Visiting Bristol is like browsing an outdoor urban gallery. Roaming the streets here you will find it difficult not to come across state-of-the-art graffiti adorning the city walls – boldly displayed in narrow passageways, backstreets or on buildings – depicting wry humor and subversive images of pop-culture. Bristol is also where one of the greatest enigmas of recent times – Banksy – hails from. This quasi-anonymous home-grown graffiti artist extraordinaire, world famous for his satirical and thought-provoking street paintings with underlying social commentary, sometimes combined with slogans, has inspired a new generation to take to the streets to create innovative and dynamic art. Among Banksy's iconic pieces, still available for viewing free of charge, there are: Girl With a Pierced Eardrum – one of his latest creations in Bristol, dated 2014; Well Hung Lover – Britain's first ever legal piece of street art from the 1990s; Queen Ziggy – appeared in time for Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012; and more.

Bristol - home to Banksy? Bristolians certainly claim him as their own and the city proudly boasts a number of his artworks / graffiti (you decide which). But it's not only Banksy who has contributed to the city's colourful street scenes. You can find walking tours to discover many of them for yourself.
