It's Beginning to Look A lot Like Christmas.... In Prague

What is one to do on a Sunday in Prague two and a half weeks before Christmas? Check out the Christmas markets of course! So, where did I go? I started off in Wenceslas Square, moved towards the Old Town Square, down to Charles Bridge and up to Ujezd. Here it all is in pictures....

A statue of St John of Nepomuk. Touch the below plaques for good luck and the promise of a return to Prague! A few metres away is a cross you should also touch with your left hand for good luck. This marks the exact spot of where the priest was thrown into the water in the year 1383.

Love locks. Couples attach a padlock to this gate to symbolise their everlasting love. Located in Mala Strana, close to Charles Bridge.

The John Lennon wall. Created during the 1980's, this has been painted over by the authorities in the past but repainted again shortly after. It is said to symbolise peace and love.

Candles are lit and placed by the John Lennon Wall.

A Communism memorial just off Ujezd in Mala Strana. It consists of several bronze statues gradually disintegrating until there is nothing left. This is said to represent the gradual mental and physical deterioration of man living under the totalitarian regime, read more about it here.
