NORWAY: Streetart Bergen – Murals, Graffiti and Urban Art Collection

Bergen is with 290.000 inhabitants Norway’s second largest city and is located on the west coast of the country. The historic Hanseatic quarter of Bryggen with its colorful wooden houses, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is particularly worth seeing, as well the lively fish market, the Bergenhus Fortress or the viewing platform on Fløyen with the Fløibanen funicular.

GREECE: Urbex Nafplio – Old Abandoned Myloi Train Station – Lost Place Graffiti

The abandoned Myloi train station is located in the Argolis region of the Peloponnese, not far from the city of Nafplio. It was opened around 1886 as part of the expansion of the Peloponnesian narrow-gauge railway network. With the progressive decline of regional rail traffic from the 1970s onwards, the station increasingly lost its importance and the operations were finally discontinued in the early 2000s. Since then, the site has been considered a “lost place”. Particularly striking are the stationary, partly heavily weathered carriages and locomotives that still stand on the tracks, also numerous graffiti cover the walls and parked vehicles.
