Graffiti street, the most hip photo spot in Ghent

#Popular photo spots The city of Ghent in Belgium is both an old city and a university city, so it has a mix of medieval architecture and hip lifestyles of young people. Werregarenstraatje, a small alley that is a center for graffiti and has become a popular photo spot, is located in the heart of the old city, not far from tourist attractions such as Saint Bavo's Cathedral and Belfort Tower. You can easily walk there. The beginning of this alley came from a festival in 1995, which had a project to paint graffiti on the walls, giving this street the nickname Graffiti Street. Then, this alley was allowed to be a graffiti tolerance zone for young artists to freely show off their skills. All the graffiti on the walls you see are of many types and styles, from the work of beginners to the work of professionals. The highlight of this place is that anyone can freely paint, so the pictures on the walls change all the time. You can visit again and again to see new pictures and take new pictures to post on social media. There is only one rule that is known in the industry when creating new artwork on the walls: you cannot paint over your own better-than-before-seen artwork. It can be said that if you want to draw over someone else's, you have to be quite confident in your own skills. Currently, there are paintings on both sides of the walls all the way to the end of the street, leaving no space at all. In the middle of the alley, there is also an art gallery, selling drinks, snacks, and artsy souvenirs. Go in and take a look. #100TravelTips #EuropeTravel #BelgiumTravel
