Known for
The former workshop streets between Yeonmujang-gil and Seoul Forest.
Workshops turned into cafes
Seongsu
성수
Yeonmujang-gil, Seongsu-ro
Old workshops by Seoul Forest: concrete, coffee, small studios. A day for walking between sheds, not for a palace.
Why go
Come in the afternoon. In the morning some doors are still shut. In the evening the forest at the edge remains.
Where to stay
Worth it if you want the new rooms rather than hanok. Gangnam is one subway line, not a walk.

The forest is the east edge. The cafes stand to the west, in the old workshops, not in the park itself.
Where to have it
- 바이닐 성수 — На втором этаже у выхода Токсум у каждого стола свой проигрыватель и наушники, кофе входит во вход.
