Haebangchon

해방촌

Yongsan, Seoul · 서울

A neighbourhood on the south slope of Namsan settled after liberation in 1945, now a steep grid of tiny international restaurants, bakeries and rooftop bars.

Why it’s worth it

Neungdong-ro at the top gives you Namsan Tower one way and the river the other. It is the most walkable food street in Seoul and it is all uphill.
