MONTENEGROBudva – Hide Spray Wall – Graffiti Hall – Highway Open Air Gallery
At the eastern entrance to Budva, the mountain road leads into the city; it’s supported by tall concrete walls and built right up against the mountain. On the ground floor level below this creates a fairly long good surface and an ideal spot for graffiti. You can find it easily located behind the Hide Club. It’s not an official “Hall of Fame” or a legal wall, but quite a few artists have already left their mark here, and it has become a great collection of many pieces.

Budva’s Old Town, known locally as Stari Grad, is situated on a small peninsula along Montenegro’s Adriatic coast. Its history dates back more than 2.500 years.

Its interior is particularly impressive, with an almost overwhelming visual world: golden backgrounds, depictions of saints, biblical narratives and historical figures cover the walls, columns, vaults and domes. From an artistic perspective, the cathedral is especially fascinating because it combines centuries-old Orthodox visual traditions with contemporary political and social statements.
