Food Tours in Yongsan, Seoul
The Heart of Rooftop Cafés
Haebangchon
Haebangchon is a place where refugees from the Korean War and those who returned home after liberation lived. An exotic ambience was created with traces of the past left around the area. Consequently, the area is gaining popularity as it appeals to Millennials and Gen Z, who embraces both retro and contemporary. There are many rooftop cafés and restaurants on high hills where you can enjoy delicious food while looking at beautiful scenery.

Must-visit attractions
N Seoul Tower


N Seoul Tower appears close enough to touch from Haebangchon, which is located beneath Namsan Mountain. N Seoul Tower was originally a radio wave tower, but is now a centerpiece of Seoul's scenery by day and adds to the beauty of the city's nightlife when it lights up in various colors. At 480 meters above sea level, the observatory offers a 360-degree panoramic view of Seoul.
