Prague is appealing in any season and has lots to offer throughout the year. The city is at its busiest during the summer months of July and August. Late spring and early fall are a little less crowded, whereas the slowest times are during the cold months of November, January, February and March, so if you don't mind the cold and prefer fewer tourists, this would be a good time for you to travel to Prague. For extra cosiness, hit the Christmas markets in late December.

If you are thinking of coming to Prague in early spring, try to schedule your trip around Easter when Prague is decorated and Easter markets are open.

Shortly after the assassination of singer John Lennon in 1980, this stone wall, located across from the French embassy, was converted into an impromptu memorial with a painting of the singer's face, candles, and song lyrics from The Beatles. Soon, political graffiti criticising the totalitarian regime began to appear. Despite the authorities' countless attempts to whitewash the wall, they never truly managed to keep it clean for long.

Today, the Lennon Wall is an endless tribute to the freedom movement. It has lots of graffiti, drawings, and messages, and anyone who comes here is free to leave their contribution. This is also a great spot for photos.
