Trams form the backbone of Liberec's public transport. The system connects the most important points in the city and, thanks to a special line, extends all the way to the neighboring city of Jablonec nad Nisou.
The main and busiest transfer hub of the entire network is Terminál Fügnerova (often referred to simply as "Fügnerka"). All tram lines and the vast majority of city buses meet here. Thanks to its clear layout and central dispatch, connections are synchronized here, making it an ideal starting point for trips anywhere around the city.
Route: Lidové sady - ZOO ↔ Dolní Hanychov
The basic city line connecting the center with quieter parts of the city.
Route: Lidové sady - ZOO ↔ Horní Hanychov
The most important line for tourists, taking you to the foot of Mount Ještěd.

Route: Viadukt ↔ Jablonec nad Nisou

You can easily buy a ticket in these machines by selecting the ticket type (basic or discounted) and also by route (only for Liberec or also for Jablonec nad Nisou in the case of line number 11).
