Liberec
Urban RiverfrontLiberec sits in northern Bohemia near the Polish border, and it's a working industrial city that doesn't pretend to be something else. The centerpiece is Náměstí Dr. Edvarda Beneše, the main square ringed by Austro-Hungarian architecture and the Town Hall with its distinctive tower—climb it for views across the Jizera Mountains. The Liberec Regional Gallery (Krajská galerie výtvarného umění) occupies a 19th-century palace and rotates contemporary Czech art alongside historical collections. For something less touristy, walk through the Botanical Garden (Botanická zahrada) on the city's edge, where locals actually spend weekends among native and exotic plants. The Ještěd Mountain looms above town; a funicular railway (Lanovka na Ještěd) takes you up to the iconic 1970s TV tower and restaurant, where the view stretches into Germany and Poland on clear days. The neighborhoods around Jablonecká street have genuine cafés and small shops where you'll hear Czech spoken naturally, not performed for visitors.
