Alternative Budapest - Street Art and underground movements

A two-hour walk through Budapest's District 7 and nearby streets to decode graffiti, stickers and the underground art scene with a local guide.

Walls, street signs, lamp posts and forgotten corners in downtown Budapest are covered with graffiti, stickers and small urban messages. Local street artists use these surfaces as canvases and their work often says something about the mood of society and about issues that matter around the world. On this two-hour walking tour you slow down and look at the city in a different way. The route leads through District 7 and some of the surrounding areas, while your local guide tells you about street art culture, graffiti movements and the underground forms of expression found on the streets. At first glance it can all look chaotic. Behind it, though, there is meaning, history and a certain structure and the tour helps you understand what you are actually looking at as you walk. Groups are small, so we can adapt the walk to what interests you most. Guests who have taken the tour describe it as informative, fun and thought-provoking, and as suitable for all ages. By the end, every wall, sticker and piece of graffiti may start to tell you a story, and you will probably notice details in Budapest's streets that you would have walked past before. If none of the available dates suit you, you can ask the organiser about arranging another time.
