[2025 Seoul Attraction] Travel Guide for Myeong-dong (Updated May)

If you can only choose one place in Seoul to experience the city’s vitality at night, it must be Myeongdong. After six o'clock in the evening, the already bustling street seemed to have pressed the acceleration button, the lights came on, the crowds of people emerged, and the whole street was as lively as a party! Every few steps I took, I would come across food stalls filled with fragrant aromas: grilled squid, spicy stir-fried rice cakes, egg cakes...the aroma captivated my soul. Not to mention the wide variety of beauty stores, clothing stores, and street performances - from singing and dancing to magic shows, you can't help but stop and applaud as you walk down the street. I particularly like Myeongdong at night, not only because of its liveliness and prosperity, but also because people from all over the world gather here to enjoy food, culture and music on the same street. The feeling is really touching. If you are busy visiting tourist attractions during the day, please be sure to save the night for Myeongdong. This is not only a shopping paradise, but also a place to feel the soul of Seoul. 📍Myeongdong Shopping Street Transportation｜Subway Line 4, Myeongdong Station, Exit 6 #Seoul Nightlife #Must-visit in Myeongdong #Seoul Free Travel #MyeongdongNights #Korea Snack Paradise #Myeongdong at Night #Seoul Street Charm #Travel Fireworks #Must-visit Places in Seoul #Korea Beauty Shopping #Where to Go in Korea at Night #Korea Travel Diary #April Good Places 2025

The Sounds of Apple Café is located at 47 Myeongdong 8-gil, Jung-gu. It is less than 100 meters away from Exit 10 of Myeongdong Station on Subway Line 4. It is very convenient! I came here specifically for brunch. The store is not very big, but it is very tastefully designed. There is a lot of white space on the walls and ceilings, wooden tables and chairs, and warm lighting. The overall atmosphere is gentle and comfortable, and you can smell the sweet scent of apples. I ordered a brunch platter which was savory and slightly sweet, super satisfying! The drink is refreshing and not bitter, perfect for a simple and tasty morning meal during a trip I recommend that you spend a leisurely morning in this shop when you come to Seoul.

Korean contact lenses are really beautiful and natural. This time, I specially arranged to visit the popular brand Hapa Kristin's Myeongdong flagship store, which is a stop that will make girls' hearts burst. The whole store is decorated in a super dreamy pink color. Walking in is like entering a pink bubble world! The key point is that this brand is endorsed by Jang Won-young! ! This alone is a plus. There are so many styles to try on at the site, including daily and monthly disposables, and the colors are also very suitable for Asians to wear. I was so excited that day that I quietly stocked up a large bag. They also gave me a small mirror and lens case. The packaging is also super cute, which is perfect as a souvenir. 📍2-1 Myeongdong 8-ga (open until 10:30pm, so you can have a quick snack before going clubbing) Business hours: AM 10:30 - PM 10:30 (open all year round) I recommend this to friends who love wearing colored contact lenses like me! ✨👁️ #MarchGoodPlaces2025

I originally just wanted to take a walk from Myeongdong MRT Station, but I accidentally turned into Myeongdong Cartoon Street. I didn’t expect that there were not only colorful painted walls full of childlike fun, but also a path surrounded by bright flowers. As the sun shines, a whole row of flower walls bloom, in pink, yellow, and orange, and each one looks as if someone has taken special and careful care of it. I wonder if someone has planted tenderness for this lovely alley. I felt really healed at that moment. My feet were sore after a long day of traveling, but the moment I saw these flowers, my heart suddenly became so soft. The walls of the comic street are also painted with Korean comic characters, which are a bit childish and retro. They are super beautiful when paired with flowers for photos. This is not a popular check-in spot, but if you happen to come to Myeongdong, don’t rush to just walk the streets, remember to look into the alleys, maybe you will find a little surprise of your own. 📍 Myeongdong Cartoon Street 🚇 Subway Line 4 Myeongdong Station Exit 3 and walk about 3 minutes 🕒 Open all day (free walking space) 📷 Tips for taking photos: It is recommended to come in the morning or evening when the light is softer, and the cartoon characters and flowers on the wall are a big plus! #Myeongdong Alley Adventure #Seoul Travel #Korea Niche Attractions #Comic Street #Alley Flower Scenery #Romantic Moments of Travel #My Travel Diary # #Korea Check-in Attractions #myeongdong#Good Places to Go in March 2025

Stepping into VICXXO, tucked away in the alleys of Myeongdong, feels like entering a dreamy paradise for girls! The entire store is filled with pastel tones and Korean-style healing-themed items. From adorable cushions, scented candles, and Korean lifestyle products to creative stationery, phone cases, and stickers, you'll want to take everything home. I originally just passed by, but once I stepped in, I couldn't stop myself. I circled the store three times and still didn't want to leave. The store's display is incredibly tasteful, and the prices are quite reasonable. No wonder I saw so many Korean girls walking out with bag after bag. 🛍 Recommended Items ✔️ Korean-style planners (thick paper, great for writing) ✔️ Pudding Bear keychains, mini cushions, phone cases ✔️ Scented products (perfect as thoughtful gifts) 🚇 How to Get There: Take Subway Line 4 to "Myeongdong Station," Exit 6. Walk for 3 minutes and enter the alley near UNIQLO.

Myeongdong is undoubtedly Seoul's most bustling shopping paradise. Whether it's Korean fashion, cosmetics, cute knick-knacks, or must-try foods, you'll find it all here! Walking through the streets of Myeongdong, you'll find popular Korean beauty stores everywhere, such as Olive Young, Innisfree, and 3CE. Beauty enthusiasts will not want to leave.

We bought egg cakes, which tasted very fragrant and highly recommended Whether you are traveling alone or with friends, strolling around Myeongdong Food Street, eating as you go, is the most authentic Seoul experience! 🍡Myeongdong Street 📍Myeongdong 2nd Street, Seoul 📍The 2nd anniversary celebration #MarchGoodPlaces2025

Can't wait to come to Myeongdong Comics Street! Although the street is not long, there are graffiti everywhere. The graffiti wall at the entrance is particularly suitable for taking pictures, especially in the morning, when the street is very quiet and it is particularly pleasant to roam around. The comics street is not big, there is a section of uphill road, and you can finish the tour in half an hour. Is Comic Street worth visiting? My suggestion is: It's also good to spend half an hour shopping and taking photos in Myeongdong 🚗Transportation Take the subway line 3 to Myeongdong Station, exit from exit 3 or 2, you will see a 711 convenience store, go in from the small road on the left 📍Check-in route Walk left from Exit 3 of Myeongdong Station and you will see the comic strip next to 7-Eleven. There are many colorful houses along the way, which is suitable for taking photos. You can see various cartoon patterns on the walls on both sides of the street. #MarchGoodPlaces2025 #SeoulMyeongdong #ComicStreet #KoreaShopping #SeoulTravel #KoreaTravel

A new Sichuan clay pot restaurant recently opened in Myeongdong, and I finally went there today! The location is right next to Bantian Yao Grilled Fish, very easy to find. The variety of casserole dishes here is really dazzling. We ordered five dishes, all served piping hot, and we couldn't help drooling at the sight. This dish is really delicious, with a strong spicy taste, just the right amount of spiciness, and a super satisfying taste! Every bite is filled with the unique spicy flavor of Sichuan cuisine, which really satisfies my stomach. Next time I come, I will definitely try other casserole dishes. I feel that each one is very unique. If you are in Korea, especially Myeongdong, and want to try authentic Sichuan cuisine, I highly recommend this restaurant! It will definitely leave you with endless aftertaste~ Address: 13 1, 7-street building, Myeong-dong #MarchGoodPlaces2025

Each person had their own space, so we were comfortable♪ ③ Convenience of the area around the hotel There was a convenience store and Olive Young near the hotel, so it was very convenient when we forgot to buy something or wanted to eat◎ There were many other good points, such as the cleanliness, the hotel staff being kind and able to speak Japanese, and there were many outlets and USB ports!
