Graffiti

Graffiti - as old as the road to Rome and to find throughout the world. An art form that produced famous artists like Keith Haring. In Budapest many, many, graffiti can be found from simple tags on walls, doors, etc. what is pollution or vandalism, till beautiful examples of graffiti art, which deserve a visit.

While most graffiti exists only for a short time, such as the wonderful image on the right, which is repainted at a certain point,graffiti  from 1995 and older, still can be found in Budapest. But most of the gaffiti to find at the present time in Budapest, dates from the period 2007-2012.

Since mid 2010 Julius follows the developments of this art form, knows numerous, often hidden places, and is able to show you places with graffiti art which you will not seen if you visits Budapest as a tourist (and even when you live in Budapest).

Wat you get to see

In this private tour Julius takes you to a number of locations which boast exceptional artistic images of Graffiti Artists. Because this kind of Art often short-lived can be viewed, it is always exciting to see what changes have been effected on the locations.

The most special locations, if possible,  are monitored weekly for changes, but Julius never can guarantee that if you have seen a picture of Graffiti Art on this website, it still exists at the time of your visit.

It is literally and figuratively an adventurously tour, which, at present  time, includes an dilapidated factory complex, with a hall where you can see beautiful (older) Graffiti Art. Also a visit to one of the only official locations in Budapest with Graffiti Art "The Wall of Fame" will be visited. And if there's time, you see Graffiti along a railroad. The Graffiti locations you will visit during the tour, depends of developments of this Art in Budapest and the time you want to spend. Julius knows more than 60 interesting locations, so let you surprise! (photo: TinTin in Budapest on his way to the moon)
