Graffiti Street

The Graffiti Street

The Ghent audio-guided tour takes you to the Graffiti Street, the Werregarenstraatje, a lane entirely dedicated to street art, where creativity expresses itself in complete freedom.

A free street dedicated to urban art

In Ghent, street art is omnipresent and the Flemish city, open and in tune with its time, has gradually grown fond of it. One comes across works of renowned Belgian artists, such as Roa or Bué the Warrior, but also those of anonymous people: the Graffiti Street, or Werregarenstraatje, is indeed a free zone where everyone can let their artistic side speak. The walls of this pedestrian lane, repainted ceaselessly, unfold a palette of colours in perpetual renewal, making the place an open-air gallery always different. It is one of the symbols of the creative vitality and the open spirit of Ghent.

What there is to see

The Graffiti Street offers a festival of colours and motifs, which changes according to the passages of the artists. It is the ideal place to immerse oneself in the urban culture of Ghent, photograph ephemeral works or simply marvel at so much creativity. A lively and surprising stop, a stone's throw from the great monuments of the city.
