The murals are in the meatpacking district, the harbour blocks and the ex-industrial fringes, and they change faster than any guidebook. These 4 walks are priced and clear about how far they range from the centre.
At MACA Museum in Copenhagen, explore Banksy’s early drawings, stencils, photographs, and paintings, plus work by Futura 2000, Lady Pink, Shepard Fairey, STIK, and others. Your one-day ticket includes every exhibition, multilingual audio guides, and coat and bag storage.
“Gillade både utställningen och lokalen - saknade bara ett glas vin!”
Walk Aarhus with art guide Marina, or a multilingual colleague, from Dokk1 and the harbour through the Latin Quarter, creative rooftop spaces, an old industrial art venue, City Hall, and a celebrated viewpoint. Expect a small group of up to 10, cultural stories, and about two hours on foot.
“The guide‘s deep knowledge of, and interest in art and the history of Aarhus. Lot‘s of fun facts and quirks about places and buildings in the city. 5/5 very entertaining.”
Meet your English-speaking guide at Gabels Torv at 11:00 a.m. for a three-hour walk through Aalborg’s streets, courtyards, and squares. You’ll see major murals created since 2013, hear stories about international and local artists, and finish back at the starting point.
“En fantastisk tur, hvor man kommer på opdagelse i Aalborgs baggårde, store pladser og bliver ført godt igennem streetart-historien i Aalborg. Vildt inspirerende at se både de internationale kunstnere og de lokales historier på gavlene i Aalborg. Kan varmt anbefales☀️”
Explore MACA Museum’s Banksy and Street Art: The Early Years exhibition in Copenhagen. Expect Banksy’s work and background, plus pieces by major artists including Warhol, Basquiat, RETNA, KAWS, Hirst, and Murakami. The visit takes about 45 minutes to an hour and includes a mobile ticket.
“Overall it was good but there was lots of reading about the art work. Stairs up and down to see the exhibition.”
Pick a canal, a castle or a bakery.
