Hi, I’m Tabi!

Yongsan-gu combines museums with Itaewon’s diverse daily cultures. Ichon, Samgakji and Itaewon are separate areas: start with one.

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

01 · EXPLORE

Two places to begin

Two different places: start with whichever interests you.

A first-visit stop

National Museum of Korea

국립중앙박물관

A museum exploring Korean history and world cultures through exhibitions and education. The photo shows its exterior in 2010. Check current exhibitions, booking and entry guidance; no particular object is guaranteed to be on permanent view.

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

02

A first-visit stop

War Memorial of Korea

전쟁기념관

An exhibition and memorial space reflecting on war, loss and peace. Distinguish displayed equipment from commemorative monuments. Check child-visit, photography and closure guidance and respect memorial etiquette.

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

02 · A LITTLE BITE

What could you try?

Seoul tourism material introduces German-style breads, pretzels, sausages and schnitzel in Itaewon. These illustrate local multicultural food rather than endorsing a shop or guaranteeing current menus. Check wheat, meat, egg and dairy ingredients and allergies with vendors.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try the first destination’s permitted entrance → public areas. Choose the other stop after checking separate transport and access.

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 entry arrangements and return transport first.
  • Choose one stop to suit weather, slopes and local restrictions.
  • Respect private areas and photography rules; check food ingredients locally.
