Evening is the perfect time to visit Olympic Park, specifically the World Peace Gate area where you’ll see the Flag Plaza and gate lit up. I’ve also walked on this bridge in Seoul at night where you can see the light show and water flowing above you. Banpo Hangang Park is best visited in the evening or right before sunset and when you can watch the rainbow fountain show, which is running only during summer months. There’s lots of viewing decks to see Seoul at night, including the Locks of Love area. If you continue walking south of the fortress trail at Naksan Park, you’ll end up at Heunginjimun Park, where the famous Dongdaemun Gate is. Most of these sites can be enjoyed during the day too, but some are even better in the evenin

Last month, the country also lifted all COVID-19 social distancing rules including the business curfew introduced in March 2020, in an effort to return to pre-pandemic lif


Both of them are like halfway between a bar and a club, so you’ll have a vibrant atmosphere where you can dance, but can still sit down and chat as you drink. Mixed drinks tend to go for between 5,000 to 10,000 won, and beer for right around the same price. Both are centrally-located in the heart of Hongdae’s nightlife district, so it’s easy to get from place to place. Deoksugung is right across the street from Seoul Plaza, so it’s an easy one to visit while you’re wandering the 동양야동 city street


The trick is knowing which vantage points offer the best payoff, and which ones are actually worth the splurge. For something more social, head to Jin Ok Hwa Halmae Wonjo Dakhanmari (진옥화할매원조닭한마리) near Dongdaemun. This whole chicken hotpot place gets busy late into 동양야동 the evening, with three generations of Seoul families flocking here for their signature dish. You cook the chicken at your table, everyone shares, and it’s one of those experiences that feels quintessentially Korean without trying too har

Taxis aren’t too unreasonable, but a short walk home is preferably to a $20 cab ride in any regard. There are plenty of great hostels in and around the Hongdae area. I’ve heard rave reviews of Zzzip Guesthouse, and I also stayed at Time Travelers’ Party Hostel. Each hostel has a different vibe, so if you’re looking for a more social atmosphere, I’d recommend Time 동양야동 Travelers and Zzzi
