Street Art Spring Break v2.0 Europe

Post by halopigg »

This year's Street Art Spring Break brings me to Europe, more specifically Paris, Brussels, Rotterdam, Dusseldorf, and Amsterdam. I am looking for advice on good street art/graffiti spots to see, public transportation, tasty places to eat and drink, and also hotels or hostels. Ballin on a budget as they say so nothing fancy. It will be end of April into early May (City order TBD).

thanks!

I'll see what I can do.

Edit: Looks like a bad idea. (Couldn't find any suitcase airport arrest stories)

Sounds like a plan. I will either spend 2 days in Brussels and I will get to your place Friday April 27th in the morning or I will only spend 1 day there and I will come to your place on Thursday morning. Looks like I won't have to get any hotels in Holland as my buddy is letting me stay at his place in Amsterdam!

Sweet I will try to do that. I may stay with my buddy Benjamin whom I met at a hippie festival a few years ago. He films commercials, makes music, and travels. We meet up at Phish shows when he's in the states, which is fairly often.
