Street art allows you to discover the art scene of new cities in the most authentic and affordable way possible. If you ever find yourself in São Paulo, craving to explore the street art wonders of this Brazilian metropolis, you should immediately head to the charming district Beco do Batman.

This fascinating alleyway is nestled in the heart of São Paulo’s Vila Madalena neighborhood, and its name can literally be translated as Batman’s Alley. It didn’t get this name because it’s as scary as the streets of Gotham—Beco do Batman is actually one of the city’s most vibrant attractions and a lone Batman graffiti was the one that started it all.

This graffiti was painted all the way back in the ’80s, and Beco do Batman ended up transforming into an ever-evolving open-air gallery in the year to come, where different colors, patterns, and styles exist in perfect harmony.

Local and international artists painted countless murals and graffiti across the walls of Beco do Batman, and they’re showing no signs of stopping. New art is constantly popping up on the streets of this lively district, which perfectly captures the dynamic spirit of São Paulo, standing as a timeless testament to its diverse artistic heritage.

Some of the world’s most vibrant and impactful art doesn’t require a visit to a museum or a gallery. Street art is not only a form of creative expression but also a way to comment on political or societal issues. These 5 cities are known for their urban art scenes.

Buenos Aires, Argentina

The Argentine capital of Buenos Aires is home to some of the world’s most thought-provoking street art. Throughout neighborhoods like Palermo, Villa Crespo, San Telmo you can find murals and stencils about everything from political messages to lighthearted jokes.

Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne is known for its labyrinth of colorful “graffiti laneways”. Street artists from all around the world have left their marks in the city’s passageways, such as Hosier Lane, Union Lane, ACDC Lane, and Croft Alley.

Berlin, Germany

The street art scene in Berlin goes way beyond the graffiti-covered remains of the Berlin Wall. Urban art covers the entire German capital from the historic center of Mitte to the lively district of Kreuzberg.

Montreal, Canada

Every year in June, Montreal hosts an 11-day Mural Festival, which attracts prominent street artists from all over. Moreover, the local arts community produced its own work throughout the year. Take a stroll down Saint-Laurent Boulevard to enjoy some of the city’s best outdoor displays.

Valparaiso, Chile

Most art lovers can’t resist checking out popular art museums in each new city they visit, but it’s unfortunate that too many come with expensive entrance fees. However, if you’re on a tight budget, there are many more affordable ways to explore the art scene of a new city.

Street Art

Street art is basically an art gallery you can visit free of charge, and you can find it everywhere you go. Pay extra close attention when walking around the city, and you’ll discover many amazing works by local artists that feel more authentic than anything you’ll find at big museums.

Small Galleries

While roaming around the city you’re visiting, you’ll also notice many tiny galleries scattered all around it. Most of them can be visited free of charge, and you’ll only end up spending money if you decide to buy works by local artists.

Free Museum Visits

Tickets for leading museums can be pretty expensive, but there are ways to save on them. Check if the museum you’re planning to visit offers free visits on certain days. Even if that’s not the case, you can save money by buying a museum card that covers several major museums.

Most city centers in the West are somewhat divided into neighborhoods, each having its own history, architecture, and unique character. Some of us like finding ourselves in neighborhoods that are just out of the mainstream, seeing the local quirky crowd, and learning about the local fringe or sub-culture. There are a few little tips to help you discover where to go to get that fringe vibe.

Follow the Music

One of the best ways to find the right neighborhood to learn about a local community is through live gigs. Whether online or on notice boards, look for live gigs of bands you’ve never heard of. Pay attention to the terms in their posters to get an idea of their age and vibe.

Thrift, Vintage, or Second Hand

Thrift shops are a great indicator of the local crowd, specifically the local kind that doesn’t have a central sorting center that spreads the merchandise to different branches. Pop in to see the style the locals grew out of, and the price tags attached to the discarded items. If the shops are vintage and priced like designer apparel, this area isn’t quite what you are looking for.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8APChOHOGP/

The Walls

A quick and easy “test” of a neighborhood is the state of its walls. Are they clean? Are they covered in posters, graffiti, or commissioned murals? Look at what the art has to say as well, it will tell you who made and why!

São Paulo attracts travelers from all around the world for all sorts of different reasons, and it’s a true paradise for art lovers. You don’t even have to pay for a museum ticket to enjoy its many masterpieces, because its streets are covered with amazing graffiti art.

Vila Madalena

This retro bohemian district is filled with trendy restaurants and bars, but most people come here for one reason – street art. We wouldn’t judge you if you spent hours exploring its colorful streets, and admiring works of art its walls are covered with.

Beco do Batman

This narrow alley is a part of Vila Madalena neighborhood, and its graffiti walls are one of São Paulo’s most Instagram-friendly spots. Make sure to check out Escadaria do Patapio while you’re there since it’s only a few minutes away and just as equally impressive.

Granada is a Spanish gem, the capital city of the province of Granada, in the autonomous community of Andalusia. It is located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada mountains, where four rivers, the Darro, the Genil, The Monachil and the Beiro meets. Besides the near seaside, there are many more amazing reasons why to visit this beautiful Andalusian city:

The Alhambra and The Generalife Gardens

The stunning Alhambra is a world-famous palace and fortress complex built in the 9th and rebuilt in the 14th century by the Nasrid emir Mohammed ben Al-Ahmar of the Emirate of Granada, who built its current palace and walls and is a must-see during your Granada visit. The Generalife Gardens are located outside the fortress and it looks the way we would imagine paradise. The best time to visit is spring when everything is in blossom.

Sacromonte

Sacramonte is a famous gypsy neighborhood located on the hill and valley of Valparaíso. The local gypsies have been living here since 1492, after the Christian conquest. This picturesque quarter with its whitewashed caves carved into the hillside is definitely Granada’s most beautiful neighborhoods.

Street art

Realejo, the former Jewish quarter became an art gallery all thanks to the creative mind of a famous local artist Raúl Ruiz. Ruiz, also known as El Niño de las Pinturas with his cans of spray-paint revived the old, boring building facades constituting a world known famous art.
