2025 Gwangjin-gu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

#createwithtrip Korea's first pop-up store built with shipping containers, Common Ground is approximately 5,300 square meters in scale, made up of 200 large containers and is capable of transforming into different structures or moving into different places. The largest container shopping mall in the world.

#Ho-kang-seu “Namu Hotel” designed by architect Jae-heon Jeong, who was selected as the winner of the 2021 Korea Institute of Architects’ ‘Best 7 Buildings of the Year’ Namu Hotel opened in December 2021 and is currently operating with various room types. In February 2022, the ‘Square: Penthouse 1’ room where I stayed became available for reservation. It is located on the 7th floor, the top floor of the hotel, and is a two-story room. The first floor consists of a terrace, living room, and bathroom, and the second floor consists of a shower room, makeup room, bedroom, and terrace. The thing I liked the most was the terrace on the second floor. You can enjoy a hot spa in the jacuzzi even in winter, and I really liked the view of the Han River. 😉 And I liked that Namu Hotel blocks the surrounding crowded cityscape and only preserves the necessary parts, while providing a private terrace for each room for relaxation and reflection👍 Namu Hotel used the Danish handmade faucet brand ‘vola’ for the shower room, washbasin faucet, and shower, and it was really interesting that each room used its own color to express its identity. 😮 In addition, the Square Room has 🔊 Geneva Speakers 📡5G Wi-Fi 💧 2 San peliegrino bottled water and sparkling water & soda 🚿 Waterfall Shower system 🛁 Raindance Shower system 🧥 Coat check service etc. 😚 I’ve been to many hotels, but Namu Hotel is more than a 5-star hotel suite. It seemed to have a beautiful interior and condition. A hotel that made me think a lot about how beautiful the building and interior could be. I think it would be good for many people to experience the beauty that cannot be captured in photos. 🧡 Highly recommended for a vacation!! * The room type in the photo is ‘Square: Penthouse 1’ and the price for one night is 360,000 won as of Friday. Place: 12, Achasan-ro 76-ga-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul Time: everyday, 24 hours

⏰ Business Hours 11:00 - 21:30 Closed on Mondays I discovered a very pretty cafe! 😍 It had such a cozy and emotional vibe, and the atmosphere was just beautiful! 🫶✨ The coffee, tea, meat pies, and terrine were all so delicious, and each type of meat pie was tasty. Among them, I highly recommend the sweet bulgogi! 🍖💖 You can smell the tea before ordering, which was really nice. I tried the White Temple tea and it was perfect both in aroma and taste! ☕🌸 And the surprising part is that they also serve cocktails! 🍸 There are various kinds of cocktails, and they were really satisfying. 🥹 📍Duat 61, Jayang-ro 15-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, 2nd Floor

⏰Business Hours 11:00 - 21:30 Closed on Mondays I stumbled upon this place by chance and decided to check it out. I really liked the calm atmosphere and the serene interior. ✨ The detailed objects are so pretty, and the latte perfectly matches my taste! ☕ Just sitting quietly and having a cup of coffee is pure healing. 😊 They also serve cocktails, so it's a great place to enjoy multiple drinks in one spot. 🍸 Be sure to try the cocktails with pie! 🥧 It's not a noisy place, so it's good for focusing on something simple, and it's also a great place to have a chat with friends. 🙃 📍Duart 2nd Floor, 61 Jayang-ro 15-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul

If you need a place to take a break from your busy daily life, I recommend “Bookstore Gozunok” located in Gunja^3^ As the name suggests, it seems like a place where you can enjoy a cup of tea while reading a book in a quiet and cozy atmosphere!📚✨ Each seat was comfortable and cozy, which was even better, and there were a lot of books next to me!

Crispy Tonkatsu Restaurant 📍Sangsang Katsu Located near Konkuk University Station, Sangsang Katsu is a place that reinterprets Japanese-style tonkatsu with a Korean twist. The interior is clean and cozy, making it suitable for solo dining or casual meals with friends. I tried the Hire Katsu and Sangsang Special Katsu! The thick tonkatsu was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The flavor of the meat was rich, and the batter was not greasy, allowing for a clean taste. The tonkatsu sauce had a sweet and sour balance that complemented the savory meat well. The miso soup and rice served alongside were basic but solid, and the accompanying side dishes like salad and kimchi were appropriate. Above all, the quality for the price is excellent, making it an affordable meal option for students and office workers. However, there might be a wait during meal times, so it's best to visit with some time to spare. If you want to experience Japanese-style tonkatsu near Konkuk University, Sangsang Katsu is a satisfying choice. 📖Menu I Tried Hire Katsu Sangsang Special Katsu Mini Curry Address: 1st Floor, 10 Neungdong-ro 13-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul Operating Hours: Mon-Sun: 11:30 AM - 9:00 PM (Break Time: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM) Last Order: 8:30 PM Address: 1st Floor, 10 Neungdong-ro 13-gil, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul Atmosphere/Facilities: Cozy atmosphere Key Point: Crispy tonkatsu Average Price per Person: 15,000 KRW Rating: 5 stars
