Area
City Center
Deoksugung Palace, the setting of Korea's modern history in the
late Joseon Dynasty, is located in the City Hall area, in central
Seoul. Here, the past blends with the present in harmony with
royal palaces situated among the forest of high-rise buildings.
The Center of Seoul,
where the Past Meets
the Present
Deoksugung is the only one of the five royal palaces in Seoul
that has been able to keep a modern architectural style. Its main
tourist attractions are : Junghwajeon (Hall), which features the
architecture of a traditional royal residence; the majestic sight
of Seokjojeon (Hall), Korea’s first Western stone building, and
Jeonggwanheon (Pavilion), where King Gojong, the last king of
the Joseon Dynasty, used to enjoy his coffee. After touring the
Deoksugung area, you can take a walk along the Deoksugung
Doldamgil, known as one of the most beautiful walking paths in
Seoul. Turn right at Daehanmun (Gate) and walk down the path
that takes you to the Seoul Museum of Art.

The N Seoul Tower Roof Terrace
Originally built as a wooden deck for
an aerial view of the city, the Roof
Terrace is now more popular as a
place where visitors hang their ‘locks
of love’ on the fence. You may want

one’s name on it and let it be part of
the endless parade of memories. (p.13)

Local Tips
• Use the Seoul City Tour Bus
for convenient transportation to
Deoksugung Palace, Myeongdong,
Namdaemun Market, and Seoul Station.
•A recommended place to visit along
with the Seoul Museum of History,
Gyeonghuigung Palace was once a
palace massive enough to house a
hundred structures within its grounds
during the Joseon Dynasty. Some of
the structures and the leafy woods
behind the palace are in high demand
as a location for filming period movies.

Local Tips
•Remember to visit Gyeongbokgung
and Changdeokgung when the two
palaces are open to the public at night in
spring and autumn. The night tour of the
palaces requires advance reservation.
•Insa-dong is usually a heavy-traffic
area, but it is vehicle-free on weekends.
If you want a stress-free tour of the area,
the weekend is the best time to visit.

Area
Dongdaemun
& Around
The busy streets near Heunginjimun (Dongdaemun) during the
Joseon Period have turned into Seoul's signature fashion town that is
full of clothing shops, retail and whole sale businesses. This area was
also the second in Asia to welcome streetcars (1899), the first to host
a movie theater, and has become Asia's trendsetter.
Opened in 2014, Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) was designed by
the world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid and has become the most
beautiful symbolic structure of the Dongdaemun area.The glistening
exterior of DDP is made of 45,133 aluminum panels, none of which
are the same shape. This unique facility and the nearby Dongdaemun
History & Culture Park attract crowds of visitors every day, testifying to
the vibrant past and future of the Dongdaemun.
Streets Perfect for
Shopping and the Arts
< 동대문시장 / 대학로 >
The Gwanghui-dong area, where the Dongdaemun markets are
located, is also known as “the Silk Road of Seoul” as the area has
been a magnet for merchants from many nearby countries. The tiled
murals along the Cheonggyecheon stream feature interesting stories
about the Dongdaemun area, including how an item of clothing is
completed in three days and how the Dongdaemun fashion town is a
place that never sleeps.

The walking trail Sunseonggil at Seoul City Wall, a fortress wall that
connects the four major gates of the city, is a must-see site in the
area. Sunseonggil begins at Heunginjimun Gate and proceeds to
Naksan Park and Hyehwamun Gate and is the best place to get an
aerial view of Seoul today. When you arrive at Naksan Park, you will
see Daehangno and artistic streets that are lined with over 90 small
theaters and galleries. Your journey to the Dongdaemun area will
be complete when you visit Ihwa Maeul, which has recently been
reborn as a mural town, and meet some of the young street artists at
Marronnier Park.
Sindang-dong

Ihwa Maeul This is a neighborhood that has transformed itself into a
picturesque landscape through the Naksan Public Art Project. Colorful murals
painted on walls, stairways, and handrails bring vitality to the entire village of
Naksan. (p.29)

Highlights
Sinchon·Ewha Womans Univ.
Yonsei Univ.
Mangwon-dong
While the Sinchon and Ewha Woman's University areas represent
the college culture of Seoul, the area near Hongik University, often
called Hongdae, is well-known as the hub of indie art culture. This
is the place where entire streets are filled with unique cafes, freespirited murals, and young designers' outlets that transform into the
stage for a mega festival at night with dancing, music, and young
club-goers. The clubs in the Hongdae area are so popular with
international tourists that the New York Times once picked the area
as one of the top ten sites to visit in Seoul. Recently, the culture of
the area has been expanding as far as Sangsu-dong Cafe Street,
transforming itself all over again as a youth-oriented neighborhood
that embraces cultural diversity.

During the Joseon Period, the piers by the river spread Seoul
culture and civilization throughout the nation. Today, the
Hangang (river) is still the iconic foundation upon which the
culture of Seoul blooms. In spring and autumn, Hangang Park
transforms itself into a stage for various festivals. Other popular
attractions along the banks of Hangang(river) include public
swimming pools that cool down the hot summer weather, making
the riverside the place to be with many leisure and sports
activities throughout the four seasons.

If Itaewon is the global district in the Gangbuk region, or north
of the Hangang (river), Yeouido is the district of global finance
in the Gangnam region, south of the river. Yeouido was nothing
more than a sandy island about one hundred years ago, but
the area began to attract attention when Korea’s first airport
opened for business in 1916. Today, it is home to many Seoul
landmarks, such as the National Assembly building, 63 Square,
and IFC Mall, but the true gem of Yeouido is the Hangang (river)
rather than the forest of buildings. When taking a ferry cruise and
sailing on the river, you can view the bridges on the Hangang
(river) that have undergone many changes over the course of
Korean history, and other major tourist attractions in Seoul such
as the beautiful ecological island Bamseom (Islet).

wildflowers and grass which is true to the name of the region:

Local Tips
•Take a walk on the Hanseong
Baekje Wangseong-gil, which
connects Mongchontoseong and
Pungnaptoseong, two historical sites
from the early Baekje Period. This is
where you will find outstanding cultural
heritage from the Baekje Period and
also traces of the ancient history of
Seoul, which was already the capital
city of an ancient kingdom before the
birth of Christ.
•If you want to visit Lotte World but
you are on a tight schedule, buy the
After 4 ticket, which allows you to enter
after 4:00 in the afternoon. You can
use the facility until it closes at a much
cheaper price.
