Hi, I’m Tabi!

In southwest Seoul, Guro-gu offers an arboretum, sports facilities and diverse neighborhood cultures. Start in Hang-dong or Gocheok, treating Garibong’s food area as a separate outing.

This guide covers places within Guro-gu, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

A first-visit stop

Gocheok Sky Dome

고척스카이돔

An indoor baseball stadium. The photo shows the 2017 World Baseball Classic, not a current event or seating arrangement. Check schedules and tickets; a neighborhood walk does not imply interior access.

Getting there
Check the current approach and return transport on the map.

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Seoul’s Garibong feature links migrant culture with foods such as grilled lamb skewers. Historical shop references do not establish current opening or menus; check ingredients and offerings locally.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Walk the arboretum’s designated garden paths. Check access to nearby former railway areas rather than assuming tracks are always open for walking; save Gocheok or Garibong for separate outings.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
