On your 3rd day in Seoul, you can explore the lively and youthful shopping streets of Hongdae and visit the Trick Eye museums before you head to the airport.

Love/Trick Eye/Ice Museum

Trick Eye museums are very popular in South Korea. The museum features interactive 2D paintings and has an illusion of being in 3D depending on the camera angle. Love Museum is also a trick eye museum but features adult paintings and displays. Please note that minors are not allowed to go inside.

You can also experience -8 degree temperature at Ice Museum. This is a small ice gallery which features ice sculptures, ice slide and other ice installations.

You can get a single ticket to have access to these three museums and they are located in one building.
