While located outside of Seoul, many people visit to experience the festive spirit at the vast amusement park. Check out the Christmas Parade, as well as other rides and amusements. The Christmas Market is a festive gathering of fresh food, fantastic shopping, and unique entertainment.

Myeongdong Cathedral 

Last but certainly not least, the Myeongdong Cathedral is a gorgeous Christian church that’s adorned with lights and festive decorations. The cathedral is an amazing place to visit during Christmas because it has such a different atmosphere than most other places in Korea!

The best place to sense the Christmas holiday magic is a wonderfully illuminated Myeongdong Catholic Church in Seoul. The Midnight Mass at this location on December 24th is extremely popular among locals and tourists. Everyone gathers inside the church for traditional carols (and kimbap).
