    John Lennon Wall 9/2024
    Sabrina S.

    Love the concept of the wall, but so sad to see how much graffiti has destroyed the wall. For example, the mirror with his face has been completely covered with various stickers, you can NOT see any part of him. Hard to really look at.....

    The John Lennon Wall symbolizes freedom of speech and the non-violent resistance of the Czech youth. The wall started in 1980, shortly after Lennon was murdered. Although John Lennon never visited the location of the wall, it was crafted as a symbolic burial site by the youth of Prague. Very cool that it's still here after 40 years. It definitely doesn't look like it did back then; it is constantly changing as new art is added over old art. Only con now is that you cannot see his face any longer as it has been completely covered. Once again arrive early to avoid tour groups.

    John Lennon Wall! (05/26/23)

    I loved the graffiti and the message of peace and love on the John Lennon Wall. Spent time smiling in looking at the layers of art and song lyrics written there. And, for the rest of about 2 blocks of the wall, I walked through Czech's history of political liberalization and of protests of the time! CHEERS!

    Yelp Review 2023 #86: Located between two museums: Kampa and Kafka, is this wall. The art installations I wanted to see while I was in Prague were blocked due to construction. Since I was already in the area, I decided to stop by Lennon Wall. Nobody was there at 7am. My mom was a Beatles fan so I'm familiar with them and Yoko Ono and all that. But I failed to see how this place is a landmark and tourist attraction. Graffiti is a modern expression of political sentiments. In the late 1980's, Czechs turned to this wall. It's been painted on, repainted over and over. Sure, it's colorful but I've been to many cities with much more impressive graffiti. It's free. It's there. Go visit or not. But don't make it a priority to see this wall. Trust me, there's plenty of free things you can do and see in Prague.

    Groovy wall of street art dedicated to John Lennon. It was interesting, but not a big "wow", unless you're a die hard Beatles fan. Its not far from the western end of the Charles Bridge and easy to find with Google Maps or following any one of the large tour groups. Lots of people trying to take pictures of course, so be patient!

    Interesting, lots of graffiti/tagging but interesting to look at. There is also a museum but we went at night and it was closed.

    Graffiti art with history! A great pop by to drop by and stroll through the streets of the wall! I was here when it was being remodeled. Nonetheless, a wonderful spot to be and learn the culture!

    This is a great piece of history to check out when in Prague. The wall art is beautiful, and it's a great spot that's really easy to find. If you want a clear photo, I recommend getting there early in the morning.

    What am I looking at? Don't take a plane just to see this please. It's lots of street art and of course a John Lennon art piece. I went at night so it wasn't crowded. I guess since I didn't grow up listening to the Beatles I don't have many emotions towards it. See it, take a pic and move on to the CASTLE or DEGAS Art gallery or the famous astronomical clock. Just my opinion...

    I love street art because it's free, it's usually politically charged, and it's ever-changing. The John Lennon Wall is worth a stop if you're in Prague. Be forewarned that it's a lot smaller than you'd expect and much of it is covered it ugly graffiti and swear words instead of art that's meaningful, but the wall's charming rough-around-the-edges, colorful glory is beautiful in its own right. Be sure to research the history of the wall, it's pretty rad. And all my fellow pacifists: don't forget to flash a peace sign in John's memory.

    Love, Love, Love! This is such a cool idea! Someone who owns this big wall by the Charles Bridge decided to make it an homage to the memory of John Lennon! Anyone can graffiti on this wall, but John Lennon type graffiti is encouraged! When I went, they had a portrait of John, along with anti-Trump works, and pro-Hong Kong graffiti, which made it sorta political. I made sure to draw my own graffiti and tag it up. Around the corner, there was a guitarist at the Love Locks Bridge playing Beatles songs, and the John Lennon Pub. The neighborhood asks that you not graffiti anything other than the wall, and leave the trees alone, which is a reasonable request. The coolest thing about this wall is that since it's been painted over so many times, that it's centimeters thick in layers of paint, and if you're lucky, you can find these stratified layered paint chips that look other worldly. If you're a Beatles fan, this is a must-see. It's an ongoing art project that seemed well coordinated and thoughtfully done. It seems that there was some coordination between the artists, the stuff I saw was pretty recently painted, and not covered in gibberish tags.

    In A Nutshell: -The John Lennon Wall was just okay to check out. -It's basically a graffiti representation of the face of "peace" during that time of the Czech Republic's history. -If you want to get a clear photo, I would suggest walking here early in the morning. Overall, it's easy to find and worth checking out in the small town of Prague.

    All You Need is Love Started as a tribute/memorial to John Lennon after his death, this wall became a protest outlet against communism in the student movement deemed "Lennon-ism". As the wall was painted and the graffiti was white washed, the following day it was painted again. Today, it carries messages of love and peace.

Here it is outside the opera house where Mozart first performed Don Giovanni in 1787. When asked about her inspiration for The Cloak of Conscience, Anna Chromy quoted Albert Einstein: "The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science..." It is an interesting and mildly creepy sculpture.

The server that served us was good, but we went around 8:30, and there were only 4 other customers sitting down. We didn't see a server at first or a hostess, so we tried to ask someone that's behind the entrance making coffee if we can just sit down. Let me tell you that she was so rude, as in she didn't even acknowledge our existence and totally stared and turned her head away. For an establishment in the middle of a tourist center open during breakfast hour, maybe have a cup or two of coffee so you don't become so rude. A few days in Prague, and by far, this was the rudest encounter. Everywhere else, they were super nice.
