What to expect
Daehakno (Pass By)
Daehakro is a major “arts & culture street” in Korea with some 150 theatres clustered in the area. Stretching for about 1.6km from Jongno 5-ga in Jongno-gu to the Hyehwa-dong Rotary, Daehakro was designated a “cultural zone” and operated as a “no cars zone” on weekends. You can visit many historically and culturally popular sites such as Marronnier Park and Naksan Park or see and taste the latest trends at the various eateries and shopping facilities. Walk toward Changgyeonggung Palace while feeling the youthful energy of Daehakro, which is lively even late at night.

Kwangjang Market
