Detailed itinerary
1
Our Street Art Bike Tour starts at the Eigelstein City Gate, a part of the old medieval city wall surrounding Cologne. From here we make our way through the little streets of the neighborhood towards our first street art spots!
2
One of Cologne's nightlife districts in the inner city is our first destination on this tour. Your local guide fills you in on history, culture and shows you some hidden art treasures along the way!
3
One of Cologne's most popular squares and street art hot spots in the heart of the Belgian quarter: Brüsseler Platz.
We leave the buzzing city center behind and make our way to the Belgian quarter. The diversity of street art pieces is immense! You'll find big murals, small stickers, tiles, paste ups, sculptures and lots more.
4
This hip, multi-cultural quarter of Cologne with colorful street art pieces is definitely a MUST SEE on our tour!
We cycle through the green belt - THE biggest park of Cologne - and continue to the heart of Ehrenfeld.
Many international and local artists have left their traces in this cool district. We are going on a street art expedition and find out all about the colorful artworks! Which is going to be your favorite?
5
After seeing all that art work, it is definitely difficult to decide for one favorite piece or artist! The Banana Sprayer? Captain Borderline? Or rather one of the artists putting up small tiles, paste ups or stencils?
As we ride through the green belt and past the Media Park, which you may already recognize from one of the large murals, you can let all the impressions sink in for a while.
And, we are back at the Eigelstein with lots of new memories!
