There is something about murals in a city that really intrigues me and that I find so fun! Therefore, I always find myself mural hunting, especially for those instagrammable ones. So, if you are heading to Raleigh, North Carolina, and love photo-worthy murals as much as I do, here are some of the best murals around Raleigh!

I Believe in Raleigh Mural

What better photo-worthy mural to visit than the I Believe in Raleigh mural! Located in North Raleigh, this fun mural is actually a part of the Sola Coffee Cafe. So, if you are also hungry, this is a great place to be, as they are known to have amazing donuts, among tons of other great bites. The I Believe Mural is also considered a historical landmark in Raleigh, cool right?! The Cafe is open from 7 AM – 3 PM Monday-Saturday, however, you can always go and visit the mural! Additionally, they also have this cool old fire truck in front too!

Murals in Midtown East Raleigh

The Midtown East Raleigh shopping center has tons of murals all around it. My favorite is the mural of hands in the shape of a heart! The mural is in the parking lot on the side of a restaurant, so it is best to get there during the week or earlier in the morning if you are looking for that insta-worthy photo. On the other side of the parking lot, you will find another cool mural of what looks like people going up the stairs.

All Are Welcome Raleigh Mural

You can’t go to Downtown Raleigh without also seeing The All Are Welcome Raleigh Mural! This mural is was originally painted in 2015 by artist Luke Buchanan considered the unofficial welcome sign of downtown Raleigh! For some reason, Raleigh has decided to put a lot of their awesome murals in parking lots. I mean, I get it, but if you are looking to take photos of these murals, it is best to either come early or when the restaurant or store is closed. The All are Welcome Mural is located in the Pooles Pies parking lot, and the mural was loved so much, the artist was welcomed back in 2019 to refresh the mural.

While you are in downtown Raleigh, it is almost imperative you take a stroll or drive down Glenwood South Ave. In general, it is a pretty lively area full of restaurants, bars, and Sprinkles the Bobcat. This glamorous cat is arguably the most unique and also the best mural in Raleigh! Again, Sprinkles is in a parking lot, so plan accordingly.
