John Lennon Wall

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!

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!

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.

It is peaceful and a cool place for a short walk and to take plenty of pictures! This is a dedicated area to John Lennon. I'm not a big fan, but it is still a "cool" place to see while visiting Prague. It's all about exploring the city and checking off places.

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.

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!

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.
