Festivals near a subway station in Seoul and around
As of Oct 17 · 23 events
Without a car, festivals close to a subway station are the easiest to reach. From the festivals in Seoul, Gyeonggi and Incheon, we picked the ones within 800 m, in a straight line, of the nearest station.
Because it is a straight-line distance, the actual walk can be longer. Tap “Directions” on each festival page to see the route.
