SHOPS WITH A UNIQUE DESIGN

Black Mountain is a Liberec brand, the work of the skilled hands and ingenious head of Lucie Erin Laštůvková (née Černohorská – hence the name). Lucka’s work combines simplicity, comfort and freedom with some surprising details. In her shop you can buy yourself an original skirt or dress, or t-shirts for showgirls of all ages.

Comfortable and stylish clothing, dreamt-up in the woods and sewn right here in Liberec, can be found at Hank. We like the simple lines and playful minimalism of their “from the forest” collection. All in all, this is clothing perfectly suited for those who feel they belong here. Just add yourself to the name of their website “I am Hank”.

Pink Tina is an “entrepreneur mum”, who has opened a shop packed with beautiful fashion, jewellery, accessories and decorations, for her own pleasure and for ours. She herself says that she dresses “Czech ladies in Czech brands”. We’re big fans of hers and can guarantee that you won’t leave her shop empty-handed.

To treat yourself to a handful of Bohemian craftsmanship, visit Hrst. There, three young women have brought their dream to fruition and have conjured up a place packed with wonderful design. It is home to the Tochceš sewing studio, but also sells other brands, such as: Playbag, Herbalka, Kudlanka, Pohana, Papelote and more…

TAKE THINGS EASY WITH A COFFEE OR SOME GOODIES

Cafés are a big hit these days. And no wonder, in the weekday hustle and bustle everyone deserves a bit of pampering. Especially the ladies. There are now so many great cafés in Liberec that we’ve devoted a separate article to them – designer cafés. Check it out.

And if you want to buy some premium coffee or something to help you make it at home, go to Sweet City, Liberecká pražírna or Ape Křižany. There you can also buy some excellent teas or nuts roasted near Ještěd. And we can’t forget to send you off to Kus žvance, a shop offering delicious jams, marmalades, honey and other farmers' delicacies, quality wines, yoghurts, fresh fruit and muesli.

CULTURE AND SPORTS

Few women can resist the opportunity to see some interesting art work. You have several choices of venue in Liberec. You can visit one of the smaller galleries or immerse yourself in waves of art at the Liberec Spa Regional Gallery. The beautiful exhibition spaces here are filled with paintings, sculptures, photographs and occasional performances. Most of all, follow the instructions and don’t forget to wring out your swimsuit into the sink. :-)

We’re well aware that many women enjoy sport. And we’re sure you do, too. One of Liberec’s many advantages is that you can choose whether you want to do something sporty out in the countryside and head off for a hike or a bike trip into the Jizera Mountains or to Ještěd, or whether you prefer to step up the pace a little on one of the city’s sports complexes.

PLEASANT RELAXATION

Our idea of relaxation is taking things easy, and then taking things easy some more. What could be better after a hard day than to treat yourself to some “deafening” silence in the steam of a sauna, to waft away all that stress and tension. Or perhaps a massage. After all, it’s so nice when someone looks after you for a change.

SOUVENIRS FOR YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES

When we’re off on our travels, many of us like to bring home a tangible souvenir or two, along with all those experiences and memories. If you’re looking for a truly imaginative gift from this neck of the woods, you’re best to shop at one of the regional manufacturers of the Jizera Mountains. Not only can you buy original clothing, accessories, jewellery, decorations and regional foods, they also offer you the opportunity to try out your creative skills and make something yourself.

And, to round things off, we have to mention a little something with the Liberec emblem, which you can buy here in the Liberec Information Centre. A legendary tin mug, a linen colouring bag, or some regional costume jewellery or pottery... there are plenty of fascinating gifts here to make someone happy, you’ll see. Just between you and I, ladies, it would certainly be a sin to come back from visiting ourCrystal Valleywithout a piece of jewellery as a keepsake. We’ve got some skilled craftspeople, you’ve got good taste. That’s the ideal combination.

We’ve gone through the whole of Liberec with you. We’ve taken you to the places we ourselves like to visit. We’ve imparted some of our experience and so you’re sure to like it in Liberec.
