2. When walking to Myeongdong, decide on your destination first.
You can walk south or west to Myeongdong Cathedral or Myeongdong Shopping Street, but depending on your destination, Exit 6 of Myeongdong Station may be closer. The entrance to the underground shopping mall may be closed late at night, so check the above-ground route.
Decide before departure
Decide what is the center of your itinerary: dinner, a cafe, an exhibition, or a trip to Myeongdong. In Euljiro, each store has different entrances and operating hours, so it is best to check the official notice.
Subway routes vary depending on departure time, size of luggage, and travel speed of companions, even for the same destination. Enter your departure station and exact destination address into the map app, and compare routes with different numbers of transfers and walking sections instead of just looking at the recommended route.
How to read recommended routes
When transferring from Line 2 or Line 3 to Euljiro 3-ga Station, check the next station and destination, and on the ground, select the exit according to the store address. If you plan to walk to nearby Myeongdong or Chungmuro, group it into a one-way course.
When looking at the sign at the station, check the line color and number first, and after arriving at the platform, be sure to check the next station and destination one more time. Even on the same route, if you take a train in the opposite direction, travel time increases significantly.
Points to save time in the field
For stores in alleys, the building number and floor are often important. After leaving the exit, use the map app to check the names of buildings and identify brightly lit main streets at night.
Especially at large transfer stations, it is quicker to stop briefly and check the signs and map app rather than just following the direction people are moving right after getting off. Instead of looking for directions in front of stairs or escalators, move out of the way and check.
In this case, change the path
Euljiro's business hours vary by location and may also have different closing days. Don't just visit based on search results, check the official channel on the day.
If there are significant on-site variables such as construction, events, rain, or commute times, the usual shortest route may not be the most convenient route. If the last train is close or an appointment time is important, save alternative transfer stations and taxi pick-up locations in advance.
Pre-departure checklist
If you save the items below before departure, you will avoid having to search again in a hurry at the station.
- Address and floor number of store/exhibition
- Transfer direction for lines 2 and 3
- Directions from the exit to the first location
- Notice of business hours, reservations and closures
Please give priority to official guidance on the day.
