Even for people that have been living in Korea for many years still have a hard time finding spots for dates. Well, good spots at least. Luckily, Korea has a bunch of romantic and exciting places for dating that offer great food, refreshing drinks, and many activities. There are a countless number of options for date spots in Korea, and Seoulistic has racked up 25 great hot spots for you love birds out there! (single people can enjoy too ;))

1.) Sky Rose Garden (하늘 로즈 가든)

“A Beautiful Rose Garden”

“Roses are red, violets are blue, you don’t have a place to go? Well Seoulistic has a place just for you!”

You will hit the jackpot  for sure by showing off your loved one this sweet date spot! In fact, you can hit two birds with one stone because this garden lies on top of a movie theater – but not just any movie theater! The “Sky Rose Garden” is located on the 8th floor of the Daehan Cinema (대한극장), one of the first movie theaters of Korea. So once you finish watching a movie and get on the elevator, don’t press the 1st floor! Hit the 8th floor and head up to the majestic Sky Rose Garden! Visitors can check out the many types of roses that the Sky Rose Garden has to offer. Also, the roses are switched weekly during the summer months, which provides a change of scenery each time for recurring visitors that come back. We recommend you check out this place during the evening, just when the sun is about to set. This place is 100% Seoulistic certified romantic!

      Nice! We knew there are music and art dwellers out there looking for a place to date. Also , you should check out piano cafes in the Hongdae area!

  2. #13 Ssamziegil Underground Workshop caught my eye the most on the list! I love making things and learning how to make things. For example, I never buy jewelry anymore because I’m always making it instead XD.
    Next one I liked on the list would be #24 Jeongja Dong Cafe Street. Where I live, you really don’t see alot of unique cafes. Only thing here, really, is Starbucks…

    They all look like interesting places to go! One day maybe! 🙂
