Yeouido: river walks & city streets

3–4 hours

Arrival

Yeouinaru · Line 5 / Yeouido · Lines 5 & 9

Tourist attractions

Hongdae: Red Road & café streets

A separately scheduled event

Arrival

Yeouido area · follow event-day transport notices

Tourist attractions

Starfield Library, COEX

Seoul

Tall illuminated bookshelves and an open atrium make this one of Seoul’s most recognisable reading spaces. It sits inside COEX Mall, so it works particularly well as part of a Samseong-dong day.

Allow

45–90 minutes

Arrival

Samseong · Line 2 / Bongeunsa · Line 9

Tourist attractions

Visit a working library in Seoul’s former City Hall building. Its historic façade beside the newer glass City Hall makes this a rewarding stop for visitors interested in civic architecture.
