A silver tower on a mountain and a grand old city at its foot

Liberec / Reichenberg Guided Tour in English or Czech

The only bookable guided walk in the city itself, and a well-reviewed one. A local guide takes your group through the historic centre of Liberec — the town the German-speaking world knew as Reichenberg — in English or Czech. Because the price is per group rather than per person, it is excellent value for families and friends travelling together.

• The historic centre with a local guide
• Offered in English or Czech
• One price for the whole group, up to 20 people

Prague: Ještěd Sunset Tour – Scenic Views & Small Group

An evening escape from Prague to the mountain above Liberec, timed so that you stand under Karel Hubáček’s tower as the sun goes down over North Bohemia. It is a new listing with no reviews yet, so book it with free cancellation — but nothing else on GetYourGuide is built around Ještěd itself.

• Sunset from the 1,012 m summit of Ještěd
• Small group with pickup in Prague
• Priced per group of up to six

Bohemia Tour: Turnov, Liberec, Ještěd Mountain, Škoda Museum

A private day out of Prague that follows the road north: the Škoda Museum, the gem-cutting town of Turnov, the summit of Ještěd and time in Liberec, with pickup and a meal included. The price is per group of up to three, which makes it a premium option, and as a new listing it has no reviews yet.

• The Škoda Museum in Mladá Boleslav
• Turnov, gateway to the Bohemian Paradise
• Views from Ještěd and free time in Liberec

From Prague: Full-Day Bohemian Paradise Guided Hiking Trip

A guided day’s walking in Hruboskalsko, the best-known rock town of the Bohemian Paradise, reached the local way — by train. Expect a proper hike between rock towers, viewpoints and castle walls rather than a coach tour with photo stops. Every one of its reviews so far gives it five stars.

• Travel by train to Hruboskalsko
• A full day among the sandstone towers
• A challenging but rewarding trek with a guide

From Prague: Hike the Hidden Valleys of Bohemian Paradise

A small-group hike that deliberately avoids the busiest paths: hidden valleys, narrow passages between the sandstone towers and a hearty lunch at the Hrubá Skála castle restaurant, with pickup in Prague. A good choice if you like your scenery without a queue.

• Pine forests and quiet sandstone valleys
• Zigzag paths between rock towers
• Lunch at the Hrubá Skála castle restaurant

From Prague: E-Mountain Biking Trip to the Bohemian Paradise

The Bohemian Paradise is hilly, and an electric mountain bike takes the sting out of it. This small-group ride covers about 20 miles past rock towers, country villages and castles, with pickup in Prague and a meal included. Rated 4.9 by nearly forty riders.

• About 20 miles (32 km) on an e-mountain bike
• Sandstone towers, villages and medieval castles
• Small group with pickup and lunch

• Bastei Bridge above the Elbe in Saxony
• Small group, pickup and lunch included

• Bohemian and Saxon Switzerland national parks
• À la carte Czech lunch included
• Small group with pickup

Ještěd Tower & Cable Car

The mountain-top hotel and transmitter that became the symbol of the city

A 1,012 m summit crowned by Karel Hubáček’s silver hyperboloid — a hotel, restaurant and television transmitter in one building, and a national cultural monument. The historic cable car has been out of service since an accident in 2021, so check how to get up before you go.

Liberec Town Hall & Old Town

A slice of Vienna on a North Bohemian square

The neo-Renaissance town hall of 1888–1893, designed by the Viennese architect Franz Neumann, dominates Dr. E. Beneš Square with its 65 m tower. Around it lie the F. X. Šalda Theatre, the half-timbered Wallenstein Houses and the lanes of the old cloth-makers’ town.

Liberec Zoo

The oldest zoo in the Czech Republic — and the home of the white tigers

A compact, leafy zoo in the Lidové sady park district that traces its beginnings to the early 20th century. It is best known for its white tigers and for long-standing breeding programmes with birds of prey and mountain animals.

iQLANDIA Science Centre

Hands-on science, a planetarium and a talking robot

A modern science centre opened in 2014, with several floors of interactive exhibits on the human body, the elements, geology and technology, plus a planetarium and science shows. Its older sibling for small children, iQPARK, is next door in the Babylon centre.

Jizera Mountains

Peat bogs, beech forests and lookout towers on the city’s doorstep

A granite plateau of spruce forest, upland bogs and dark reservoirs rising directly behind Liberec, with steep beech-clad northern slopes that are part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing. Easy forest roads suit walkers and cyclists; the hamlet of Jizerka is the classic goal.

Bedřichov & the Jizerská Magistrála

The capital of Czech cross-country skiing

A mountain village about 10 km from Liberec and the main gateway to the Jizerská magistrála, a network of around 170 km of groomed cross-country trails. Every February it hosts the Jizerská 50, the country’s biggest ski race; in summer the same forest roads belong to cyclists and walkers.
