SEOUL 

--------------------

• 63 Building

For a long time 63 Building used to be tallest building in Korea (63 floors). It’s no longer the tallest, but it still has the world’s tallest art gallery, a great view of the Han River, and a shiny gold outside for people to saw “Oooo pretty!” (Lots of other stuff too.) How to get there: Yeouido Station (Line 5 – Exit 5 – Free Shuttle Bus). Daebang Station (Line 1 – Exit 4 – Free Shuttle Bus). Yeouinaru Station (Line 5 – Exit 4 – Free Shuttle Bus).

 

• Cheong Gyecheong

This used to be a stream for 3rd world Koreans to dump doo doo in (no seriously). But now it’s been transformed into one of the prettiest places in Seoul! Highly recommended if you like to just chill out (aka everyone except your high-strung boss).
How to get there: Gwanghwamun Station (Line 5 – Exit 5) (Many others, but we recommend starting here.)

 

• King Seojeon Monument

Most famous for creating the Korean writing system (Hangul), King Sejong the Great is the man! We’re going to go out on a limb and say he’s probably the most famous person in the history of Korea (take that Psy!). Don’t forget to visit the (semi-secret) museum underneath the monument.
How to get there: Gwanghwamun Station (Line 5 – Exit 2). Gyeongbokgung Station (Line 3 – Exit 5).

 

• Admiral Yi Shu Shin Monument

Admiral Yi ranks right up there with King Sejong the Great as one of the coolest figures in the history of Korea. He’s on the 100 won coin because of his status as an all time badass legendary hero of Korean military history. Even if this stuff doesn’t interest you, you can’t deny that his statue is one badass statue!
How to get there: Gwanghwamun Station (Line 5 – Exit 2). Gyeongbokgung Station (Line 3 – Exit 5).

 

• Banpodaegyo

Banpodaegyo (Banpo Bridge) is the world’s longest fountain bridge. It holds many different types of shows from morning to night, but the most beautiful show is the light show during the night! So bring your date, sit back, and enjoy the light show!
How to get there: Dongjak Station (동작역, Seoul Subway Line 4), go out of exit 1 or 2. You can’t miss it, you will be on a bridge.
