Find Salt Lake City Murals Using Google Maps

Although I was able to visit a few murals while in Salt Lake City, there are hundreds more and another creator – @slsees & @courtneyincolor – have already put together an incredible Google map of different murals around town. This map was published back in 2022, and I’m not sure if he updates it regularly, but it’s an awesome way to find a few murals around town to snap photos of during your visit!

If you use the Mural Map to find a mural, tag your photos with #slcmuralmap!

Tips for Visiting the Salt Lake City Murals

  1. Wear comfy shoes – although a lot of these spots are quick visits where you’ll just be hopping out of the car, snapping a photo, and moving on, you’ll still be on your feet quite a bit.
  2. Bring a tripod – if you’re traveling solo (or in a group) and want to be in the photo, there are a couple of murals that are great for setting up a tripod and getting those photos. I use a very affordable UBeesize 62″ Tripod that fits in my backpack and I love it.
  3. Bring water – whether you’re directly out in the sun or getting in and out of the air-conditioned car, you’ll want to have water on hand to stay hydrated throughout your tour. It may take a while.
  4. Park Appropriately – I know some of these are difficult to get and park in a good, safe spot, but be cognizant not to stop the flow of traffic, block driveways, or delivery lanes.
  5. Always tag the artists if you can – some of the pieces have artist tags painted right on them, others were more difficult to find and some I couldn’t find at all, but when possible, give credit where credit is due!

Why You Should Explore Salt Lake City Murals

Street art has a way of telling a city’s story—sometimes loud and bold, other times quiet and unexpected. What I loved most about the Salt Lake City murals I came across is that they added energy, color, and surprise to spaces that might otherwise go unnoticed. Whether you’re walking between coffee shops downtown, exploring neighborhoods like Granary or Sugar House, or simply out for a drive, murals pop up in the most unexpected places.

Unlike traditional art galleries, these pieces are open to everyone. You don’t need a ticket or a tour guide—just a bit of curiosity and maybe your phone for photos. They’re also a great way to support local artists and see the city from a more creative perspective. Even if the artwork isn’t always “deep” or political, it still brings beauty, culture, and joy to the urban landscape—and that’s reason enough to slow down and appreciate it.
