Seongsu: what to see and do
Old brick factories and shoe workshops turned into cafes, galleries and design stores, near the Han River and Seoul Forest.
Known for
- Handmade shoe workshops on the Seongsu shoe street
- Daelim Changgo, a converted warehouse with a gallery and cafe
- Brick-factory cafes and bakeries around Seongsu Station
What to do
Walk between the converted factories and pick a few cafes, galleries and brand showrooms. Then stroll over to Seoul Forest.
Tip: Popular cafes and pop-up stores have lines on weekends, so go on a weekday. Wear comfortable shoes for the walking.
