Dongdaemun

Visually stunning from every angle, the curvaceous spaceship-looking complex was designed by the late Zaha Hadid and is straight out of your sci-fi fantasies. This is the one building in Seoul you must absolutely visit and it’s pretty easy to get to. Wander around its different levels to find galleries, event spaces, shops, museums and lawns that afford sleek views of this aluminum and concrete architectural gem.
