How to get there: Ihwa Mural Village 이화 벽화마을


Encircled are some landmarks and subway stations



How to get there:

Subway
1- From Hyehwa station exit 2
2- Walk straight and turn left (4 blocks) 
3- Walk straight till you see Di Matteo Pizzeria & Trattoria on your left 
4- You will see Ihwa Village entrance from there turn left then turn right and follow the Naksan hike trail


Before turning left you will see a church and fire station on your right (look at the tiny map below) 

Turn left when you see this building. 


IF you accidentally exit on the 3rd exit (like what we did)  
You have to walk straight till you see the Blue House (I called it Blue House because it's blue it's actually the Korean Broadcasting Telecommunication University, Primary Research building) because that's where the pedestrian lane is and go back to where you're supposed to turn left to. 







WALK SCORE:  7/10 


It's not that hard to walk from Hyehwa station to Ihwa Mural Village (Ihwa ByeokHwa MaEul) what makes it hard (most of the roads are uphill and you have to basically hike to Naksan Mountain)


I recommend: 


  • Ladies to wear comfortable shoes (Do not wear high heels 하지 마
  • If you can read Korean use Daum map street view for better research  
  • Bring a good camera the view from Naksan trail + the murals on the village are good subjects for photography 
  • You can also rent 60's Korean High School uniform at the shop found along the trail to mural village. Find out here~
