What people say

Rai R
"Seongsu used to be an old shoe factory town turned into a hip & artsy neighbourhood & one of my personal favourite neighbourhoods in Seoul ✨ The streets in this area were once lined with shoe factories and other small factories, but in recent years young artists and designers have transformed many of the old buildings into cafes, restaurants & art galleries. Today, Seongsu-dong is known as Seoul’s Brooklyn. I personally feel the hip artsy stuff hidden within the raw, rustic & industrial buildings in the neighbourhood also gives off "LA Arts District" or "East Berlin" vibes."

"Hip Seongsu-dong is known for its craft coffee bars and organic restaurants in repurposed warehouses. Major draws include airy Daerim Warehouse, which has a cafe showing work by emerging artists, and Seongsu Hand-made Shoe Street, with shops and a weekend market. Seoul Forest is a large urban park with deer, while waterfront Ttukseom Hangang Park offers seasonal activities like waterskiing and sledding."
