 At the Three Fiddles by M0B1US
Before the introduction of street numbers in 1770, Prague's houses were identified by a multitude of individual and characterful signs and emblems.
Many of these such as the one 'At the Three Fiddles' were business signs as the original owners were violin makers, although it is now a restaurant...
One of the best places to see these signs is on Nerudova Street in the Little Quarter rising up to the castle (and most likely on your route!), where there are a number of excellent examples.
The road is named after Jan Neruda, the poet and journalist, who lived in the house 'At the Two Suns' (No. 47) and now rests at the cemetery at Vysehrad.
Others to look out for include:
The Red Eagle (No.6)
The Three Fiddles (No.12)
The Golden Horseshoe (No.34)
The Green Lobster (No.43)
The White Swan (No.49)
See what else you can discover on your travels around the city?
Also along this street are two very impressive baroque palaces at No.5 and No.20, which are the Romanian and Italian embassies respectively... Leave a Comment

The tradition on Charles bridge looks like typical touristic tradition. You have to fondle the plafond of one of statues in the Charles bridge. Seems it is for luck! I'm not sure. In the photo you can see that people believe on this tradition very much - see how shines the plafond. :-) Leave a Comment

 John Lennon Graffity in Prague by globetrott
John Lennon
It had to be repainted quite often in Communiste times, ( and therefore it looks a bit different on many pics ) as it was regularily removed by the police, as there was a " bad capitalist message" as well :
...You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one...
Today it is really hard to be found between so many other graffities with less peaceful messages... Leave a Comment

 Wentzel Square & National
Museum by globetrott
For the people in Prague and the whole of Czechia it is also a place, where they gather in order to protest.
Jan Palach, a young student burnt himself there in 1969 in order to protest against the end of the " Prague Spring Revolution "
Russian tanks occupied the square in 1968 and made an end to a smooth revolution " a la Prague " , that had given a bit of freedom of speach and arts to the people. Leave a Comment
