The Dark Side of Seoul Walking Audio Tour by VoiceMap
Murder! Ghosts! Sex! This is the side of Seoul that you won’t find in the tourism brochures. Take a self-guided GPS audio tour down the dark alleys of the forgotten 600-year history of bloody massacres, seedy hideaways and mourning ghosts. Stops on this tour include the following: the site of a gruesome massacre, the bridge whose stones tell a dark story that lovers and passersby know nothing about, and a neighborhood known to be occupied by the spirits of prostitutes who met grisly ends.
Along the way we regale tales of Seoul’s famous ghosts and murderers, weird and surprising landmarks, and the ancient city’s scandalous secrets. There will be an opportunity to buy refreshments. Children under 18 should not take this tour. It involves violent stories, sex jokes and a foul-mouthed tour guide.
The tour is ready whenever you are and the audio plays automatically at exactly the right time and place using your smartphone's GPS and the VoiceMap mobile app, which also works offline.

Pass By: Nagwon Instrument Arcade, 428, Samil-daero, Jongno-gu, Seoul 03140 South Korea
Musical instrument dealers started moving into the building, making it one of the largest musical instrument malls in the world.
Pass By: Tapgol Park, Jongno 2-ga, Jongno-gu, Seoul South Korea
Tapgol Park was built in the 1890s. It was designed by a British architect and is the first modern park in Korea. It's also the birthplace of the March 1st Independence Movement.
Pass By: Pimatgol Alley, 32 Donhwamun-ro 5-gil, Jongno 1(il).2(i).3(sam).4(sa), Jongno-gu, Seoul, South Korea

Pass By: Jongno Tower, 51, Jong-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul 03161 South Korea
There's a reason Jongno Tower is shaped like it is. It's because the ground it's built on is cursed! All the businesses and houses that were built on that land before it have met with disaster.
Pass By: Cheonggyecheon Stream, Seoul South Korea
The Cheonggyecheon Stream was revived in 2005. Before then, it was a raised highway. And towards the end of the Chosun Dynasty, it was basically a sewage ditch.
