The first time I saw the Lennon’s Wall was when the picture of it was printed as a postcard and sold in one of the bookstores downtown. It could be a regular wall with graffiti on it (most not even that well done), but what I like about this place is the controversy, which the paintings and writings of complaints evoked during communism and also the location itself.

After the death of John Lennon, this wall became a symbolic monument to him. Obviously, the communist government didn’t appreciate it quite as much as the people were painting and writing symbols of love and peace.

You can find the Wall off of Charles Bridge in the area called Kampa. This is an interesting juxtaposition because while both the Bridge and the Wall are historic, Lennon’s Wall is usually overlooked by the average tourist despite it being so close to Charles Bridge. Just walk down the stairs and share your message of love.
