What is the story behind the murals scattered throughout the city? Sadness, protest, storm of emotions or the need to express yourself in the public space! What is the difference between graffiti and street art?!
Graffiti tours can be booked any day of the week including Saturday. The tours take place in Florentin, Kiryat Al-Malakha and the Nachalat Binyamin area.
You can book tours in Hebrew and English.
The shock of October 7 also caught the street and graffiti artists, and the murals were slow to arrive. But then, the streets were filled with the names of the murdered, paintings of heroes, the story of the abductees and more.
The colorful walls of the houses on the streets of the Florentine neighborhood and the area of Nachalat Binyamin Street tell the story of many artists.
But the graffiti can be found in almost every corner of the city and not only on the walls: on sidewalks, benches, electricity poles and more. You just have to travel and open your eyes.
Graffiti, from the word graphic – and it does begin with large, colorful letters that are not always easy to understand what is behind them, but usually when the word graffiti is used, they are talking about paintings, stickers, embroidery, knitting, plaster casts, beads and more.
How do you distinguish between graffiti that is a protest and an invited mural? It seems to me that it is almost impossible to get confused. Want to try?
Throughout the city you can find colorful and designed benches, many of them invited and approved by the municipality, sometimes you can find some that are without permission.
how do you know Feel free to try to guess.
Creating graffiti in the urban space
True, graffiti is illegal, but let’s face it – when was the last time you opened a book of poems and read for fun? You can walk around the city and just read poems.
The Florentine neighborhood was for many years a fringe neighborhood of the city of Tel Aviv. For over 3 decades now, it has characterized itself as a transitional neighborhood for those who desire the big city. The small streets where the old tailors and carpenters are located, as well as the main streets and the residences in them have turned the walls into walls of numbers. On a tour of the neighborhood we can discover an endless variety of graffiti and street art that renews and changes non-stop.
Nachalat Binyamin Pedestrian Street and the streets adjacent to it are a great artistic celebration. On Tuesdays and Fridays, the famous artists’ market is held on the street, but every day and every hour you can be impressed by graffiti and street art galore. During the trip, your eyes open and you won’t believe what you can find.
A graffiti tour on Saturday is highly recommended. The noise of the city calms down and the busy streets are more pleasant. Now you can take a leisurely stroll and discover the street art from its silence.
Nice to meet you , we are two: Tel Aviv-Yafo, the city that has a magic on me, and I am Michal, a certified road teacher who lives and breathes the city non-stop.
Every day I take people with me to walk with the pulse of the city, discover it, experience it and be excited.
On tours we travel between known corners and hidden corners, between reality and dream, between pleasure and value, every corner and its story, every tour and its grace.
