🎆 Best Spots for the Fireworks Festival (ft. Hidden Tips)
The most important information: the best spots I've personally visited and organized.
[ 1. For the Ultimate On-Site Experience! - Yeouido Hangang Park ]
If you want to feel the grandeur of the fireworks exploding with music in the front row, this is the place!
Tip: It's the most crowded, so you should arrive before 11 AM and be prepared to wait.
[ 2. Relaxed Viewing Across the River! - Ichon Hangang Park ]
Right across from Yeouido!
A traditional prime spot where you can see the entire fireworks display at a glance with the 63 Building.
Tip: It's more relaxed than Yeouido, but you should still arrive by 2-3 PM to secure a good spot.
[ 3. For the Seasoned Pros Who Know! - Sayooksin Park & Yongyangbongjeong Park ]
Hillside parks located in Noryangjin! Hidden gems loved by photographers, boasting a cool view.
Tip: They've become too famous now, so arriving early is essential! I especially recommend the view from Yongyangbongjeong Park.
⚠️ Important! Check Nodeul Island!
The view is really great, but public access may be restricted due to recent safety concerns. Be sure to check the relevant announcements before visiting!
[ 4. The Ultimate Luxury! - Hotels & Cruise Ships ]
Hangang River view hotel packages like Conrad Seoul and Hotel Naru MGallery, or a Hangang River cruise, are the best choices! Tip: It's expensive, but the reservation war starts months in advance, so you need to find out early.
🚗 Please... Realistic Advice on Transportation & Parking
Promise me you'll leave your car at home!
🚫 2025 Traffic Control Information
❌ Vehicle Control: Yeouidong-ro (south end of Mapo Bridge ~ in front of the 63 Building) will be completely blocked from 2 PM to 11 PM.
❌ No Parking: The Hangang Park parking lot will be closed, and the surrounding roads are immediate towing zones. You'll get a towing fee bomb if you try to save on parking fees!
🚇 Subway Tips (Just look at this!)
⚠️ Avoid Yeouinaru Station (Line 5)!
Right before and after the event, the station is likely to be closed or pass without stopping due to crowds. If you get off at the wrong station, you'll be trapped in the crowd.
✅ Use these stations!
✔️ Yeouido Station (Lines 5 & 9)
✔️ Mapo Station (Line 5)
✔️ Saetgang Station (Line 9)
Walking about 15-20 minutes from these stations is the fastest and safest way!
🎉 Essential Items List for Festival Pros
If you bring only these, you're a festival pro!

The river breeze is colder than you think. You don't want to catch a cold!
✔️ Portable Charger (Lifesaver)
Your smartphone battery is precious during the long wait.
✔️ Water & Simple Snacks (Prepare in Advance)
The convenience stores at the venue have huge lines. Buy them in advance!

Be a sensible citizen and take your trash back with you! Participate in the 'Clean Campaign'.
Now you have a sense of how to enjoy the 2025 Seoul International Fireworks Festival, right?
Just remember this! First, if you want a good spot, go early! Second, leave your car and use the subway! Third, be sure to take your trash back with you!
