Exploring the New Urban Art Dreispitz Tour with Artstübli in Basel
For a decade, Artstübli has guided visitors through the streets of Basel to experience graffiti, illustration, and contemporary street art firsthand. Building on its established city excursions, the platform has launched a specialized tour format focusing on the Dreispitz area, offering a fresh perspective on how industrial spaces evolve into open-air canvases.
Discovering Street Art and Industrial History on the Dreispitz Tour
The new route through the Dreispitz-Areal in Basel and Münchenstein highlights the district's ongoing transformation, incorporating its historical context and temporary uses like the railway arch projects. Along the way, participants encounter high-profile works by a diverse group of national and international creators, including Bitnik, Hannah Weinberger, Maja Hürst, Hendrik Beikirch, Jeroen Erosie, and SpY.
Led by knowledgeable guides, these excursions immerse visitors in the mechanics of urban interventions, demonstrating how artists claim territory and adapt to existing architecture. Beyond this new offering, Artstübli continues to run its established city-wide routes in German, French, and English, bridging the gap between central districts and the outer rail lines.
