How I'd walk Samgakji · Sinyongsan

삼각지·신용산 · 8 stops

a museum morning into a Yongsan night

The National Museum is the country's best — give it the morning. The rest of the day is watching a neighborhood change: an old station quarter, once a red-light district, remaking itself block by block into design rooms and dining. A show at the Amorepacific museum is worth planning around. And the alleys inside Samgakji get loud once evening comes.

One person's route, in the order I'd walk it. No photos, no rankings.

The rest of the route is in the app: why each stop, in what order, and how long between them, along with what to order at every one.

If the night wants more, Itaewon is two stops east on line 6 — but that one deserves its own evening.
