Tips
- The underground shopping mall at Gangnam Station is huge and easy to get lost in — note the exit number you came from.
- For K-pop fans, the entertainment company buildings and K-pop merchandise shops are a short walk from Apgujeong and Cheongdam.
- Gangnam's restaurants tend to be pricier than Hongdae or Myeongdong, so check menus before sitting down.
- Visit the Starfield Library at COEX (a short subway ride away) as a free, air-conditioned break.
