Top Amsterdam street art spots
Graffiti & street art in Amsterdam – you can find it in the following six areas:
Like New York and Berlin – Amsterdam very "convenient" city for tourists, as most of the interesting sites in it are within walking distance of each other, or a short drive by public transport. Amsterdam's magnificent water canals, unique squares and streets, the city's young atmosphere along with fascinating contrasts between old and new, make it a city that provides a unique experience like you will not find in any other city in Europe.

Top Hidden Gems In Amsterdam
- Exposed to street art & graffiti in the different neighborhoods
- Street art is displayed both on the map and in the list
- Discover the most interesting neighborhoods in the city (street art wize)
- Add your favorite street art to the city route you planned in advance
- Use the street art map (Google Map) as the navigation map for all other attractions
Graffiti and street art are a changing and dynamic – the appearance of an art work on the map, does not prove that the work still exists, and has not been disrupted/removed/deleted.
The maps contain about 50% of the art works in those neighborhoods – so you always have more to discover by yourself…

NSDM – From an old shipyard to a cultural metropolitan square
From the 1920s to the 1980s, the NDSM wharf in Amsterdam was one of the largest shipyards in the world, regularly launching huge tankers from its wharves. Once this activity ceased, the spacious location and impressive scenery it creates, became a "home port" for music, art and other cultural events. The area hosts multidisciplinary festivals, performances, exhibitions, dance parties and a wide range of events in a unique post-industrial environment.
In the video I Took for you, you can see a glimpse of the NSDM complex and the unique STRAAT museum.

Bijlmer and Bullewijk are two close neighborhoods in southeastern Amsterdam and Zuidoost.These are two green and open neighborhoods. A kind of community integration in the atmosphere of a large urban park, combined with urban construction with hundreds of apartments in each block.
In May 2019, the Amsterdam Street Art Foundation organized a street art festival called "If Walls Could Speak". During the project, 10 huge and spectacular murals were created along housing blocks in East Amsterdam. Leading street artists were selected for the unique project and the only instruction they received was to create around the theme of "Amsterdam for Everyone.
