Prague, Czech Republic: Lennon Wall

If you doubt that the Beatles appealed to all corners of the glove, consider the location of the Lennon Wall. It's in Prague, which was on the other side of the Iron Curtain during the time of the Beatles' peak popularity.

Early in the 1980s, it became a place for messages about peace and love and quotes from his music. By 1988, the wall angered Communist officials, who called the students who left messages such things as alcoholics and agents of Western capitalism.

New paintings are added to the wall every so often, so this tourist attraction is usually fresh upon repeat visits. The paint must be pretty thick by now.
