Street of Exotic Night Culture: Itaewon and Haebangchon Night View
Itaewon and Haebangchon are multicultural streets located at the foot of Namsan, famous for their unique atmosphere and night views. Haebangchon, along with Gyeongnidan-gil, is popular among young people with its hip cafes, bars, and restaurants. Thanks to the hilly terrain, you can enjoy beautiful night views of downtown Seoul from various spots.
Night View Spots

Nighttime Activities
Itaewon is Seoul's representative nightlife district. With bars and clubs of various nationalities and live music venues, you can enjoy the night late into the evening. Haebangchon and Gyeongnidan-gil have a calmer atmosphere, great for enjoying night views along with meals at wine bars, cocktail bars, and fine restaurants.
Recommended Course
We recommend starting from Itaewon Station, exploring restaurants along Gyeongnidan-gil → enjoying night views at Haebangchon's 108 Steps → finishing at a cafe in Sinheung Market alleys. Wear comfortable shoes as there are many hills.
