Séoul la nuit : les meilleurs activités
Annyeonghaseyo! Seoul, the capital of South Korea, is a city that never sleeps. You'll be surprised to see that stores stay open until late at night, reflecting the frenetic pace of work in this metropolis. Safety is also a priority here. You'll find surveillance cameras on almost every street corner, so you can feel safe at all times when you're out and about in Seoul at night.
If you're a night owl or partygoer, you'll be delighted to know that certain areas of the city, such as Hongdae, Itaewon and Gangnam, sont particulièrement animés la nuit. Ces zones sont célèbres pour leur vie nocturne, avec une multitude de boîtes de nuit, de bars et de restaurants qui restent ouverts jusqu’aux petites heures du matin.
Unmissable night-time activities
NSEOUL Tower
Visit NSEOUL Tower is a must for anyone visiting Seoul. Perched on Namsan Mountain, the tower offers a 360-degree panorama of the entire city. At night, the tower is illuminated, making it a sight not to be missed. You can even buy a love lock and hang it on the fence for a lasting souvenir.

The Lotte Tower, South Korea's tallest skyscraper, also offers breathtaking views of the city. Located in the heart of Seoul, this tower is an excellent place to see the city come alive at night. The top floor is equipped with a glass floor, for those with a strong heart.
Han River
The Han River is the beating heart of Seoul. At night, the bridges over the river are illuminated, creating a magical spectacle. Numerous parks along the river offer space for a nocturnal picnic. The park Banpo in particular has a bridge that lights up at night and offers a spectacle of fountains.

Le karaoké est une autre activité nocturne très prisée. Connu localement sous le nom de « Noraebang« , ces salles de karaoké sont souvent ouvertes jusqu’à tard et offrent une grande variété de chansons, des hits K-pop aux classiques du rock.

Le marché nocturne de Myongdong est un paradis pour les gourmands. Vous y trouverez une grande variété de streetfood, des brochettes de poulet épicées aux crêpes coréennes remplies de miel et de noix. Les prix sont étonnamment abordables, avec la plupart des plats coûtant moins de 10 000 wons.
Strolling the streets of Seoul at night
But above all, what I recommend most is simply strolling the streets of Seoul at night. The atmosphere is so special, the neon lights on the signs, the quietness of certain districts contrasting with the sound of crickets in summer, it's an indescribable experience. The Cheonggyecheon, a river in the heart of the city, is particularly pretty at night, with its illuminations and little bridges.
