Street art has the power to capture the rich cultural scene of each new city you’re visiting, and you can find it pretty much everywhere you go. If you’re not sure where to look, here are three useful tips and tricks that will help you explore the street art scene of new cities.
Do Your Research
You’ll likely discover a lot of great street art accidentally, but doing your research is always a good idea. Try to look for popular street art districts online before heading to your destination, or consider joining one of the local walking tours dedicated to street art if available.
Visit Right Neighborhoods
Street art can be scattered all around the city you’re visiting, but it’s most likely you’ll find it if you visit certain neighborhoods known for their street art. Instead of hoping you’ll stumble upon an amazing mural in the old town, try visiting vibrant districts and streets that are famous for their street art.
Roam Around
Even if you do your research and know where to look, there’s still a lot of great street art waiting to be discovered as you go along. Wander off the beaten path and stay open to new places because you’ll likely stumble upon a lot of great street art while simply roaming around.
