The area
Address
Neighborhood: Malá Strana (Little Quarter)
Malá Strana is one of the oldest and the most beautiful neighborhoods in the city. Nestled underneath Prague Castle it was once a part of the Kings route taken by future kings on their way to coronation - originating in the Old Town, crossing Charles Bridge and leading to Saint Vitus Cathedral. Cobblestone streets are lined with picturesque medieval houses, remarkable palaces, churches, kitsch shops and restaurants. Do not hesitate to turn a corner into any narrow street. You will suddenly find yourself in a calm and charming neighborhood full of hidden gardens, parks with peacocks, fruit trees and ponds. As the neighborhood is a home to Czech Parliament and many ministries, you can also run into well-dressed officials. If you are thirsty or hungry, it is the right place to be. Restaurants offer delicious traditional food and of course, the best Czech beers.

We've just come back from a few days in Prague for my 30th Birthday and on the first day we wanted to take a walk to see the Lennon Wall. It's not too far from the other end of the Charles Bridge and isn't too far out of our way... But, I would recommend using Google Maps as the paper one doesn't show it and unless you know how to get to it its hard.
Worth a visit. It's really cool to see everyone's expression of freedom of speech. Whilst we were there it had 100s of poems to stand with Ukraine.

Have never been a John Lennon fan myself. However, for devoted Lennon fans, the Lennon Wall probably serves as a fairly colourful ‘shrine’. Saw one young guy deeply engrossed in writing a note to join the hundreds, if not thousands, that are already tacked to the wall.
The wall reflects the lower end of street art and the higher end of graffiti.
The Lennon Wall is in the Malá Strana at end of the Charles Bridge and on the left side, if you’re facing Prague Castle.
For ‘non-fans’, the Lennon Wall is a good point of reference for finding the watermill with the gremlin, only a few metres away.

This wall is very pretty but some parts of it have way too much drawings over. I feel like this is a thing you have to see just once and it is enough. Positive thing and one of the way you can join this wall is by taking a marker with you and for example write your name there. It is very beautiful for pictures

Tourist trap, staff extremely unwelcoming, drinks are a lot more expensive than any other surrounding bars and restaurants. Received incorrect beer and Coca-Cola was flat and warm. Recommend to go elsewhere.

A special place on a planet that is constantly finding itself in need of reminders of the importance of peace and love. To feel love and unity of the world come here to see uncensored art from anyone willing to add to it. And now there is an open poem to add your thoughts and prayers to the Ukrainian tragedy, very poignant!

This wall is open to artists to ever change and ever evolve. If you visit every few months, it will never look alike. It's an endless tribute to the freedom movement and hopefully will remain that way. It's very popular, so get there during a weekday, winter, or early morning.

One of the things to see in Prague is the John Lennon Wall and the Lennon Pub which are near the St. Charles Bridge. Because people are constantly adding to the images on the wall and covering up prior artwork it may look nonsensical and a bit chaotic at times. Closer inspection can show small personal additions from people who loved the man and his music. Often there are street musicians performing some of his songs. More importantly the wall is a legacy to the defiance of the Communist Regime who were in power at the time. As many times as the government painted over the wall, the Lennon images kept reappearing.

Walked by hundreds of times. I probably like the little, tree shaded, Velkoprevorske square more, than the wall.
It's been painted over many times, I just have never witnessed anyone going at it. People hang around and take pictures, sometimes they play Beetles songs.
My husband and I were on our way to dinner in Cafe Paris , just steps away ...

A public art display in honor of John Lennon, and the Beatles. Why not go see this evolving work of art by artist and ordinary folks?
This wall is open to the public at all times and is free for the viewing. It is also fun just to watch folks at the wall or engage in a conversation.
The power and influence of the Beatles and John Lennon are evident. We loved and love the music.

Taking a group of 20 students from Melbourne Australia to visit Prague on Dec 2nd 2019 and planning on visiting the Lennon Wall. I was aware that it was going through renovations. Has it been reopened? Is it worth the visit?

Dear Dora,
yes, the Lennon Wall was under reconstruction - the place had needed a change as a result of vandalism on it and its surroundings. Nevertheless, on the 30th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution in November, it reopened as an open-air gallery reminding its former values of love and freedom on November 7. So, you can come and see how it looks after the renovation - and let us know what you think!
Enjoy.

Die Mauer war früher eine gewöhnliche Altstadtwand. Seid 1980 wird sie mit John Lennon Graffitis bemalt. Da die Wand ständig neu bemalt wird ist das originale Porträt längst übermalt. Die Mauer ist auch Symbol des tschechischen Kampfs für Freiheit.
(Nach dem Tod von John Lennon hat ein Unbekannter Künstler das Porträt an die Wand gemalt.) Also gehe ich mal davon aus das J. L . nicht selber dort war.....😜
Wir sind spontan dort gewesen um ein paar Fotos zu machen.....

Go down the steps from the Charles bridge to Kampa Island, walk through the small square and take the second street on your right. Or go all the way until you see Hotel Kampa Garden on your right, continue going right past the Hotel Kampa Garden (you will kind of be walking in a circle), but just a few steps from the Hotel Kampa Garden you will see the John Lennon Pub on your right. Look right across the street and there is another great little restuarant on the corner and there is a water wheel. Take the bridge over the the little river (it's the bridge that is filled with locks), just on the other side of the bridge you will see the wall.
