Please aim to arrive around 10-15 minutes early, in case of any delays, and to ensure you find your way to the meeting point on time.
Cheonggyecheon Stream
Cheonggyecheon is a beautifully restored 11-kilometer urban stream that runs through the heart of Seoul, offering a serene oasis amidst the bustling city. Once buried under concrete, it was revitalized in 2005 into a vibrant public space with walkways, bridges, and greenery, perfect for leisurely strolls or cultural events. This iconic waterway blends history, nature, and modern urban life.

5.00Bella was amazing from VIP Travels. Her energy was so radiant that just lifted our mood! She was very patient, extremely knowledgeable, and so attentive to our group. There was a family traveling in our tour group with a toddler (21 months) alongside my parents who are seniors, and she provided all of us with the utmost care. This is my first time using viator and because of Bella, I am so excited to book my next tour.. hopefully she will be our tour again!!!
