JOHN LENNON IN PRAGUE

3999940133_ce74d73417

This is no joke – John Lennon is in Prague – well, to be precise, his wall is in Prague although John Lennon himself never visited Prague in his short life. Are you confused? Let me explain it to you then.

In Mala Strana, near the French Embassy, you´ll see the John Lennon Wall. The wall that was formerly an ordinary wall in Prague has been called Lennon´s since the 1980´s, when people have filled it with John Lennon – inspired graffiti and pieces of lyrics from Beatles songs.

Lennon was a hero to the pacifist youth of Central and Eastern Europe during the totalitarian era. Prior to 1989 when communism ruled, western pop songs were banned by Communist authorities, and especially John Lennon´s songs, because it was praising freedom that didn´t exist here. Some musicians were actually jailed for playing it!

The wall, located at Velkoprevorske namesti in Mala Strana, is owned by the Knights of the Maltese Cross, who allowed graffiti to continue. It will be a symbol forever.

How to get there from Golden Well Hotel:

go to the Malostranske namesti and take direction to the Charles Bridge, then turn first street to the right “Lazenska” and go still straight to Velkoprevorske namesti – it´s 5 minutes walking distance.

 

Explore the charming Ledeburska Garden

Prague is full of romantic hideaways…

 Explore the wonderful palace´s gardens right next to the Golden Well Hotel – Ledeburska Garden. This baroque terraced garden dates back to the 18th century and offers a quiet, hidden venue, away from the tourists. You, as our guests can enjoy a charming garden with a unique ambience and splendid views of the historical Lesser Town.

The direct entrance to the gardens from the restaurant terrace used to serve as a private entrance for the Emperor Rudolf II.

History of the Ledegurska Garden:

Prague Castle was heavily defended during the middle ages. When artillery reduced the importance of fortifications, the land outside the walls became available for garden-making. The uppermost garden, south of the castle, is known as the Garden on the Ramparts, were made in conjunction with Maria Theresa’s mid-eighteenth century palace. This garden has a baroque flavor and commands fine views of the city. Below this level, to the south, are a series of what were once private gardens which were extensively restored between 1973 and 1997. Street signs describe them as ‘Gardens beneath Prague Castle’ and there is an entrance fee. Individually, the gardens are named after the families which owned them: the Ledeburska Garden, the Small Palffy garden, the Large Palffy Garden, the Kolowratska Garden and the Small Furstenberska Garden. Like most private gardens, they were subject to constant re-design. Careful historical work preceded the restoration but, with the exception of the Small Furstenberska Garden, which was in better condition, it has produced a sameness of treatment. Yet the gardens are of considerable interest. They have vineyards, small parterres, fruit trees and herb gardens.

Keeping the skies ground-bound

Catching the sight of those heavy grey clouds bringing over the drizzling rain? Mind those falling ashes from the skies and wherever you go, be sure that you do not plan to take a flight there, even it is the wide world away from your home! Yes, so ruthless the airline forecast has been for the travelers for the past nearly a week due to the volcano eruption in Iceland and who knows – for the next one perhaps as well. Take a deep breath when figuring out another connection to your destination… and let Prague take your breath away if you are among those who cannot leave it (it is alright though, is has always been difficult to depart, for the city is so stunningly beautiful!) and cheer up if you still keep Prague on your journey list and hold on to your guidebooks cherishing the next chance of your flight making it there, where you were meant to be days ago. Prague’s airport started test flight today (19.4.) – as a matter of fact, unsuccessfully but hoping for the better conditions in the next days – we keep our fingers crossed for them. We couldn’t have hoped for a better weather though and the skies couldn’t have been bluer – those “prisoned” in the beauty of Prague can confirm it. Just cutting on sky riding for a while, we suppose…

 

Something new..

web-ps…in a reach of a click can be found about our restaurant Terasa U Zlate Studne, namely – its website with a brand new design. Visit it for a deep insight into the alchemy of the exquisite dining – and make sure you do not miss one!

 

obama_medvedevJust as a matter of keeping you updated on Prague’s hit events news, we would like to let you know that the Palace above the Golden Well hotel will be receiving very special guests again – the US and Russian Presidents B. Obama and D. Medvedev gathering in the Spanish Hall of the Prague Castle for the signing of the Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty.

P.S.: Do you have as great plans this Thursday?

And just as an idle thought, we were wondering whether the choice of dining might yet again fall on the spectacular location and exquisite cuisine of the Terasa u Zlate Studne restaurant… We still feel sorry for missing out the pleasure of accommodating President Obama’s dinner due to his flight’s delay back at the time of his last visit last year and are hoping to yet fulfill his initial intention.
