1. Gwanghwamun museums
Use the plaza area and nearby museums as a simple starting point when outdoor visibility is poor.
Rainy-day Seoul route
Rainy-day Jongno: museums, craft spaces, and easy cafe stops
When Seoul weather turns wet, Jongno still works. The easiest plan is to use Anguk and Gwanghwamun as anchors, then move between museums, craft spaces, covered commercial areas, and short cafe breaks.
Indoor-friendly route
2. Anguk craft stops
Move toward Seoul Museum of Craft Art, MMCA Seoul, and nearby cultural spaces when you want a calm middle section.
3. Hanok cafes
Finish with Ikseon-dong or a cafe near Seosulla-gil if the rain slows down enough for a short alley walk.
Good rainy-day choices
- Short visit
- Pick one museum and one cafe near the same station instead of crossing the district.
- With luggage
- Stay close to larger stations and avoid narrow hanok lanes at crowded times.
- After rain
- Songhyeon, Cheonggyecheon, and Seosulla-gil become good short walks when the weather clears.
