- Frequent Tripster37 contributionsThis shopping area turns into a fun night market with great energy. Lot's of food choices and the usual tourist trinkets. A little pricey but still good fun and value.Written May 26, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Pang OPerth, Australia574 contributionsThis is a great place from which to see the amazing sights of the new and old parts of bustling Seoul. Unfortunately for us, it was a rainy day when we visited.Written May 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Duane BWest Des Moines, IA32 contributionsI was not sure how good of a view there would be of the city but it's for sure worth your time going up. Take the cable car up, I dont think the views can get any better. If you are in Seoul it's a must. I didnt go up into Seoul Tower, I figured the views in the park would be better and save some money also.Written May 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- JMBrooklynShenzhen, China143 contributionsSuch a fun family show, we all laughed and had a great time. The actors are so talented and impressive. The website showed all tickets sold out for the day we had wanted to go, so I decided to just walk to the box office and they had plenty of good tickets available. Definitely sit on the main floor for more interactive possibilityWritten April 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- NICHOLAS TDubai, United Arab Emirates8,983 contributionsThis is a cheap, clean and efficient way to travel around Seoul.
The ticket machines and announcements are all available in English so it is user friendly.
Stations are well sign posted and generally offer convenience and other shops.Written April 8, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It looks totally different during the day and at night....cool to hang out and we tried the indoor serene nature experience by a certain nature brand....forgot the name...and consider it was so full of people just outside....Written March 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Petia R13 contributionsWhat a great experience. Fun pictures with the family. There are different rooms with art to take pictures in the art. Light variations. They were beautifully made.Written September 29, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- SeokdoespilatesSingapore, Singapore172 contributionsThe market is vast with many alley ways, and can get really busy on the weekends. Shops seem to open after 9 am and close by 7 pm. The shops along the street are just the tip of the iceberg as these street level shops are the frontage of multiple small malls to wander into, each often specialising in a particular item. There is even a mall dedicated to children's wear or jewellery/accessories. Hats, socks, bags, clothing, Korean ginseng, snacks, toys and household items galore. In the early evening, the street vendors open offering typical Korean street food. Delve into the narrow alleys to find cosy eateries selling local food, including Kalguksu Alley. There are gate numbers for the main entries to the market. The often featured on social media hotteok vendor is at gate 2 (ask for the vegetable one). Many vendors can speak some English. A fun way to spend a couple of hours getting local souvenirs and bargains and trying local food.Written April 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- macedonboyGlasgow, UK185,121 contributionsA church has been at this location since the late 19th century when the Apostolic Vicar of Korea sought land to build a church in Seoul. The church is a Neo-Gothic building with heavy use of red, grey and white bricks perhaps with slight influence of Brick Gothic and Japanese Red Brick Architecture. Otherwise, the building is very typical of Gothic style. The interior of the church is as lavishly decorated as you’d normally expect for the seat of the Archbishop of a large city like Seoul. There are stained glass windows throughout the building, the most elaborate decorate the high altar and contain over a dozen scenes depicting the life and times of Jesus. While the reredos are murals of the apostles and disciples.
The church is an active place of worship, so you do have to be careful when visiting.Written May 23, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Note that seniors can enter this attraction for free, just show your proof of age.
There is a beautiful fountain at the center of the area. There are 3 buildings to visit here, my favorite one is the one that shows intricately embroidered panels. Took a lot of photos of the embroidered exhibits here.
The other 2 buildings have their own exhibits. Feeling tired of walking, I simply took their pictures from outside.Written May 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Shopaholics can probably spend days here simply checking out different floors.Written November 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Johnmango928Edmonton, Canada552 contributionsTo me the main attraction is the Namsangol Park itself. The Namsangol Hanok Village is located inside the park.
On a Sunday morning the park was not busy. Admission is free. There are a few things I like about the park:
- A running live stream with small waterfalls which helps mask any traffic noise from outside the park. Very few parks I had visited actually have running streams.
- Use of large pieces of granite and stones, for stepping over streams and for seating.
- A "Commemorating Pit" celebrating 600th year of Seoul being the Capital of South Korea. At the centre of the "pit" was the congratulation messages from the mayors of other cities, including Jacques Chirac mayor of Paris, Frank Jordan mayor of San Francisco, and Melih Görçhek mayor of Ankara.
The park also has a cafe-tea house located in a traditional building, as well as, of course, the Hanok Village which is actually just a few houses of traditional design.Written April 30, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- jeny9 contributionsI went to busan for a vacation.
KTX is always amazing.
The comfortable seats and neat interior of this train are always satisfying.
The price of the train is expensive compared to other transportation in Korea, but it can save time because it can arrive quickly.
I was able to get a discount by booking ktx on movv.
When I booked ktx tickets, Korail had a problem with card authentication, but I booked them without any problems here.Written May 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

They are celebrating the 2024 Visit Korea Campaign so there are several booths handing out some give aways. There was also a pink mascot waving around.
I also visited the big building in front of the plaza. Learned that it is the old city hall, now a library.Written May 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
