Beautiful, political, remarkable, whatever you call it, "street art" can be found just about everywhere these days. Like modern day cave drawings these works are popping up on everything from garage doors to whole buildings, so we asked the membership of travel website Trippy.com to tell us where they've found the best street art in the world.

1. San Francisco, California - "There are murals year round with new ones popping up all the time. The Mission District, SOMA, andTenderloin might just have the most. Check em out online. There are even Mural Tours in the Mission." From Trippy member Seoulsfgirl :) of San Francisco, California

2. Berlin, Germany - "The East Side Gallery of the Berlin Wall is a must-see, and you'll find tons just wandering around the neighborhood Kreuzberg. Be sure to check out some of the artists' squats such as Köpi for crazy street art!" From Trippy member MacKenzie Abernethy of Providence, Rhode Island

3. Bogota, Colombia - "I recommend the La Candelaria district in Bogota for some Colombian street art. It is the historic part of the city so the art on the old architecture is awesome. For an inexpensive place to stay, you could try Casa Platypus." From Trippy member Michael Emmanuel if Chicago, Illinois

4. Lisbon, Portugal - "Personally loved Lisbon for its street art and graffiti - check out theGaleria de Arta Urbana (wall of street art graffiti) where you can see the latest pieces by the city's most beloved street artists. Make sure to also snap a photo by the graffiti-covered yellow trams, a favorite among visiting tourists." From Trippy member Alisha Miranda of New York, New York

10. Athens, Greece - "Maybe not the best - but certainly mentionable is Athens, particularly Monastiraki I wish I had more to say about it except that you'll find huge building-sized murals on every corner. There's a dilapidated style to Athens, and the street art, when it's not just graffiti, makes it all feel more alive." From Trippy member Nathaniel Boyle of Boston, Massachusetts
