The walk begins where the city hums: a sidewalk beside a market stall, steam rising from tteokbokki, and alleys that refuse to stay anonymous. A Lokafyer leads at your pace, turning streets into chapters — from broad boulevards that recall the Joseon court to narrow lanes where modern cafés press against century-old hanok.
