„Les Puces de Nice“ or „The Flea Market of Nice“ is located near the harbor Port Lympia and offers an interesting collection of antiques, art objects, vintage clothing and treasures that can be found in several small boutiques and shops. This alone is worth seeing, but apart from the market, the exterior facades and the walls in the alleyways between the stores are also a small urban art collection with works by great artists.

In Belgrade between the streets Takovska, Vojvode Dobrnjca and Bulevar Despota Stefana, there is a large backyard with a parking lot and a recreation area for residents. Basically, it is a large concreted space with a few benches. Not necessarily nice for relaxing, but ideal for colorful art on the wall. And there is plenty of it here, from characters to numerous graffiti. Especially the artist METOD, who is from around that neighborhood, has painted several fantastic concept scenarios.

From Rue de Villeneuve in the north of Nice, a single-lane road tunnel runs under the main train station to Avenue Durante in the south, the „Tunnel de la Gare“. Cars drive through it, but there is also a cycle lane and a walkway. For many years, pedestrians tended to avoid the tunnel because it was a dark and scary passageway, especially at night and it’s generally a bit weird around a central station anyway. But a little color and creativity could change that. The great local artist OTOM was commissioned by the City of Nice in spring of 2020 to create a mural throughout that tunnel and he developed a special concept for this named „Regards“.

On the cycle path on the Mainkai in Offenbach there is a half-ruined wall, in some places more complete, in other places partially crumbled. The jagged, ruinous surfaces offer an interesting underground for graffiti and urban art, with an industrial, crumbling charm. The wall begins at the level of the Hafengarten in the east and runs till the Walter Spiller Bridge. Regularly great graffiti jams and spray sessions take place at this spot. Check out the huge archive!
