If you’re planning a trip to Korea but feel unsure about how to organize your itinerary or where to go, why not start by visiting a tourist information center located in the heart of Seoul? Seoul offers a wide range of resources for travelers just like you.
Today, I’d like to introduce the Seoul Tourism Plaza, located near Jonggak Station. Here, you can find general tour information as well as medical tourism guidance, which is becoming increasingly popular in Seoul. The plaza also features a variety of cute and well-designed Korean tourism goods, making it a fun place to browse and shop.
Seoul Tourism Plaza Information
- Address: 1st Floor, Samil Building, 85 Cheonggyecheon-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul
- Nearest Station: Jonggak Station, Exit 4
- Opening Hours: 9:00 AM ~ 6:00 PM (Closed on weekends)
After exiting Jonggak Station through Exit 4, it’s about a 5-minute walk. You’ll soon spot a building like the one shown in the photos.

Right in front of the building, there is also a small tourist information booth where you can pick up various travel pamphlets and brochures.
The Seoul Tourism Plaza is located on the first floor of the building. Once inside, head to the left and you’ll see a space that looks like a shop. It’s filled with Seoul and Korea themed design products, which makes browsing quite enjoyable. I found myself spending some time just looking around.
Nearby, you’ll also notice an information desk, as shown in the photos.
If you have any questions about traveling in Seoul, don’t hesitate to ask the staff- they’re there to help. Right next to it is a medical consultation desk, which can be especially useful since medical tourism in Seoul is growing, yet reliable information can sometimes be hard to find.
Along one wall, you’ll see messages and notes left by visitors from all over the world. Reading through this guest message area was surprisingly fun and heartwarming.
Restrooms in the building are open to visitors as well, so feel free to use them if needed.
This location is also very close to Cheonggyecheon Stream, which I introduced in a previous post. Gwanghwamun Square is nearby as well, and if you continue walking a bit further, you can even reach Gyeongbokgung Palace. It’s a great idea to combine a visit to the information center with these nearby attractions.
