Seoul has many old towns. In general old towns tend to have many stairs that are long. I mean really really long... like more than hundred steps long.
These days, many artists and towns are restoring those old fashioned districts and stairs and transforming them into "art."
Starting from behind Daehakno to all the way to Mapo gu, the districts are full of artistic stairs.
One of the major 'dong' (<-district) where we can find everyday 'art' is Jongno gu Myeongryun Sam(3)ga dong. We can even say that the entire district is the art museum!
The district actually planned an ungoing art project: "Lost in Town." By turning the entire town into an artsy area like SOHO in New York, the district is getting more popular each year. In Myeonryun Sam (3)ga dong, stairs, decorated walls, and the drawings of cats are popular. Many people come to find all eleven cats in the district. In addition, there is a famous jazz cafe, called 'Bluenote.' It will be a good idea to hang out there after finding all cats and walking up and down those stairs.
