Bucharest

One of the prettiest corners of central Bucharest, where the walls are covered in vivid murals. Everyone comes to photograph the graffiti and soak up the colour – an easy, free stop on a city-centre wander.

Built in the roaring 1920s as a car garage, this landmark now stands as a weathered industrial-heritage site and open canvas for Bucharest’s best-known graffiti and street artists. A must for urban-art fans – bring a camera, and note access has at times been restricted.
