Nearby
Myeongdong Shopping Street
Central Seoul's best-known shopping district for cosmetics, fashion and tax-refund shopping. Treat it as a neighborhood rather than a single mall because individual stores keep their own hours.
Myeongdong Cathedral
It publishes no visiting hours, because it is a parish rather than an attraction — what it publishes is a Mass timetable. The one clock that does cover the site belongs to 1898 Plaza, the archdiocese-run arcade under the approach, open 09:00 to 22:00 every day but two.
Myeongdong Underground Shopping Center
An underground arcade of 61 shops linking the Lotte Department Store main branch to Myeongdong's main street. The passage stays open around the clock even when the shops do not. Myeongdong has a second arcade with a near-identical name: the one attached to Myeongdong Station is the Myeongdong Station Underground Shopping Center, a separate 70-shop arcade under Toegye-ro.
Myeongdong Kyoja
A kalguksu house open since 1966. The menu runs to four dishes and it takes no reservations. The main branch moved to Toegye-ro in 2026 and now stands in front of exit 8 of Myeongdong Station.
