21 Places to Get Back Into the Beatles

"Tucked away into a nondescript street away from the touristy hustle and bustle that usually pervades Prague, the Lennon Wall takes your breath away. Every inch of the wall has been filled with Lennon-inspired graffiti and Beatles song lyrics. It is a quiet, almost respectful space as visitors walk down the length of the beautifully painted wall.  An image of John Lennon was first painted on the wall (opposite the French Embassy) after his murder in December 1980. Soon, it became a prime site for political and Beatles-inspired graffiti and a sounding board for disgruntled youth. Several attempts were made by the police to whitewash the wall, but in vain. Artists continued to paint on the wall, refusing to be pinned down. The wall is the property of the Knights of Malta, and after repeated attempts to keep the wall clean, they finally gave in and the wall now stands in all its graffitied glory. Visitors may even see someone working on the wall whilst you’re there. Often it is students keeping the tradition that began 40 years ago alive. Update as of October 2019: The wall has been covered by tarps and is undergoing renovations. The site plans to reopen as a gallery for professional artists." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

Worth a visit, try and go early so there's no need to queue to take photos (I say queue, but most people don't and will just push in, so early means there's not too many folk around) there's a support of Ukraine poetry event at the wall which was interesting. It's a bright and bold wall which I'm glad we made a stop off at. Also, just round the corner is a beautiful waterwheel which you can see from a small bridge. It's a lovely wee area.

Artists and graffiti lovers should pay this place a visit ! Political views and many people are standing for good causes or matters there. You can read many letters full of good wishes for war victims too.

If you are a fan of John Lennon, then this is a must visit place when in Prague. The wall is lined with fan tributes, letters, writings, photos, wall art, and photos. There is a lot interesting content. One could literally spend hours looking through them all. There is even a section with writings to support Ukraine. Most of the content is in English, while some in other languages. Use Google Translate and you will be able to understand the other contents.

It was alright. I'd say it is worth seeing, because of Lennon, but beautiful graffiti is obscured by people's signatures. Place is pretty crowded, especially at noon, when people are coming back from the castle, and it's pretty challenging to take a picture without someone in the frame

Lennon Wall is inspiring. There were a lot of notes and poems about Ukraine hung in front of the wall, so it seems that Lennon Wall continues to adapt with the times, which is a good thing. Just the message of peace adds to hope.

A great piece of art to stop and think about all that is happening in the world. They currently display poems in support of Ukraine in front of the wall, which underlines the cultural values of the spot itself. The poems are heavy to read but provide an excellent reminder of why a wall of peace is needed.
