10 Things to do in Yeoksam-dong That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

Seoul Escape is probably my favorite escape room in Korea. Their hints and clues (which are written in both english and korean) are so easy to understand and their rooms are always so much fun and super interactive! I’ll definitely come back again with more friends to finish season 3.

Having traded the hippie vibe for a racier Thrash Metal image, Woodstock dazzles with its friendly service and 'out there' quality. It was a lot of fun to have been there of an evening recently and i had a truly great time.

Super fun! I signed up a day in advance, so we were able to join the 30 minute history lesson in English and sample 5 liquors (soju, yakju, makgeolli). We also purchased many bottles to bring home for friends and family. It was helpful to taste the bottles in advance and ask for recommendations. Would definitely recommend! Really easy to find - 10min walk from the Gangnam Station.

I have visited 2 times in 3 years and had the good fortune to meet some of the great staff that represent TKD in Korea and in the development of the sport. I was presented with a visitor certificate on arrival and hosted through a short tour. The museum was very interesting and my host was able to translate some very interesting elements of the sports history for me. The area also hosts a number of TKD stores and you can pick up good quality gear and training accessories. If visiting, plan to attend on any day except Monday, 9which is the TKD demonstration teams day off).

I’m not an adrenaline junkie, whatsoever and although I have passed this place a number of times; I have not tried it until recently. I went with a friend and seeing his enthusiasm; I decided to try it. We got the unlimited pass for three hours and had so much fun. I tried about 4 or 5 different games whereas he tried about 8. The staff speaks English. There is a cafe on the bottom floor if you get tired and free popcorn by the theater on the 3rd floor. I’m so glad I had tried it and I will be back in the future. Also I was a bit hesitant because I wear glasses and makeup and wasn’t sure how that would affect the VR gear, but had no problem. We went in a weekday in the mid day..it got quite busy after 3 pm though.
