There a weekend flea market tents all along this stretch. Also cultural events always going on in this area on the weekends. A good number of museums , galleries , and historic palaces .

서울특별시 종로구 광화문에서 세종로사거리와 청계광장으로 이어지는 세종로 중앙에 조성된 광장으로 2009년 8월 1일 시민에게 개방되었다.

Seul’ü gezmeye başlamak için bir start noktası belirlenmiş olsaydı şüphesiz burası olurdu. Amiral Yi Sun-sin’in ve Kral Sejong’un heykelleri size adeta “Kore ’ye hoşgeldiniz” diyecek.

Gwanghwamun Meydanı 600 yıllık tarihe sahip halka açık meydandır . Sejong-ro Yolu'nun merkezinde yer alır. Buradan etraftaki heykelleri , sarayları ,önemli yerleri ve resmî binaları görebileceksiniz.
