We have worked our hardest to provide you with a<br />
comprehensive guide to all things urban—the best spot<br />

galleries to see some of the top artists around today, and<br />
some of the trendiest/cheapest/just plain good places to<br />
eat and drink.<br />
Everyone has a different idea of what urban actually<br />
means, but we are confident that this map is the best<br />
guide to our city available today. And we know what we‘re<br />
talking about. For almost 4 years INOPERAbLE has been<br />
dedicated to showing the best the „urban art world“ has<br />

art movement is more than just a trend and that it will<br />
continue to have a huge impact.<br />
