Jongno·Cheonggye Tourism District
Jongno·Cheonggye Tourism District covers Cheonggyecheon, Jongno streets, Insadong, and Cheonggyecheon-ro—a core downtown tourism zone where history, tradition, and shopping coexist. Palaces, traditional markets, galleries, and cafes link on foot, popular as a one-day course.
Jongno has been the central street of the capital since the Joseon period; Cheonggyecheon was reborn as a walking and cultural space after restoration in the 2000s. Insadong and Cheonggyecheon have been craft, gallery, and teahouse streets since the 1970s.
Gwangtonggyo and Cheonggyecheon walks, Insadong crafts, teahouses, and shopping, and Jongno 3·4-ga traditional markets and restaurants connect on foot, drawing tourists, students, and families. Events along Cheonggyecheon draw even more crowds on weekends and during festivals.
Subway Lines 1·3·5 Jongno 3-ga Station, Line 3 Anguk·Gyeongbokgung Station, Line 5 Gwanghwamun Station. Cheonggyecheon and Jongno are best explored on foot.
