Liberec Attractions

Liberec, in Northern Bohemia, has some interesting sights. This town was once a wealthy place and the second largest city after Prague. The textile industry flourished here in the 19th Century and as a result some beautiful buildings were constructed. Among them, the neo-Gothic Town Hall (Radnice) the opera house, and the Museum of Northern Bohemia. Liberec was primarily German leading up to World War II but following the end of the war the Germans were expelled and Czechs settled in the town.

Liberec is the capital of the Liberec region and the town is still an important center in Northern Bohemia. Construction in recent years has seen some unique contemporary buildings erected. Notable are the National Science Library and the Ceska Pojistovna building.
