The Lennon Wall

Free, repainted constantly, and smaller than the internet suggests — a two-minute stop rather than a destination.

What it costs

Free. It is a wall on a public square.

When to go

Any time. It is busiest in the middle of the day when the Charles Bridge crowd spills over, and it looks different every few weeks because people keep painting it.

Getting there

On Velkopřevorské náměstí in Malá Strana, a couple of minutes from the western end of Charles Bridge. Metro A to Malostranská.

If you only have an hour

Give it five minutes and use the other fifty-five on Kampa — the island just south of it, under the bridge, with the mill wheel and the park. It is a two-minute walk from the wall and it is one of the quietest corners in Malá Strana, which the crowd twenty metres away never discovers.

What people get wrong

Two things. First, nothing on it is original — the wall has been painted over continuously since the 1980s, and the layer you photograph is months old at most. Second, the size: it is one wall on a small square, so treat it as something you pass on the way to the bridge rather than a stop you build a route around.

About what you read here. Everything on Access Prague is general information and our own editorial opinion. We research carefully and we say when the evidence is unclear, but we can be wrong, things change, and no article can know your particular situation. Please do your own research and make your own judgement rather than treating anything here as the final word. Prices, products and specifications around the topics we cover change constantly, and what suits one person will not suit another. Check current details yourself, and where a decision involves real money, safety or something you cannot undo, it is worth confirming with a qualified professional before you act.

We do not book anything. Access Prague is a guide. It sells nothing, takes no bookings or reservations, handles no payments, and holds no tickets, rooms or seats. Some links here lead to travel companies, and some of those are affiliate links that may earn this site a commission at no extra cost to you. Any booking you make is a contract between you and that company, under its own terms, prices and cancellation rules. We are not a party to it and have no responsibility for it — including availability, prices, changes, cancellations, refunds or anything that goes wrong on the trip. Check the details with the company before you pay.
