The hotspots of urban art
Overview

Hint
Intro
Basel offers a wide variety of art and urban discoveries in the public arena.
To see the works of national and international graffiti artists and street art performers, it is best to follow the railway lines from the main station eastward to Schwarzwaldbrücke or stroll around the city centre. The book “Street Art Basel“ by Kai Hendrik Schlusche is a good way to start exploring the most important art works on one’s own.
For those who prefer to see the works in the company of artists and experts, Artstübli – the platform and gallery for urban art and culture – will arrange authentic graffiti and street art tours on request. For about 1 ½ to 2 hours, the Basel Line, Harbor- or the Basel City Tour will visit amazing paintings created with different techniques. The former tour explores the famous railway line on the outskirts of Basel where sprayers have been active for decades. The entire area around this railway line is one gigantic graffiti museum. It has to be seen to be believed. The Harbor- and Basel City Tour, on the other hand, introduces national and international street art and its performers.
