Graffiti Wall

In Antwerp, you’ll find an abundance of street art, and our favourite spot is located in Zurenborg. There, you’ll find a street with no less than 4,000 meters of graffiti. It’s approximately a 10-minute walk from Antwerp-Berchem Station. You start at Minkelersstraat and walk along to Krugerstraat.

What makes this location special is the annual Meeting of Styles event. During this event, various international and national artists transform the walls into an explosion of colour and creativity, turning the street into a vibrant canvas that mirrors the rich diversity of street art culture.

You can stroll along the vast murals and let yourself be swept away on a journey through the artists’ imagination and expression, giving the street a fresh and inspiring atmosphere year after year.
