Fans of gothic and baroque architecture will feel right at home in Prague, but you won’t be disappointed by this city if you’re looking for something a little bit quirkier. Unique attractions are scattered all around the Czech capital, and these three are truly bursting with color.

Lennon Wall

Lennon Wall stands in stark contrast to Prague’s classic architecture, but that’s not stopping it from being one of the city’s top attractions. This colorful wall started taking shape in the ’80s and it’s now covered with John Lennon-inspired graffiti, the Beatles’ lyrics, and other messages related to social causes.

Golden Lane

This tiny street in Prague was named after goldsmiths who lived here in the 17th century, and it was once home to writers Franz Kafka and Jaroslav Seifert. Surprisingly enough, this isn’t what this street is best known for—its colorful houses, painted during the 50s, give it a special charm.

Jubilee Synagogue

Jubilee Synagogue, also known as Jerusalem Synagogue stands in stark contrast to many of Prague’s most recognizable buildings thanks to its unique style. It was inspired by elements of Moorish Revival and Art Nouveau, and its colorful façade with horseshoe arches is impossible to miss.
