Top 6 Historic Walking Areas in Seoul, South Korea

January 11, 2022 Misti Hsu

Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

Cheonggyecheon Stream

Formerrly polluted and covered with an elevated road since 2005 this stream has been cleaned up and made into an Art and nature walkway through the heart of Seoul.

This is a great oasis in a very busy city, and is perfect for a contemplative walk, a jog, or just to sit and soak up the atmosphere.

Deoksugung Doldam-gil

Reviewed By GlobetrotterJ16 - Seoul, South Korea

This stonewall of Deoksugung marks a very nice, tree lined small street that is perfect for a stroll. From the palace this route leads you to the American Ambassadors Residence and the Seoul Museum ofArt. On weekends the road is often closed to allow pedestrians more space. At the palace end are Dunkin Donuts, a famous waffle stalls and some restaurants and on the other end across from Enwha Girls high school are more cafes and restaurants. The stroll is quite nice and when in the area would highly recommend to take it,
