Seoul sightseeing comes alive at night

After sunset is Seoul’s best time. Dongdaemun’s fashion malls stay lit past midnight, and street musicians start up in Hongdae. The night view from N Seoul Tower is a must.

Hungry? Try mung-bean pancakes at Gwangjang Market or the street stalls of Myeongdong. Many cafés in Seongsu stay open late — one more cup after the pop-ups.

What to wear in Seoul in November

November in Seoul averages about 12°C by day and 4°C in the mornings and evenings — a knit and a warm outer layer works well.
