Seoullo 7017

Seoullo 7017 was originally an elevated highway built in the 1970s, which faced demolition due to safety concerns. Instead of demolishing it, the 'Seoullo 7017' project was initiated to repurpose the elevated road and inject new vitality into the area. By connecting the previously isolated Seoul Station area, it was reborn as 17 pedestrian paths. The name 'Seoullo 7017' encompasses the meanings of 'an elevated road built in 1970 being reborn in 2017,' 'a vehicle road from the 1970s transforming into 17 pedestrian paths,' and 'a 17-meter-high elevated structure built in the 1970s.' True to its name, Seoullo 7017 features 17 pedestrian walkways that link the disconnected city, revitalizing the stagnant region.

Seoullo 7017 is equipped with various facilities, including an information center, rest areas, a magnolia exhibition hall, a café, the Seoullo exhibition hall, a rose exhibition hall, and a garden classroom. By pre-booking the Seoul Walking Tour program on the Visit Seoul website, visitors can explore Seoullo 7017 along with historical and cultural heritage sites such as Culture Station Seoul 284, Sungnyemun Gate, and Hanyangdoseong Fortress, accompanied by professional commentary from Seoul cultural tourism guides.
