Where to Go on a Rainy Day | Indoor Spots in Seoul

Seoul is the capital of the Republic of Korea and a popular tourist destination in many people's minds! This city blends South Korea's traditional history with modernity, creating the bustling phenomenon of Seoul today.

Speaking of Seoul, you probably immediately think of shopping! Seoul has a unique fashion and shopping culture, mouth-watering street food, and thrilling amusement venues. Whether you're traveling with a partner or on a family trip, there's definitely an activity here for you.

However, most streets in Seoul lack shelter. Some of the most famous shopping streets, like Hongdae and Myeongdong, and famous amusement parks like Everland are outdoors. While you can enjoy Seoul's natural weather at these outdoor attractions and shopping festivals, you're bound to encounter a few rainy days.

So, where should you go on a rainy day?

First, let's understand Seoul's weather. Seoul's annual precipitation is mostly concentrated between late June and mid-September. During this period, Seoul experiences about 2 to 5 thunderstorms per month. July has the most rainfall.

If you plan to visit Seoul during this time, be sure to take rain precautions and don't let a rainy day ruin your great time in Seoul. Of course, other months have less rainfall, but don't let your guard down and be ready for rain at any time!

So what can you do on a rainy day to enrich your Seoul trip? Now let Go City list them one by one.

The large amusement park Lotte World is divided into indoor and outdoor areas. It has over 50 different rides. From adrenaline-pumping roller coasters to challenging ice skating, Lotte World always has a way to keep you entertained. Going to Lotte World, you don't need to panic even on a rainy day. You can first experience the indoor rides and move to the outdoor areas after the rain stops. Both indoor and outdoor areas have very fun and thrilling attractions, so the rain won't spoil your mood.

Some indoor rides include a carousel with 64 white horses, a swinging pirate ship, a bungee project, a hot air balloon ride over the park, as well as a whimsical fairy tale kingdom and the roller coaster "French Revolution".

Additionally, Lotte World is connected to a shopping mall, making it very convenient. You can start shopping without even leaving the same building. But remember, if you leave the amusement park and want to re-enter, inform the staff when leaving so they can give you instructions for re-entry.

Spending a rainy day here lets you enjoy both the excitement of the amusement park and the joy of shopping, killing two birds with one stone! Admission to Lotte World is included in the Go City pass. With the pass, you can use the QR code you've obtained to enter Lotte World, but remember to make a reservation! With the Go City pass, you can also enter the Folk Museum to see miniature models narrating Korean history.

Inspired by popular Korean dramas, school uniform rental is a fun and popular activity in Seoul. Wearing a school uniform on the rides at Lotte World is especially fantastic. In Lotte World's fairy tale setting, wearing youthful school uniforms looks great in any photo. Even locals come to Lotte World wearing school uniforms. With the Go City pass, you can rent a school uniform for a full day from Ehwa School Uniform Rental, then wear it to Lotte World to enjoy its many rides and thrills, adding a unique flavor.
