    The Lennon wall is not that much off the beaten path, but it is still usually a quiet corner of the city. The wall began spouting Lennon's poetry in the 1980's and despite copious amount of communist domestos (always washes grey with every wash) the idea stuck. These days it's rather spoilt by the "Baz woz 'ere" and "Man U are crap" brigade adding their own erudite commentry to lifes' rich tapestry. Still, it's worth a look if you and walking to/from Prague castle. You can find it on the road between Kampa Island and the church of our lady below the chain. Basically, just cross Charles' bridge from the town side and turn right, then right again.

    Graffitis of John Lennon and other calls for peace and freedom have been the symbol of resistance to communism in Prague. There are two famous walls - this one is on Kampa Island, just south-west of Charles Bridge. It's worth the detour as the area is quiet and out of the main tourist path (old town square - Charles bridge - Prague castle).

    The 'Lennon Wall' is worth seeking out, if only for its sociological and cultural import. Tucked away in Mala Strana, it is the garden wall of the Grand Priory of the Maltese Knights. when Lennon was murdered, it became a sort of shrine to hs memory. Graffiti was regularly removed, and replaced, but it now seems to have become tolerated if not openly accepted. Perhaps its value as a tourist sight has been recognised, or perhaps the authorities have realised there is little point in pursuing the matter. It's on Velkoprevorske Namesti.

    Opposite the French embassy is the 'Lennon wall'. During the communist era it was here that revolutionaries daubed anti-government slogans, running the risk of arrest. Today the wall is covered with graffiti - poems and words of peace written by millions of visitors from around the world. To get there, as you head towards the West bank of the Vltava across Charles Bridge take the steps on your left hand side. This takes you into an oval shaped square Na Kampě. Cross this and turn right.

    The John Lennon Wall I'm not sure how off-the-beaten track this really is, but we were certainly the only people around when we stumbled across it on a Monday morning. John Lennon was a folk hero in Communist Czechoslovakia, and the wall grew to fame in the 80s. Apparently it's still a meeting place for fans on the anniversary of his death. It's opposite the French Embassy in a beautiful tree-lined square, just next to Kampa Island.

    The Lennon Wall is not actually that far off the beaten path - it is a handy detour to/from the castle from the old town. John Lennon never came here (as far as I know!) but the wall is called the Lennon wall because originally Beatles lyrics seemed to dominate the graffiti that covered the wall. It became a monument towards free speech - in communist times the wall became the soapbox of the repressed people of Prague and people risked arrest and imprisonment to get their message across. Nowadays the graffiti has gone down hill - it is in the "Pedro e Giulia 24/01/2005" league and the usual nationalist statements about ethnic minorities. Worth a brief look but not worth a special trip.

    We walked past the Lennon wall when we were in Prague in March '06 and thought we would have to see it again but we were surprised to see this bust of John Lennon fixed to the wall a little further down from where the mural is on our return in December '06.

    If you're a fan of Lennon don't miss this mural / graffiti dedicated only to this 'legend'. You cant miss it if you follow these instructions. When passing from Charles Bridge, lookiing south you'll see that the Vltava river splits into a stream which is called "The devil's stream". Just before the foot of the next small bridge (100 metres down from Charles Bridge) there's a water Mill. The graffitti are just round the corner on the walls of 'The grand Priory of the Knights of Malta' Be aware that not all written messages hail John Lennon. You might be offended with some of them.

    This wall has constantly changing graffitti on it. It began around the time of the Beatles popularity - hence Lennon Wall - and people would write slogans here in rebellion against communism.
