Tip: when you spot a signature or crew name, search it on this wiki—many artists appear in multiple cities and countries.

For the best finds, visit in daylight, look up (rooftop-scale murals hide in plain sight), and treat every piece as temporary—fresh paint can erase a classic overnight.

If you’re exploring street art in Gothenburg, start with the areas where walls change fast: train corridors, underpasses, industrial edges, and the neighborhoods that host legal mural programs.
