Getting Around

This used to be the last stop on the express train from the airport. It marks the upper end of the most popular part of Gangnam-daero, and usually the easiest one to get in and out of when coming to this area or leaving it. There are lockers here if you need to store luggage before or after check in.

This is it, arguably the center of modern Korean culture. The main stuff to see is actually between here and Sinnonhyeon and fairly equally divided, but Teheran-ro often reminds people of Wall Street as much or more than Gangnam-daero makes people think of Times Square.

Food Scene

A landmark in the area, this is the place that started it all. Any taxi driver will also conveniently know this location, so it will be easier to get back to the apartment than many other places.

Arts & Culture

The market itself is actually very long and extends most of the way back to the apartment from where the marker is shown.

Essentials

영동홈마트 is a pretty good, close place to get basic groceries. There aren't any really big shops around for that based on what kind of an area this is.

Entertainment & Activities

In the heart of the main Gangnam district, this theater is a small taste of the local movie theater experience. It's the best one right in this area, but it is overall a poor example of a CGV (Korea's best movie theater chain). If you want to see a high-tech theater in action, head a little more towards the river and catch one of the 4D showings at CGV CineCity.
