DDP │ Dongdaemun Design Plaza

A true masterpiece. Beautiful all day, but I love it better at night with all the lights. Best to go around 6pm so you'll have time to first visit the museum inside and then just take photos outside after. I believe the museum closes at 8pm, but you can stay on the grounds until late at night. The exhibits change all the time so there's always something new to see here. #awesomepic #couplestrip #deliciousfood

Address: 281 Eulji-ro, Jung-gu, Seoul (서울특별시 중구 을지로 281 (을지로7가)) Directions: Go to the Dongdaemun History & Culture Park Station and go out of exit 1. Dongdaemun Design Plaza has interesting art pieces around the plaza. Inside is a museum with special exhibits at times. Right outside is the Seoul City Tour double decker bus which you can buy a ticket for to enjoy sites around the area. DDP is definitively worth a visit, especially if you are interested in design and arts. Dependent on what exhibition will be held during your visit, but even without any interesting exhibitions, you will be in awe of this space.

Futuristic public park

DDP is a public park designed by Zaha Hadid and incorporates futuristic elements, while preserving some historic elements. Essentially it almost looks like an spaceship in the middle of Seoul, but upon closer inspection it works nicely by placing itself into the landscape of the surrounding area. There are designer lounges, a museum, a cafe as well as art halls housed inside the funky building. However I think you truly get an idea of the scope and scale of the building. The surrounding park is also a very relaxing place to rest and to stroll around. You'll find traces of the Seoul City wall incorporated into the park as well as pieces from the former Dongdaemun Stadium. Come at night to see it all lit up and in seemingly even more mystical light. #park #design #travel #explore #ddp #seoul #korea

The restaurant is located in the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP). This large, unconventional building resembles a silver flying saucer. Dinner is served from 17:00. Considering its location in Dongdaemun, it offers good value for money.

Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP)

A new genre of digital art exhibition is being held at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP) +* The main artwork is called, Lucid Dream (Jagakmong): Five Colors. It's a kind of "metabio-art" that showcases media art in the metaverse with the goal of conveying a message of hope around the world. In the DDP Light Garden, 2m-high lighted trees have been installed in collaboration with American Express. If you clap your hands or shout a message of hope, the trees come alive.
