The modern business and nightlife centre of the song "Gangnam Style", with glass towers, big crossings and restaurant streets.
Known for
- Gangnam-daero's skyscrapers and busy crossings
- Gangnam Station Underground Shopping Center
- Korean barbecue and fried chicken restaurants on the side streets
What to do
See the towers and crossings, shop in the underground arcade, and pick a Korean barbecue or fried chicken place for dinner. Take the subway to Sinsa for something calmer.
Tip: Evening rush hour and weekend nights are very crowded. Restaurants fill up early in the evening, so go before the peak.
