1. Lock your Love at the N Seoul Tower

Located in Namsam, N Seoul Tower is one of the most iconic destinations in Seoul, be it among the locals or tourists. And if you’re an avid K-drama fan, you’d probably already know that many K-dramas were also filmed here.

A restaurant with a beautiful rooftop view is always a bonus, so bring your date to a restaurant and indulge in a luxury meal.

After dinner you can enjoy a breathtaking night view of Seoul city from the observatory. Also, one thing not to miss when you get to the top of the tower: seal a promise of love and devotion at the Locks of Love Fence!

Besides watching a movie in cozy theatre with world-class beds, you can also enjoy fine dining that offers a variety of French and Italian cuisine. There's also a cafe including bakery items and desserts.

If amusement rides are not your thing, you can enjoy a leisure tour while learning some Korean culture at the Folk Museum showcasing 5,000 years of Korean history.

Located beside an arts university, Hongdae is a popular hang out location for local youths, with unique cafes, cosy galleries, fashion and beauty stores, clubs, art markets as well as gourmet eateries. It's best if you visit in the evening or at night since it's more happening during this time.
