An Urban Walk through Sewoon, Euljiro and Cheonggyecheon

Walk central Seoul from the area around Sewoon Plaza to Euljiro and Cheonggyecheon. The focus is on building exteriors and street scenery, so you do not need to enter a particular shop. Choose rooftop or indoor spaces according to whether they are open that day.
