Wroclaw is the European Capital of Culture in 2016 and it’s easy to see why – it has centuries of frantic history, masses of festivals and in recent years a street art explosion.

A decade ago, a few illegal graffiti projects so impressed the authorities with their artistry that the city embraced the idea and opened up sections of unused walls for grabs to the design they liked most.

In 2014, the city now has masses of vast surreal and intelligent murals that make walking around back alleys and boulevards alike a delight.
