10 Specialty Museums in Jung-gu That You Shouldn't Miss

January 10, 2022 Mikaela Didonna

Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

My friends wanted to take pictures with G-dragon and korean drama stars so we went there and it turned out to be really fun. Of course for foreign Hallyu fans the experience is mostly attractive because of the korean celebreties, but in reality world stars are just as interesting. The fact that you can become a part of everything is also a plus. So many games and activities, in my opinion a very nice way to spend time with friends and get hundreds of picures. Their gift shop has official goods of korean celebrities which is also quite handy for those who is interested in this kind of thing. I would definitely recommend.

Culture Station Seoul 284

Culture Station Seoul 284 is a dynamic and open multi-disciplinary cultural space that is accessible to everyone. The former Seoul Station had been a major stage in modern and contemporary Korean history and a gateway for transportation and commerce for almost a century. After its restoration back to its original appearance, it was officially launched in August of 2011 as a space for diverse artistic and cultural creation and exchange. The official name, which combines its historic, spatial, and urban symbolism , was selected through a national open call. By combining the notion of a cultural space with the old Seoul Station's historic site number 284, the name embodies the concepts of preserving its appearance and value as a historic site while simultaneously cultivating the meaning of the station as a place of various cultural intersections.

Hello Kitty Island in N Seoul Tower

Reviewed By DinaNoh

Suitable for Hello Kitty fans or parents with young children. Plus if you're visiting during the cold season, it's a nice place to warm up after going up the observatory tower before tackling the cold weather outside. Its not a big place. But the setup is definitely worth for picture taking. Plus its cheap too!
