Jamsil Arena

잠실실내체육관

The indoor arena inside the Seoul Sports Complex, shared between basketball and concerts. Tickets print both 잠실실내체육관 and 잠실체육관 for it; they are one building.

Language

The outside of Jamsil Arena. Solar panels sit on its banded circular roof, event banners hang at the entrance, cars line the road in front and the ginkgo trees are just coming into leaf.

Nearby

The riverside park seen from above: a paved plaza in front, footpaths threading between planted beds and lawns, a cyclist on the path to the right, the river and a distant cable-stayed bridge on the left and apartment blocks beyond

Jamsil Hangang Park

A 4.8 km stretch of the south bank between Jamsil Railway Bridge and Yeongdong Bridge. At the weir under the south end of Jamsil Bridge runs Jamsil Eodo, a fish ladder with a 228 m observation deck and a viewing window, so you can watch fish work their way up past the barrage. The operator describes the park's nature-study garden as a popular spot for children's field study and family picnics.

SEA LIFE COEX Aquarium

Nobody should pay the gate price. The operator's own site sells the same adult ticket at a standing discount and drops it further on selected dates, so the number to plan around is the online one, booked before you arrive.

Starfield Library

It is a mall atrium, not a library in the quiet sense — there is no lending, and the photographs everyone comes for are of a space full of people. Power sockets and worktables make it a genuinely usable stop between COEX appointments.

Ttukseom Hangang Park

A Hangang park on the Jayang-dong riverside, and among the simplest of them to walk into — an exit of Jayang station on Line 7 opens straight onto the park.
