    A Night Out in Seoul
 

Don’t miss a fabulous evening in Seoul! For 365 days a year, Seoul never sleeps. A true Seoul experience starts after sunset.

Namsan Hanok Village

Most tourist sites are closed after dark, except the Namsan Hanok traditional house village. It’s the best place to understand more about Korean history through architecture.

N Seoul Tower

N Seoul Tower is another must-see landmark in Seoul. The tower becomes even more romantic at night, when the city lights up.

Myeongdong

One of the most vibrant places in Seoul by night is Myeongdong. This bustling area is known for its many shops and Korean street snacks.

Cheonggye Stream

Another great evening activity is to take a walk along Cheonggye-cheon (Cheonggye stream). This photo-worthy spot was built as part of an urban renewal project and only takes about 1.5 hours to visit. 

Whatever you choose, an evening in Seoul won’t disappoint!
