Strawberry Nights & Street Bites: A Spring Walk Through Myeong-dong
Spring transforms Seoul’s Myeong-dong into a lively night market filled with bright lights, street food, and fresh strawberries. Vendors line the streets from late afternoon until around 11 PM, selling strawberry tanghulu, cream-filled waffles, and skewered meats. Dessert cafés and cat cafés stay open late, offering a break from the crowds. Seasonal strawberry treats are especially popular from March to April. And with six Olive Young K-beauty stores, there’s plenty of health and beauty products to shop for too.
Between bites, visitors can explore beauty shops, small boutiques, and quick-service salons. Myeong-dong blends food, shopping, and nightlife into one compact, energetic district that’s easy to walk and constantly changing.
