Make sure you check out a live country band while you are there. When my brother and I were there, there was a really excellent country tune on the radio that was all in czech but had a really good country yodel section in it. It was a hybrid form of music. Half Czech, half american bluegrass.
Oh, and on the Lennon grafitti wall, my brother wrote a note (near the middle) that said - "American Beer is better." He figured it would be controversial enough that it would ellicit many responses. He hopes to go back someday and check up on that. If you go, look for it.

What is the Lennon Graphic Wall- Sumogirl? Anyone? Anyone know what else it says on it?

When John Lennon died, some artists in Prague created a memorial wall for him. There is art work and grafitti and messages. It is off one of the bridges and definitely worth seeing. It says all sorts of things as it has been added to by thousands and covers the entire wall and not just a subportion.

Yes, the Lennon Wall is just off Charles Bridge on the north side of the river. Turn left immediately after crossing the bridge and walk on the riverside about 200 metres. It has a big picture of J. Lennons face surrounded by graffiti from people all around the world.
