Leeum, Hannam Half-Day

Getting to the start

From Hangangjin Station (Line 6) Exit 1, walk 100m toward Itaewon, turn right at the first lane and climb for about 5 minutes. The slope is steep. It often runs on timed booking, so check the site before you set out.

The route

1. 1

   Leeum Museum of Art

   Hannam · 2h

   A museum of traditional art and one of contemporary art on the same site, in three buildings each by a different architect — the buildings are part of what you come to see. It is up a hill, so the walk from Hangangjin Station is steep. It often runs on timed booking, so check the site first.
