Most people go to museums and galleries when they want to explore the art scene of new cities, but that’s not the only option. Street art can give you a unique window into the city’s artistic spirit and here are three tips that will have you enjoy it to the fullest.
Perfect Plan
Discovering the street art in the city you’re visiting can be tough if you don’t know where to look, especially if you’re short on time. That’s why it comes in handy to do some research beforehand and apps such as Street Art Cities can come in handy and save you a lot of time.
Street Art Districts
It’s highly unlikely you’ll find a bunch of street art in the city’s old town, but you’ll have much more luck if you visit one of its offbeat and grungy neighborhoods. Target the districts that are popular with street artists because you’ll find a bunch of amazing murals and graffiti in one place.
Look Around
If you want your street art journey to be more spontaneous, just walk around the city and pay attention. It’s a great way to discover street art that might not be so popular or get a sneak peek of some brand-new murals that haven’t been around for long enough to become a huge hit with the tourists.
