A picnic and a trip in Jamsil, the hottest hangout of eastern Seoul
Jamsil is located in southeastern Seoul. When you exit Seoul Subway’s Jamsil Station, the first thing you will is the massive Lotte World Tower. Head up to the SEOUL SKY within Lotte World Tower, the tallest building in South Korea and the fifth tallest building in the world. The view here is simply outstanding, so much more on clear days, you can even see Songdo of Incheon. Then, head down to Songpa Naru Park (Seokchon Lake), the beloved local hangout, and Songnidan Street, home to great restaurants and cafes. Here, you can get amazing desserts and coffee at cafes in old residential buildings. If you are interested in art and culture, head to the Seoul Olympic Museum of Art within the Olympic Park. The museum showcases works by famous artists from around the world.

Introduction

* Cha Eun-woo (ASTRO) (Visit Korea Year 2023-2024 Honorary Ambassador)
Cha Eun-woo, Korea's next-gen trendsetter, is a global celebrity whose influence can be felt in the music, film, K-drama and advertisements, and photography industries. Despite his busy schedule, Cha is an avid fan of short trips. Today, we hear his recommendations on Jamsil and Songnidan Street. “When I think of eastern Seoul, Jamsil always comes to mind. I often head to Jamsil for a short trip and clear my mind. Jamsil, after all, is where you can find many different things to do and enjoy, from the view of Seoul from Lotte World Tower SEOUL SKY to the beautiful cherry blossoms from Songpa Naru Park and Seokchon Lake, and Songnidan Street’s harmony of old and new. If you like books and enjoy a quiet ambience, the Seoul Olympic Museum of Art is a good place to be. I think Jamsil is so beloved because you can do everything there, from tourism to good food, shopping, and activities.”
Recommended travel tips

Oh, Linzi

Located in a quiet residential district on Songnidan Street, this cafe epitomizes the refined sensibilities of today’s Korean cafes. Its signature menu is the egg sandwich, a fluffy creation with a unique sauce. Its fame means waiting is a must, and visitors’ time in the cafe is also limited (depending on weekdays & weekends).

19, Songpa-daero 48-gil, Songpa-gu, Seoul (서울특별시 송파구 송파대로48길 19)
