Downtown Raleigh Murals and Public Art Tour

The Downtown Raleigh Murals and Public Art Tour is a guided walking route that introduces visitors to the city's largest outdoor masterpieces and hidden street art. Led by local guides, the tour offers two different routes that dive into the inspiration and artists behind Raleigh's colorful walls. This tour is best suited for teenagers and older children who can comfortably handle ninety minutes of walking. While there is no set ticket price, the tour operates on a pay-what-you-want model, so plan to bring cash to tip your guide. Wear comfortable walking shoes, pack water bottles, and bring a stroller if you are bringing younger siblings along. It makes a smart weekend outing because it gets everyone outside and moving while showing you parts of the city you usually drive right past. Plus, the colorful backdrops are perfect for updating your teen's profile picture or capturing a quick group photo.
