I love street art and like to snap pictures of it wherever I go. Here is some of the best I’ve seen all over the world; from European cities like Barcelona, Paris and Brussels to South American cities like Santiago and Valparaiso. There is also some art from less visited places like Portugal, Uruguay and Mallorca and even my hometown of Detroit, Michigan.
Hint – scroll over the photos to see which city they are from.
Where have you seen the coolest street art?

Barcelona has cool street art. I also appreciate some graffiti. In Toronto I saw a few side walk chalk artists which was pretty cool. Great collection of photos!

Thank you! Sidewalk chalk art is cool as well, it just doesn’t last as long obviously. And I’ll have to check out Toronto soon, it’s been a while!
I love street art! Wonderful collection of pictures!

Thank you, Julika! I’m looking to go to Berlin the next few months to take more street art photos, I’ve heard it’s amazing there.
Wow – I’m always amazed at the talent held by street artists. Can you imagine painting such realistic images on such a large surface? I wouldn’t know where to start. Have you ever been to San Francisco? There are entire alleys (houses included) dedicated to the craft!
I know, it amazes me that street artists have such dedication to work so hard on something that could easily be ruined… but I’m thankful that they take the risk! And SF is by far my favorite city in the world.
This is fantastic. I’m obsessed with street art. Lots of cool street art here in NYC, but always great to see how it compares with street art elsewhere. Love the shots from Valparaiso. ;)

Thank you, Koren! Valparaiso is crazy, there’s so much street art that it’s literally around every corner.
While you’re in Paris, you gotta go to the Republique district and see if this great graf wall is still there. It’s easy to locate, I’ll just need to research and tell you where to find it. I have a picture of it on my FB travel page. It is phenomenal though.
Hey, excellent pics here, by the way.

I love the Republique area, it’s so much fun! Just send it over, I would love to take a look.
I know it is very close to this hostel: http://absolute-paris.com/
I stayed there in 2009 and the graf wall is in between the hostel and the closest Metro stop to it. I tagged your FB page in it just now.

Oh okay cool, I love that area. Thanks!
I love this! (Esp the fish one) It’s always fun to see some street art (not just tags) and I think it’s really interesting when you can see similarities in the styles within regions. I think my favorite street art was a troll that I saw under a bridge in Tokyo. It wasn’t intricate or anything- just kind of in an unexpected place, yet it was so fitting :)

Oh that troll sounds so cool! I kind of collect photos of street art because it’s such a fun and inspiring art form :)
