Hongdae & Yeonnam

Getting here

Hongik University Station is the stop for many places here, on Line 2, the Gyeongui-Jungang Line and AREX. Venue directions often use Exit 9, which has no street elevator. As of November 2024, it had narrow stairs and heavy crowds. Choose your exit from the station list first if stairs are hard. Mecenatpolis Mall connects to Hapjeong Station, but whether wheelchair users can use this link is not known. Yeonsero runs from Sinchon Station to Yonsei University.

The ground

These notes come from public data and online sources.

Gyeongui Line Forest Park

You can reach the main entrance by wheelchair, but whether you can use the paths is not known yet. The Yeonnam-dong section is about 1.2 km, or 35 minutes on foot, with rest spots along the way.

Streets

For a street with no steps on the way in, try Yeonsero. The way into Hongdae Mural Street also has no steps, but the alley beyond is not known.

Toilets

AK PLAZA Hongdae has accessible toilets. Do not count on the 2nd-floor accessible toilet at Mecenatpolis Mall. It is not known whether Coconut Box has one, so plan your stops ahead.

Theater seats

Hongdae NANTA Theatre has an elevator and only 2 wheelchair seats, on B3. Call before you buy a ticket if you need one.

Stairs

War & Women's Human Rights Museum is not recommended if walking is hard. A rough stone path leads down to its basement, and the visit includes stairs between floors.

Hidden: high walking load

These places stay out of the list above so they do not end up in a plan by accident.
