Street Art Tour of Gdansk – Discover the City of Murals
Explore the colourful side of Gdansk!
Beyond its historic Old Town, Gdansk hides a different artistic world — bold, creative, and full of stories painted on the walls. Join our Street Art Tour of Gdansk and discover the city’s most famous murals in the Zaspa district — one of Europe’s largest open-air galleries. Experience Gdańsk from a new perspective — through art, stories, and colours that bring the city to life.
The Story Behind Gdansk Murals
In the 1970s and 1980s, most Polish housing estates were covered in grey concrete, and Gdansk was no exception. Today, however, the city is bursting with colour. Since 1997, when Gdansk celebrated its millennium, local and international artists have transformed the facades of Zaspa’s apartment blocks into one of the largest outdoor mural collections in Europe.
More than 60 monumental murals tell stories about freedom, solidarity, ecology, and the future — themes deeply connected to the city’s identity. Artists from Poland, Sweden, Spain, Argentina, Brazil, and the USA have all left their mark here.
What You’ll Experience
During this 2-hour guided walk, you’ll learn about the meaning, techniques, and symbolism behind selected works. We’ll also explore the history of the Zaspa district and how street art became part of Gdansk’s cultural DNA.
Prefer cycling? The tour can also be done by bike, which allows you to see even more murals in less time.
