Mullae & Yeouido Half-Day

Getting to the start

10 min walk from Mullae Station (Line 2) Exit 7. From the Mullae Park intersection, head toward the post office and the lanes begin. On Sundays the workshops are closed — quieter lanes, but none of the working atmosphere.

The route

1. 1

   Mullae Art Village

   Mullae / Yeongdeungpo · 1h 30m

   A grid of metalworking shops that artists moved into, so studios and galleries sit between working machine shops. On weekdays you hear steel being cut on the same lane as the murals. It is not a groomed tourist area — signage is sparse, and on Sundays the workshops are shut and the lanes go quiet.

2. Subway20m

   One stop on Line 2 from Mullae to Yeongdeungpo-gu Office, then change to Line 5 for two stops to Yeouinaru. Exit 2 opens onto the river park.

   2

   Yeouido Hangang Park

   Yeouido · 1h 30m

   The biggest and busiest of the riverside parks. Cherry blossoms along Yunjung-ro in spring, and a night market on summer weekends.
