Quite simply, it is a large gorilla/ape lying on the ground with his legs crossed and his shiny brass cojones exposed to the world. Not a care in the world, Mister Ape. I don't know if it's lucky to rub them or kick them or just ignore them, but there they are. Denis Defrancesco is a French artist born on 28 June 1954. He lives and works between Prague, Budapest and Aix-en-Provence. Good luck, Yelp censors. I'm not sure what you're going to do with this one! [Review 12262 overall, 2046 of 2019.]

Hubby loves a good apple strudel, so when we learned that there is this little gem of a shop that…read moresells only strudels, we made a point to try it. It's not anywhere near the touristy old town area. So be prepared to travel if you want to try it. It's not hard to find though, just takes some time because you have to ride a tram and then walk 5-10 min to get there. Now for the strudel. I am no strudel expert and rarely eat them. We got an apple strudel first to eat right there. Hubby really enjoyed it and said it's not the usual apple strudel he is used to, but still very delicious. We then got three more to go (one of each type). We took it back to our condo to share with others in our travel party (that didn't make it out to Susta Strudl). The truth is, is it sooooooo good that you HAVE to make a trip out there? I don't think so. However, it is quite cheap, quite yummy, and if you have the time and want to see some place outside of Old Town AND you like strudel, well, then it's a no brainer to give it a try.

John Lennon never visited Prague. However, one of the most photographed places in the Czech capital…read moreis the John Lennon Wall. John Lennon, legendary member of Liverpudlian band The Beatles and one of the all-time greats of music, has been a symbol of the pacifist movement since the 1970s. This wall has been a way for people to express their thoughts during all kinds of times, Communism, Oppression, etc. Despite being painted over by the authorities time after time, the graffiti soon reappeared. This continued repeatedly from 1980 onwards, with messages and pacifist drawings that were a source of irritation for the government. Messages included song lyrics by Lennon himself and The Beatles and also inspirational and activist slogans promoting world peace. Young Czechs began to experience an awakening and found their own personal placard in the wall. The wall became a true memorial to the musician's legacy and a place where people could write slogans supporting peace, the environment and solidarity. Today, anyone can leave their mark or message on this unusual wall. Every day there might be new graffiti on it so it always has a different look.

According to our guide, the statue used to hang lower but they raised it because people kept stealing the horse's tail. [Review 12220 overall, 2004 of 2019.]

The old architecture is amazing, every angle makes for an awesome photo opportunity.

It is very touristy overall, but you can find some locals patronizing some of the businesses and restaurants such as Stridacka and U zlateho Tygra, and taking in live shows at the various theaters.

Yelp Review 2023 #106:…read more Not everything worth seeing is within our line of vision. I enjoy interesting things that you can find in unexpected places and spaces. This hanging statue of Sigmund Freud called "Man Hanging Out" by David Černý (the same artist that made Franz Kafka's Rotating Head). Find Svejk Restaurant and Pilsner Urquell on Husova and Betlemske Namesti and you're in the right spot. Now, look up! Story has it that when this statue was first unveiled, people actually thought it was a man in trouble dangling from a pole. What's the actual story behind this statue? Freud was of course a famous neurologist and the father of psychoanalysis - Czech Republic and Austria both claim him. Freud, who had oral cancer later in his life, was said to have died through assisted suicide by having his physician give him huge doses of morphine. After all, "the goal of all life is death" according to Freud. Another way to interpret this statue is how Freud describes the role of a psychoanalyst by using evenly-suspended attention (not focusing on what the client is saying but the the clients unconscious/subconscious ideas and affect). I'm not sure where I'm going with this but it made sense right before typing all this.
