Charles Bridge and Lennon Wall

Hey everyone!

So we've been in Prague now for about a month and we've explored as much as humanly possible within that time. We've found the obscure, quaint little places that the locals frequent, but we've also shamelessly indulged in quite a few tourist-y activities, two of which have been going to the Charles Bridge and the Lennon Wall.

These two places are absolute staples for travelers. You just have to visit them if you're ever in Prague. The Charles Bridge crosses the beautiful Charles River and the view from the bridge is unreal, especially on a sunny day. One Sunday morning, it was beautiful outside so Lilly and I ventured from our pension over to the bridge. It was packed with people but it was absolutely incredible.

As we made our way across the bridge, we were amazed by the street performers and vendors that had set up shop there. The vendors were selling everything from handmade jewelry and ornaments to painted canvasses. The street performers were even more impressive. My personal favorite was the blind accordionist. He was incredibly talented and Lilly and I couldn't help but stop and listen to his music for a few minutes.

Once we crossed the bridge, we made our way over to the Lennon Wall. In case you haven't heard of it, the Lennon Wall is basically a wall in Prague with colorful graffiti all over it. If you bring spray paint or a sharpie, you can write your own message on the Lennon Wall. Some people just write their names and where they're from, while others have made big elaborate designs that center around an inspirational quote. It's crazy to look at the Lennon Wall and think about how many people from all around the world have been there and made their mark before you. Ever since we went to the Lennon Wall, we've been looking for a sharpie so we can go back and write our own message.

The Charles Bridge and the Lennon Wall are just two of the many must-see sights here in Prague, and we'll keep you updated as we discover more!

Until next time,
