Seoul’s Hidden Gems: A Scenic Walk from Seochon to Buam-dong

The tour lasts 2 hours and 30 minutes
Available in English

Description

Hello! I am a certified guide who loves Seoul's quiet corners. Rather than crowded spots, I enjoy peaceful paths where history and nature come together.


This Seochon to Buam-dong route is my  favorite walk. I’ve walked it many times, and now I'd love to share it with you. 
It’s a relaxed walking journey through hidden alleys, historic sites, beautiful hanok, and peaceful mountain paths. Along the way, you’ll see a different side of Seoul — away from the busy tourist crowds.

  • Cheongwadae Sarangchae or Sangchonjae Hanok House (varies by day)
  • Seochon Alleyways: Local life & hidden history
  • Suseongdong Valley: A scenic retreat
  • Mumudae Observatory: Breathtaking panoramic Seoul views
  • Cheongun Literature Library: Most beautiful Hanok library
  • Changuimun: Explore the historic gate.
  • Yoon Dong-ju  hill & Seoul City Wall
  • Return Together: We will take a local bus back to Gyeongbokgung Station together.
