Parc1

Overview

Parc1 is a high-rise mixed-use complex in Yeouido, Seoul. Designed by British architect Richard Rogers, it features prominent red exterior steel trusses and includes a 333-meter tower that forms a distinct part of the city skyline. Travelers visit primarily to view modern high-tech architecture and access the shopping and commercial spaces inside.

Getting There

From central Seoul, take the subway to Yeouido Station via Line 5 or Line 9. The journey from central hubs such as Seoul Station takes roughly 20 to 30 minutes.

Time to Allow

Set aside 1 to 2 hours to walk around the exterior, observe the architecture, and walk through the complex.

When to Go

Weekdays are less crowded than weekends, when commercial areas experience heavy foot traffic. Visiting in late afternoon allows you to see the red exterior framing in daylight and illuminated after dark.

What to Combine It With

  • Yeouido (0.4km): The surrounding island district and green spaces.
  • Yoido Full Gospel Church (0.6km): Located a short walk northwest.
  • 63 Building (1.3km): An established landmark tower on the riverfront.
  • Hongdae (area) (3.2km): Accessible across the river by subway or taxi.
