About this itinerary
This route covers 6 Private Lives filming locations plus 2 nearby spots from other K-dramas — each "Filming spot" tag names the drama.
Filming spots on this route: Seoul Unhyeongung, Constitutional Court Exhibition Hall, Bukchon Hanok Village Gamgodang Street, Korean House, Inhyeon Market, Sinchon Graffiti Mural Tunnel. We picked the ones that are easy to visit and photograph, and filled the time in between with nearby sights and places to eat.
From Incheon Airport it takes about 1 hr by the AREX airport railroad. Anything within about 20 minutes on foot, you walk.
You stay all 2 nights near Myeongdong Cathedral and start every day from the same place — no repacking.
Day 1: Seoul Unhyeongung, Constitutional Court Exhibition Hall, Bukchon Hanok Village Gamgodang Street, Kyobo Book Centre. Lunch at Suin Insadong Dakhanmari, dinner at Imone Gamjatang.
Day 2: Korean House, Inhyeon Market, Ewha Street, Sinchon Graffiti Mural Tunnel, Sebit Island. Lunch at Deungchonsyabeukalguksu Sinchon, dinner at Won Donkatsu Udon.
Day 3: Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Kim Ria Gallery. Lunch at Choi Dot. Then head back to Incheon Airport.
Popular sights are busiest on weekend afternoons — start early for a calmer visit and better photos.
Times in this plan are worked out from the distance between stops and how long you stay at each one. Feel free to drop a stop or two for a slower pace. Every stop has location and directions buttons that open the map directly.
