What to do and see in Guro-gu, South Korea: The Best Things to do

December 27, 2021 Russell Mellin

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.

Gocheok Sky Dome

Reviewed By FaraMohd - Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Went here in January for Queen+Adam Lambert the Rhapsody Tour 2020. This place was easy to find. Took the subway from Myeondong and stop and Guil station (have to change 1 train) 1 stop before Guil. 23000 audience attended the event but the flow and traffic management was superb even after the show. Manage to catch the train back to Myeongdong within 15 minutes of waiting in the line. The stadium is huge and it is warm inside. So i can take off my winter jacket during the concert. Plenty of washroom around. So no need to walk far from the seat to visit the washroom. Got some outlet selling snacks and drinks in limited option. Had a blast watching QAL concert in Seoul.
