Top 10 Sights & Landmarks in Mapo-gu, South Korea
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.

This is the nexus of Seoul’s youth and indie culture. Funky boutiques, avant-garde galleries, and great nightclubs are this neighborhood’s mainstay. Come here for a fascinating look at the other side of traditionally conservative Korean culture.

This place never sleeps! It is filled with mostly teenagers and young adults as there is a variety of things to do here from street shopping, eating real good Korean bbq and bingsu, taking booth photos and drinking/clubbing. You can be sure to see youths awake even at 5am and during the weekends even restaurants are packed at that hour. Definitely worth checking it out if you need supper and like the night scene.

Love coming here to watch Seoul FC play. It's super easy to get tickets - just come 30 mins before and get them from the ticket booth. Stadium is huge, with so many empty seats - not to worry! Seats aren't allocated, so you can choose where to sit. I only like to sit behind the goal, to get involved with the songs and fans. To be honest, the quality of football is often pretty poor, but it's still super fun. The attendance was around 15,000 last match, which feels like less because of all the empty seats, but if you're in the section where everyone is singing it's great anyway. Such a novelty to bring as much booze and food into the stands as you like - 'aint like that in England! Anyway, good times. If you're in Seoul for a while, and like football then definitely worth it. Well easy to get to and cheap enough (14,000 원). Up the Seoul!

Easy to get to on subway. As i arrived church goer invited me into mass and found reading in english on her phone for me. Very welcoming and sweet. She then took me to crypt where people were honoring martyrs and then swept me to museum where i was greeted by a a wonderful knowledgeable guide. Wonderful serene grounds , plenty of gardens for quiet reflection. I then walked down river to mapo area full of nice restaurants. Will return.
