3 Hours

English, Turkish

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!

Joining Simal and Ali at their home was lovely. Very talented people! Learned how to write and design street lettering, plus its various styles. Quite a rush painting a blank wall—watching it come alive. Highly recommend for a truly unique experience.

This is a 100% unique experience. The guys are real street artists. For 2.5 hours we discussed art, talked about each other and painted, painted, painted. That was my birthday—sketched a huge graffiti. One of the best birthday gifts!

Absolutely amazing. Definitely a one of a kind experience. Ali was so hospitable and knowledgeable. Guided us enough to make our artwork look professional but gave us freedom too. I’ll definitely do it again in Istanbul!
