If you're on the lookout for some meaningful wall art, you just can't beat a travel poster. Whether it's a vintage tourism ad or a contemporary design inspired by a modern cityscape, adorning your walls with travel posters is a great way to pay homage to some of your most treasured travel memories, while also adding some quirky character to your home.
If you're yet to visit the far flung destinations on your travel list, travel posters are still a great way breathe life into an otherwise lacklustre room. You can style them in amongst other prints to create a gallery wall, use them to inject personality into the space above a bed, or even hang them in a bathroom to add a sense of stylish interest.

Zazzle
Similar to Etsy or Not On The High Street, Zazzle is an online marketplace that sells all sorts of products from independent makers. Although Zazzle is best known for its range of customisable gifts, it's also a bit of a hidden gem when it comes to vintage travel posters. From retro Australian tourism posters to vintage prints of the French Alps, you're almost guaranteed to find something you love amongst the website's huge range of artwork.

Not On The High Street
Not On The High Street has always been one of our favourite places to source unique homeware, and when it comes to travel posters, it certainly doesn't disappoint. NOTHS is a great place to head if you're after some contemporary travel posters, but it carries some more traditional prints from artists like Becky Bettesworth too. You can also find some independent brands that'll personalise your travel posters with names, dates and special holiday memories on the website - check out Telegramme Paper Co. for personalised retro travel posters, and Natalie Ryan Design for a great range of vintage-look travel posters too!

Etsy
Whether you're after a vintage Japanese travel poster or an artist's impression of the Amalfi Coast, Etsy has you covered. The brand's travel poster offering is as extensive as it is stylish, plus, a lot of the prints you'll find on the site are really reasonable. If you're after something specific your best bet is to use the search bar, but if you're in need of inspiration, make sure you take a look at Kio Prints, The Jelly Moose, Travel Posters UK or Amber Davenport.
Fy!
Fy! is the home of all things trending when it comes to interiors, and the affordable brand has a seemingly endless offering of wall art. In amongst its Instagram famous artwork and cool typography prints, you'll also find that Fy! has a massive amount of aesthetic travel posters ready to adorn your walls - check out the Travel Poster Co. prints for minimalist illustrated prints, or Vintaprints if you're after something more traditional.
Ink & Drop
Small family business Ink & Drop has a relatively modest range of travel posters, but the prints it does have are certainly impressive. All of Ink & Drop's travel posters are created in studio by their designers, before being printed onto high quality, 230gsm (that’s thick!) matt fine art paper. Each unique travel poster is fade resistant, so if you decide to invest, it'll be with you for a long time. They also do their designs on canvases too!

Trouva
Trouva is the place to head if you're after travel posters with a difference. While you won't be likely to find traditional vintage travel posters on the site, it boasts a range of quirky, contemporary travel posters from artists like Ellie Way (sold through The Art House Boutique) and Nynne Rosenvinge. Don't forget to check out MAGOSC's unusual Flea Market prints too - they make a great alternative travel poster.

Wolf & Badger
Wolf & Badger was originally a small boutique in Notting Hill, but now sells its sustainably and ethically produced jewellery, fashion, accessories, beauty and homeware online on wolfandbadger.com. Although its selection of travel posters is small in comparison to the likes of Etsy or Fy!, Wolf & Badger boasts a collection of prints from cool, independent graphic design brands like Reign & Hail, Stanley Print House and AWOL. It's not to be missed!

Redbubble
Redbubble, an Australian brand, was set up in 2006 in order to give independent artists a place to sell their creations. It's similar to Etsy or Zazzle in the sense that you'll find hundreds, if not thousands, of different brands to browse on the site - artists simply open a Redbubble 'shop', upload their designs, and then consumers can choose whether to have that design printed onto a poster, mug, t-shirt or pretty much anything in between. A search for 'travel posters' will reveal hundreds of thousands of different designs to browse - you can even filter the results by the type of travel associated with your destination, be it adventure, ocean, landscape, city, or beach. With such a huge range of designs, you're pretty much guaranteed to find what you want - they ship globally, and prints start at around just £15!

Amazon
Although it might not be the first place that comes to mind when you think about shopping for wall art, Amazon actually has a great range of travel posters. It's one of your best bets if you're in the market for some budget pieces that'll spruce up your space without breaking the bank - it even sells bundles of vintage travel posters for a reduced price, so you can make a gallery wall without having to pay for each poster individually.
