These destinations offer a unique blend of culture, creativity, and community, transforming city streets into open-air galleries.

According to Agoda associate vice-president Jun Dong:  “Art isn’t confined to galleries; it’s alive on the streets, telling stories and expressing the soul of the city. From the vibrant hues of Penang to the eclectic vibes of Taipei, Asia’s street art scene is a testament to the region’s rich cultural tapestry. At Agoda, we believe art should be accessible to everyone, and these neighbourhoods offer a colorful canvas for travelers to enjoy.”
