3. Byeokjae Station

Literally one of the most scenic spots to take couple photos. 
Or just get amazing photos in any season. It's located on a defunct train track literally off the beaten path. 
You should locate the tracks when you get off of the bus and walk for about five minutes until you get through the tunnel. You can also visit the abandoned train station for some cool shots. 
I recommend eating at the nearby Starfield Mall while in the area. 
Do bring a tripod and sunset is the most magical time.

4. 63 Building Sky Art


The Sky Art is my favorite part of the 63 Building. 
If you go on a clear day, around sunset, you'll be blown away by the view. 
At around 12,000 won it's a great deal. 







5. Seoul Botanic Garden

If it's an especially cold day, the Seoul Botanic Garden is a lovely warm garden with beautiful paths. It's only open for a short while more before it closes to finish development.
Right now it's free, so get there quickly!

6. Yangjae Flower Market

An absolute gem, the Yangjae Flower Market, is the perfect place to handle all of your flower needs this Valentine's Day! It's a wholesale market, but they are more than willing to sell to individuals. They have gorgeous flowers, plants and succulents at very reasonable rates. 
Head there early, before 12, for the good ones!





7. Coex Starfield Library

The Starfield Library holds a dear place in my heart. It's a lovely free library with delightful golden shelves and plenty of seating for couples. It will satisfy your Beauty and the Beast fantasies. While I know Coex can be insanely busy, it always feels extra magical walking through this space. 
I recommend grabbing a slice of cake at Billy Angel after your walk through the library. (Located on the terrace.)

8. L'escape Hotel

Now a lovely hotel getaway sounds like the perfect way to spend Valentine's Day. This hotel's rooms are set a luxury price, if you're interested. However, if you don't have a big budget stay-cation in mind, I'd recommend going for the afternoon tea set. It's reasonably priced at 20,000 and very charming.
Sure to add some romance to anyone's day.

9. Cafe Hanyakbang

There's something so mysterious about these collections of cafes and pastry shops hidden down the alleys of Euljiro. It makes for a rather delightful feeling when you discover these shops and it's perfect hidden gem to celebrate in with your loved one. Plenty of cozy corners to enjoy their delightful treats!

10. Cafe Gureum

This cafe has one of the best views of the river going, with one of the most inexpensive menus you can find. It's actually a convenience store! But with views like this, grab some coffee and chocolate and you won't be disappointed. 


Located up the stairs from Dongjak Subway Station exit 1.
