In some cities, street art is reviled. In Bogotá, Colombia, it’s an increasingly celebrated form of artistic expression, attracting artists from around the world and convincing The Huffington Post to name the city one of the “11 best cities in the world for amazing street art.” Tour operators including Bogota Graffiti Tour offer guided excursions to see some of the most famous works, which are surprisingly varied; in some spots, business owners commission artists to decorate their buildings, while in other cases artists take it upon themselves to bring new life to abandoned or unkempt structures. Even travelers who don’t know much about street art can appreciate the chance to wander lesser-known streets of La Candelaria, the historic city center, where much of the work is concentrated. Indeed, the tour showcases the beauty of Bogotá’s historic architecture as much as the art that graces it. Travelers can also take home original artwork by some of the city’s most famous street artists at DIBS by Culture Shock, a contemporary art gallery downtown.
