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

  • 2 hours and 30 minutes
  • 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.

PS.The autumn leaves on Inwangsan Mountain is at its best from late October to early November, offering beautiful fall scenery.
