As an art lover I not only take the time to visit galleries in each city but also explore what the local artists are up to in small exhibitions or on the streets! I\u2019ve collected some of my favourite cities for street art, or as some call it graffiti, from around the world.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<h3><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/Melbourne\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Melbourne<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Kicking this off with Melbourne the street art mecca of Australia. One of the cool things about Melbourne is that the art is vibrant and celebrated \u2013 embraced and not erased! It\u2019s not tricky to find whole streets dedicated to some phenomenal pieces of work, both in the city centre and surrounding suburbs. If you\u2019re in Melbourne city centre check out Union Street, Bourke Street and Hosier Lane. Half the fun is finding the streets yourself but if you head to the tourist point you can hop onto a street art walking tour.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7941 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/1_F9YyGyb.jpg\" alt=\"1_F9YyGyb\" width=\"535\" height=\"803\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7942 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/2_pXADp78.jpg\" alt=\"2_pXADp78\" width=\"535\" height=\"535\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/Los-Angeles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">LA<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>From technicolour murals in Venice to the more edgy graffiti Downtown, LA is a city jam-packed with incredible\u00a0street art. The 10 year ban on public murals was lifted a couple of years ago and there\u2019s a sense of creative freedom around the city. Just driving around you\u2019ll spot walls blasted with colour and whole houses wrapped in psychedelic masterpieces, and the best part is you can see it all in the California sunshine! A good place to start is a mural tour in the Arts District \u2013 here you\u2019ll also find hip cafes, restaurants and shops.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7943 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/3_tjFenth.jpg\" alt=\"3_tjFenth\" width=\"535\" height=\"301\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7945 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/4_PyWx6q3.jpg\" alt=\"4_PyWx6q3\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/findabed.php\/ChosenCity.Penang\/ChosenCountry.Malaysia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\"><strong>Georgetown (Penang) \u2013 Malaysia<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Georgetown in Penang is full of surprises! It\u2019s a really arty and cultural town with an arts festival that runs in July and August and a literary festival in November. You\u2019re likely to meet the artists and creative people if you hang out in the local cafes. One of things I loved about Georgetown\u2019s street art is its humour \u2013 You may see a cat hunting on one wall with a mouse hidden just around the corner.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7946 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/5_Y0FxVoC.jpg\" alt=\"5_Y0FxVoC\" width=\"535\" height=\"544\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7947 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/6_w8WHr0P.jpg\" alt=\"6_w8WHr0P\" width=\"535\" height=\"543\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/Christchurch\/New-Zealand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Christchurch \u2013 New Zealand<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After the 2011 earthquake Christchurch is very much a city that is emerging from its damaged past. You\u2019ll still find temporary buildings and pop-up shops and although construction is now underway there\u2019s still a lot of work to be done. So due to the natural disaster Christchurch has become a very interesting city where street artists almost have free reign to decorate the derelict areas. The art around the city adds so much colour and character to a place still mourning their loss.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7948 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/7_tpfX3Hz.jpg\" alt=\"7_tpfX3Hz\" width=\"535\" height=\"357\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7949 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/8_WAkdxgD.jpg\" alt=\"8_WAkdxgD\" width=\"535\" height=\"376\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7950 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/9_fJzkvV6.jpg\" alt=\"9_fJzkvV6\" width=\"535\" height=\"519\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7951 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/10_0Yb5RIS.jpg\" alt=\"10_0Yb5RIS\" width=\"535\" height=\"530\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"article\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<h3><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/Rio-de-Janeiro\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Rio de Janeiro<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s probably not a surprise that a city as colourful as Rio is home to some of the boldest pieces of street art in the world. With its brightly painted buildings and people not afraid to wear tropical colours, the street art looks totally at home. Some of the art that really caught my eye was in one of Rio\u2019s favelas, Rocina. I had to share this view from a Rocinha Hostel! Only head to the favelas on an organised trip or if you\u2019re lucky enough to know a local.

With galleries everywhere and sculptures around every corner (nearly!) it\u2019s an obvious streetart hotspot. Once upon a time Barcelona was Picasso\u2019s home and Dali too and it\u2019s easy to stumble across the huge Lichtenstein sculpture near the harbour Port Vell. The streetart tends to be political and there\u2019s an obvious Banksy stencil-art influence. You definitely get the feeling that anyone can get involved, but it does disappear quickly so make sure you admire it and capture some photos before it\u2019s erased for ever. One way around the removal of streetart is many of the shop fronts metallic barriers are used as a canvas. So when the shops are closed the streets are even more arty!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7959 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/18_jW3Aarr.jpg\" alt=\"18_jW3Aarr\" width=\"535\" height=\"519\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7960 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/19_vRnpSnO.jpg\" alt=\"19_vRnpSnO\" width=\"535\" height=\"521\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7961 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/20_ldCPJEe.jpg\" alt=\"20_ldCPJEe\" width=\"535\" height=\"518\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7962 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/21_XgXMr03.jpg\" alt=\"21_XgXMr03\" width=\"535\" height=\"518\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"article\" style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<h3><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/hostels\/El-Salvador\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">El Salvador<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Head to Ataco in El Salvador for street after street of beautiful almost dreamlike murals.
