Bayreuth is a great destination when it comes to street art and urban art. Find out more on this guided tour.
It is widely known that, with the Richard Wagner Festival, two world-class opera houses, numerous other international festivals and its fairytale palaces and parks, Bayreuth is among the very best when it comes to art, music and culture.
But what few people know is that our city also has plenty to offer you when it comes to urban art, or art in public spaces.
