Seocho Traveler Support Center
The Seocho Tourist Information Center near Gangnam Station Exit 9 previously provided multilingual visitor services and cultural information, but Seoul Tourism's official page now states it will be temporarily closed through December 2026, with reopening expected in January 2027.
- Address
- 1318-7 Seocho-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul
- Nearby transit
- About 60 m from Exit 9 of Gangnam Station on Line 2/Shinbundang.
- Hours
- TEMPORARILY CLOSED through December 31, 2026 (expected). Reopening planned for January 2027, exact date not confirmed. The historic 10:00–19:00, free-entry schedule is not applicable while closed. Tourism assistance: 1330. Check the current notice before visiting.
The Visit Seoul official page revised on October 13, 2026 explicitly announces closure through the end of December 2026 and a planned January 2027 reopening. Older listed hours of 10:00–19:00 and 'open year-round' do not override the temporary closure notice.
Why go
Do not plan an in-person visit during the temporary closure. After reopening, check whether visitor services and the second-floor Korean music experience space are available. For current tourism assistance, call 1330.
