Seoul, South Korea

Why Walk Seoul

Seoul is a city of neighborhoods, each with a distinct personality that unfolds on foot. The restored Cheonggyecheon Stream offers a peaceful urban walk through the heart of downtown, while the five Joseon-era palaces — especially Gyeongbokgung and Changdeokgung — provide serene escapes behind fortress walls. The Bukchon Hanok Village preserves hundreds of traditional Korean houses on hilly lanes between two palaces, and the nearby Insadong street is lined with tea houses, galleries, and craft shops. Across the river, the trendy districts of Gangnam, Itaewon, and Hongdae offer completely different vibes — from luxury shopping to international dining to indie music clubs. Namsan Mountain provides a green hike right in the city center, rewarding walkers with panoramic views from N Seoul Tower.
