For an even deeper dive into the art, take a guided tour with Denver Graffiti Tour, a two-hour stroll past notable works, including details on the artists and their historical context. Local tip: If you want a bit more structure to your mural walkabout, check out RiNo’s own mural map. Walking through the neighborhood, the art stops you in your tracks, the images speaking to the city’s diversity, politics and day-to-day life. Unexpected and ever-changing, the streets and alleys are draped in hundreds of murals covering every sort of surface, from parking lot walls to transformer boxes. Nowhere has street art more transformed a neighborhood in Denver than the one-time-industrial-wasteland-turned-hipster-enclave of RiNo (aka River North Arts District). Admission is free for everyone 18 and under too.
