Known forstreet artauthenticfreeneighborhood
A hillside neighborhood near Naksan Park covered in murals, street art, and quirky installations that grew from a community art project in the mid-2000s. The winding alleyways and staircases reveal unexpected artworks around every corner, and the views over the old city walls are excellent. It retains a genuinely lived-in, residential character unlike more commercialized art districts. Visit on a weekday to avoid tour groups clustering around the famous fish staircase mural.
