Euljiro (Hipjiro): what to see and do
Old print shops, metal workshops and lighting stores sit beside retro bars and cafes tucked into industrial alleys.
Known for
- Nogari Alley, with beer and dried pollock at outdoor tables
- Printing and lighting workshops around Euljiro 3-ga
- Sewoon Sangga, an elevated electronics market complex
What to do
Wander the alleys past the old printing shops, then settle into a retro cafe, or a beer and nogari table in the evening. Walk along Cheonggyecheon stream nearby.
Tip: Late afternoon into evening works best, when the workshops are quiet and the bars open. The alleys are narrow, so use a map.
