Mural art villages - Seoul

Seoul is home to several vibrant mural art villages—hidden gems where colorful street art transforms everyday alleys into open-air galleries. Located at the foot of Naksan Park, this hillside neighborhood underwent a public art revival called the “Naksan Project” in 2006. Around 70 artists and volunteers painted walls, staircases, and poles, turning it into a lively art walk englis You'll find mosaics, koi fish stairs, angel wings, giant murals, and metal sculptures. Don’t miss the panoramic views of Seoul and Namsan Tower at the top . Pro tips: Visit early to beat the crowds, stay quiet out of respect for residents, and enjoy a coffee at the cozy hillside café "On the Hill" Travel Tips 📸 Best time: Early morning or late afternoon for great light and fewer people (especially in Ihwa). 🎒 Wear comfy shoes—both spots are hilly and full of stairs. 🧹 Be respectful: these are residential neighborhoods. Keep noise down and carry your trash. ☕ Pause in cafés: both art villages offer charming spots to rest and see local life. #awesomepic#couplestrip
