Description

Every day we walk past a secret language that every modern city has become fluent in. Whether you are new to graffiti, or simply new to the Dublin scene, our tour is the perfect place to get to know the local talent. As far back as human beings have had walls to draw on, we’ve been doing it. From cave-painters to street-taggers, Graffiti has a universal attraction and a long love-hate story with city officials. Come delve into the details of Dublin’s graffiti scene and find out just how fuzzy the line can be between the legal murals and ‘illegal’ graffiti that color the Hibernian Metropolis.
