The John Lennon Wall on Kampa Island is Prague's most photographed graffiti spot, but after 9am it becomes a selfie-stick nightmare. Tour groups queue up for identical shots while street performers add to the chaos.

Hit it by 7:30am and you'll have this colorful tribute wall mostly to yourself. The morning light makes the ever-changing street art pop against the medieval stonework — Much better than harsh midday sun. Walk there via Charles Bridge (10 minutes from Old Town Square) and take the stairs down to Kampa Island.

The real magic happens when it's quiet. You can actually read the messages, appreciate how the art evolves, and understand why this became a symbol of free expression during communist times. Grab coffee at nearby Café Kampa (opens 8am) and watch the Vltava wake up.

Pro film tip: The texture contrast between ancient wall and fresh paint creates incredible depth in photos. No crowds means you can experiment with angles without someone photobombing.
