Konkuk University (Kondae) & Ttukseom: what to see and do
A youthful university district of food streets and bars, with a riverside park on the Han River a short walk south.
Known for
- Common Ground, a shopping mall built from shipping containers
- Kondae's Chinese lamb skewer (yangkkochi) alley
- Ttukseom Hangang Park, for river views and picnics
What to do
Eat lamb skewers in the Chinese food alley, wander Common Ground, and then walk to Ttukseom for an evening by the river.
Tip: It is a student area, so evenings after dinner are the liveliest. Ttukseom has good sunset views over the water.
