In recent years, street-art has begun spreading like wildfire through Istanbul’s winding alleyways and backstreets. Some of the best pieces are hidden gems, however, and are only stumbled upon when lost. If you’re interested in a more efficient way of viewing Istanbul’s best street-art, get the Street Art Istanbul App!
The app has pinpointed some of the best pieces mostly around Galata, Karaköy, and Kadıköy. If you have a smartphone, you can roam around with the app and when you reach a work, you can also read about the artist, the neighborhood you’re in, and what else there is to do and see around you.
Alternatively, if you don’t have a smartphone, soon there will be an online map you can print out and take with you! Check out their website for more information and like them on Facebook!
