Graz has some colourful walls to offer that are worth a closer look. The graffiti off the beaten tourist track tell the story of everyday life today. What are the issues, problems, what moves the people of Graz, what annoys them and what makes them laugh? Whether political statements, large-scale works of art, a ‘football sticker war’ or simply cute animals, the city is a large art gallery and playground for creative minds.
In 2025, we are venturing into the west of Graz with a new route. The industrial quarter, railway station quarter and working-class quarter have changed dramatically and are considered the new creative centre of the city. New buildings, new playgrounds, new pubs, new schools and the walls that have been there for a long time have been repainted. A tour of hidden paths, lost places and urban neighbourhoods awaits you. This is about smaller and larger, at least the ‘other’ sights of the city, which are attracting more and more public interest. Some of the symbols and colourful images may seem familiar because they are eye-catching and exciting. Others you walk past every day without really noticing them. This tour is the most up-to-date tour Graz has to offer and deals with contemporary issues and their colourful symbols.
If you wish, we can organise a workshop with the artists of the Raum 117 afterwards, because after the street art tour you will certainly want to try out this art form for yourself. We’ll first get some inspiration and then let your creativity run free, including tips and tricks from the professionals.
