Timeline

    Pyeonghwa Market

    Start at Pyeonghwa Market to grab a warm snack and explore the stalls. The market is open and lively in the late afternoon, perfect for picking up local street food before heading to the park.

  2. 16:35

    Riverside Park

    Walk to Riverside Park. The short stroll from the market brings you to the Gamcheon River, where you can find a spot along the landscaped trails to watch the sky change color.

  3. 17:35

    Riverside Park

    Stay for sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a final glow over the river and the seasonal flowerbeds. This is the quiet moment to take in the view before the city lights come on.

  4. 18:35

    Gyeongseong Brewery

    Head to Gyeongseong Brewery for dinner and a drink. It is a short walk from the park. The retro decor and clean interior provide a comfortable setting for casual pub food and ice-cold beer as night falls.

Local tip

The market closes at 20:00, so head there before the sun starts to dip. Gyeongseong Brewery is open until 03:00, giving you plenty of time to linger after the sunset.
