cerny Most metro station, so in minutes you’ll be on a metro back into Prague - you can reach the city center in 18 minutes.
You can do it all in Liberec!
