LUXEMBOURGStreetart Luxembourg – Graffiti Bonanza
If you want to have a nice holiday in another country you don´t always have to fly around the whole world. There are heaps of nice places close by, doesn´t matter where you live. For us located in Frankfurt it is just three hours by car to the state of Luxemburg. Ideal for a recreation trip to the Moselle County with visits of numerous castles, fortresses and UNESCO world heritages. First we didn´t find any streetart at all overe there, maybe some little tagging on a tight corner. But we got convinced that there is definitely a lot of awesome streetart, it´s just concentrated on a huge spot. And by accident we found this little streetart goldmine and graffiti bonanza.
