Start near Seoul National University subway station on the west side of Gwanaksan, and descend near Gwacheon Station in the east (or vice versa). At the Hangang Night Market, you can shop for unique and handcrafted items from independent sellers, watch performances, and fill your belly at one of the many food trucks at the festival. It runs up and down the streets of Myeongdong, so it’s best to just wander up and down the alleyways, until you see something that strikes your fancy. Parts of the DMZ MUST be visited on a guided tour, due to security clearance


Although it is at its busiest in the day-time and most food stalls close in the early afternoon, a handful of Gwangjang Market restaurants stay open until around 10pm. That said, for the full street food experience, it is best to visit Gwangjang Market by 19성인 day. Gwangjang Market is Seoul’s most famous street food market, a maze of market stalls and late night restaurants selling some of the best food you’ll likely taste in Seou


Now, try to picture that with big-ass speakers that blast house music, and it feels like you are raving in a time machine to the future. The sound system is on par with the best and there are neon flashing lights coming from every possible direction. The high-energy crowd is mostly mid-20s to 30s and the vibe is cool-but-casual. The dance floor has huge bouncing balls and the light show/blasting speaker combination is mesmerizin


Once one the busiest and most popular areas of Itaewon, World Food Street and the ‘International Tourist Zone’ has slowly started to reopen gradually since the awful events of the Halloween tragedy in 2022. Since its first edition in 2019, the DDP light show in Dongdaemun has attracted over 1 million visitors and is one of the most popular free, evening activities in Seoul. One of the more unusual Seoul 19성인 at night activities, Noryangjin Fish Market is open 24 hours a day to buy fresh fish and have it cooked upstairs in one of the numerous restaurants on level 2. There are several flagship shops to check out in the neighbourhood and popular places include Olive Young, Nature Republic, Holika Holika, Skin Food, Laneige, Innisfree and StyleNanda 3C


If you are a gourmand with fastidious tastes not only for food but also for alcoholic beverages, it’s time to hit up one of the most famous bars in Seoul. In addition to its covert and mysterious concept, Alice Cheongdam offers one of the finest cocktails in Seoul. The bar was ranked number one in the Korea Best Bar Awards 2017 and 11th in "Asia’s 50 best Bars" in 2016. In the back alley of the "Cheongdam-dong luxury good street," look for a round sign with a rabbit drinking win


Evening is the perfect time to visit Olympic 19성인 Park, specifically the World Peace Gate area where you’ll see the Flag Plaza and gate lit up. If you want to experience going to a club or bar in Seoul, Hongdae is another alternative to Itaewon. I’ve also walked on this bridge in Seoul at night where you can see the light show and water flowing above yo


The views of Seoul at night and the surrounding park are stunning plus there are two levels to explore, one with a rather nice cafe looking out over Seoul. No matter where you are in Seoul, you'll find rooftop bars with a great selection of wines and creative cocktails. The atmosphere is lively, making it a great place to socialise, relax, and enjoy the city lights. Itaewon is primarily known for its bars and nightclubs, but if you’re looking to enjoy beer, soju, or somak (beer and soju mixed), I can recommend two pochas for yo


If you're in the mood for a more sweet option, there's also Oreo bingsu on the menu. As we wandered those neon-lit alleys, we spotted a barbecue joint with a drunk dude passed out on the curb, surrounded by his concerned friends. I’ll often find a spot at the communal table, where I can rub elbows with a diverse crowd of locals and fellow travelers, all united in their love for this crispy, juicy culinary masterpiece. The chicken is served piping hot, its 19성인 golden-brown exterior giving way to succulent, flavor-packed meat, and I can never resist the temptation to dip each bite into the addictive, tangy-sweet soy sauce. One of my favorite spots in Hongdae is a cozy little hole-in-the-wall that serves up some of the most mind-blowingly delicious Korean fried chicken I’ve ever had the pleasure of devourin


The crème brûlée trio made with Korean traditional sauces is another such recipe that defies existing concepts and offers to your palate flavors unlike any before. Having received one star from Michelin in 2017 and ranked 15 on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants in the same year, Mingles has proved its strength in innovation and their influence in the local food scene. Baker’s Table is a German-owned bakery in Gyeongnidan that doubles as a café and restaurant. The crunchy Vollkorn sourdough is a favorite, and just try to leave 19성인 without picking up a slice or two of the German butter cake. On weekends, there is no such thing as brunch time—the tables are full all day, as people come in and out for the generous portions of hearty breakfast dishes, heavily-stuffed sandwiches and soup
