Travel ideas

  • Check Visit Seoul for operating days and site-specific changes because outdoor public-space programs can pause for weather or civic events.
  • Use it as a short stop between Deoksugung, Gwanghwamun Square, Cheonggyecheon, and Myeongdong.
  • For photos and comfort, aim for late afternoon or early evening rather than the hottest part of the day.
