Top 7 Museums in Songpa-gu, South Korea

March 17, 2022 Fernanda Pittenger

Seoul is the business and cultural hub of South Korea, where skyscrapers tower over Buddhist temples. Take it all in from the N Seoul Tower, built atop a peak in Namsan Park. The teahouses and shops of Insadong give you a taste of Korean flavor, which you can further experience with a visit to the grounds and museums of Gyeongbokgung. UNESCO World Heritage Site Changdeokgung Palace is a fine example of authentic ancient architecture.

Lotte World Folk Museum

Reviewed By blossomluisa - Singapore, Singapore

It felt like we walked into a space from long long time ago. The Folk Museum showed different scenes across the different periods. Really awed by the amount of effort that was put into the displays. It's like a miniature museum that felt so real and if you have gone to Gyeongbokgung Palace before this, it really is amazing. If you want to have some food after the museum, I recommend the very traditional Korean Food after you exit the museum - Jumak. Refer to my last picture, I was really worried I wouldnt be able to satisfy my craving on Hobak Jeon (Korean Zucchini Fritters) but i found it at the window display of Jumak! If you happen to be looking for this as well, it's at Level 3 of Lotte World Adventure :)
