Charge your devices
Bring a fully charged phone or a small power bank—guides pause at each mural so you’ll want battery for multiple shoots.

Expect about 1–1.5 miles of easy walking on sidewalks and occasional street crossings—sturdy shoes keep you steady for framing shots.

Stay on public sidewalks and follow the guide’s directions; many murals are on businesses that require respectful behavior during service hours.
