Alternative Bucharest: Free Tour of Street Art

Over 30 years ago, Bucharest was a gray city, where writing on a wall could get you in trouble. Following the fall of communism, the city was transformed into a European destination for graffiti artists. From just a meeting point for illegal graffers, the area around Romana Square became the venue for some of the most colorful and creative street art. With new colorful murals each year, Bucharest became one of the most surprising and refreshing destinations for graffiti and street art lovers in Europe. Yet the exact location of each great mural and the sources of inspiration may remain a mystery to many visitors. Discover the hidden art pieces that provide perfect backgrounds for amateur fashion selfies and professional photo shootings alike. Find the link between “vandal” writings and the elaborated mural paintings, and discover the historical and mystical influences of Romanian street artists. This tour will be an eye-opener not just when it comes to exploring Bucharest, but also a way to get a real insight into Romanian culture, society, and art.
