If you’re searching for things to do in Istanbul that are creative, unique, and immersive, this graffiti art workshop is the perfect way to experience the city’s urban art culture firsthand.
Led by local graffiti artists Peep&Shimo in their own home garden, this experience invites you to explore the history, techniques, and artistic expression of street art. Over a cup of coffee or tea, you’ll hear about how graffiti evolved globally and its growing influence in Turkey. Then, you’ll be introduced to the tools of the trade—spray cans, caps, brushes, and masks—before sketching out your own design under expert guidance.
The real excitement begins when you take your spray can in hand and paint directly onto the wall, creating your own piece of street art. Whether you’re an artist or just curious, you’ll discover how graffiti is not just painting—it’s a voice, a movement, and a way to express yourself.
By the end, you’ll leave with new artistic skills, great friendships, and the incredible feeling of leaving your mark in Istanbul. If you're wondering what is best to do in Istanbul, this is a must-try when you are in Istanbul!

The experience was Awesome!! We had a great time learning and creating a unique graffiti wall that was personal to us. It was a totally unique experience for me and my teenagers to enjoy. They brought out creativity and confidence in my kids that I haven't seen before. Not only were the artist amazing but the scheduling coordinator was great also. We were notified of the need to change our reservation due to weather 24+ hours in advance and were allowed to reschedule for a time that worked for us. We felt well taken care of and we made friends in Turkey. Id 100% recommend this unique experience!!

This was one of the coolest experiences I had in İstanbul. It was much more fun than I had expected. I had never tried street graffiti before. Peep and Shimo are very nice people, they you the designs among which you choose, they help you along the way and there comes your own street graffiti art. I had great time and I really enjoyed the experience and recommend it to anyone :))
