Busy street in Seoul with modern architecture and local shops, captured during the day.

Open Port Modern Architecture Street

인천 개항장 거리

Jung-gu, Incheon · 인천

The streets of the treaty port, where Japanese and Western banks built in stone from the 1890s — several now small museums with their interiors intact.

Why it’s worth it

This is where modern Korea was forced open, and the architecture says so plainly. Free to walk, and the old First Bank interior is worth going inside.
