K-Style Hub 케이스타일허브
Located within the KTO Seoul Office in Jung-gu, Seoul, K-Style Hub spreads over a total of four floors. On the 2nd floor, you can get comprehensive information on tours in Korea including hallyu and medical tours, in particular. At the Korean Culinary Culture Exhibition on the 3rd floor and the Korean Cuisine Culture Center on the 4th floor, you can learn about Korean cuisine and culture. K-Style Hub creates a new paradigm in exhibition and culture through the convergence of world-class ICT and culture.
Culture Station Seoul 284 문화역서울284
Once a symbolic place in modern Korean history, as well as the center for traffic and exchanges, Seoul Station was transformed in 2011 into a cultural complex named Culture Station Seoul 284. As a platform for the creation and exchanges of culture and art, the facility runs various programs including exhibitions, performances and workshops.
Changdeokgung Palace 창덕궁
Constructed as the second royal villa for kings during the Joseon Dynasty, Changdeokgung Palace was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in December 1997. The palace has one of the most beautiful gardens in Korea, where nature is well preserved as it has been untouched by humans.
Namsangol Hanok Village 남산골한옥마을
Established in 1998, Namsangol Hanok Village is a great place to witness the life of ancient Koreans and to explore the many restored hanoks (traditional Korean houses). Sitting at the foot of Namsan Mountain, the village has a beautiful valley, pavilion, and garden, making it a perfect spot for visitors to take a walk. You can experience traditional Korean culture through the various activity programs run by this traditional village located in downtown Seoul.
Ikseon-dong Alley 익선동골목
Visit Ikseon-dong and travel back in time walking through a district full of hanoks (traditional Korean-style houses) built in the 1920s. With many vintage stores, Ikseon-dong boasts a unique atmosphere unlike other hanok villages.
Namsan N Seoul Tower 남산N서울타워
Built in 1967, Namsan Tower was the first TV and radio broadcast tower in Korea reaching across the Seoul metropolitan area. The tower was renamed the Namsan N Seoul Tower, where the N refers to “New.” At this tower attraction in Korea, visitors can view the Seoul cityscape from a height of 480 m above sea level. Namsan N Seoul Tower displays various media artworks titled “art of light” created using high-tech LED lights that change colors and patterns.
Chungwadae 청와대
Korea’s political center, Chungwadae, is located in front of Bugaksan Mountain. Chungwadae’s curved roof and blue roof tiles symbolize Korean beauty, just as Chungwadae itself symbolizes Korea. Made with approximately 150 thousand blue tiles, the blue roof boasts outstanding durability that can last more than 100 years.
Seoul Sky Tower 서울스카이타워
Seoul Sky is located on floors 117-123 of Lotte World Tower, the nation’s tallest and the world’s fifth tallest building. The observatory offers a panoramic view of the entire capital city, beautiful both day and night. To get to Seoul Sky, you will have to take the Sky Shuttle, an elevator that reaches a speed of 600 m per minute. In no time at all, you’ll be at the top of the world.
Bugak Skyway 북악스카이웨이
Bugak Skyway was once a restricted area after North Korea’s attempt to attack Chungwadae on January 21, 1968. On February 27, 2010, the skyway was opened to the public again after 41 years. Untouched by humans for more than 40 years, the area is called the "DMZ of Seoul", with superb natural landscapes and significant ecological value.
Lotte World Mall 롯데월드몰
The multi-leveled mall draws in many visitors as one of the top shopping attractions in Seoul, with a variety of domestic and foreign brands. The mall also offers a wide range of entertainment facilities, such as a movie theater, aquarium, concert hall, and more.
