Myeongdong Station exits: which exit for the cathedral, Namsan and the shopping streets

Myeongdong Station is on Line 4, station 424, between Chungmuro and Hoehyeon. It sits under the south side of Myeongdong, one of Seoul's main shopping districts, and its exits are numbered 1 to 10.

Myeongdong shopping streets: exits 5 to 10

VisitKorea gives exits 5 and 6 as the way into Myeongdong and describes the shopping area as surrounding exits 5 to 10. If you are coming on Line 2 instead, Euljiro 1-ga Station's exits 5, 6 and 7 lead to the north side of the same district.

Myeongdong Cathedral: exit 8 or 9

Visit Seoul lists Myeongdong Cathedral as 590 metres from exit 8 and 425 metres from exit 9. Exit 12 of Euljiro 3-ga Station on Line 2 is about the same distance, 561 metres.

Namsan Cable Car: exit 3 or 4

The cable car to Namsan and N Seoul Tower starts about 571 metres from exit 4. The cable car company describes two walks. From exit 4, head toward the Hoehyeon intersection, turn left at the intersection and walk about five minutes to the Ohreumi incline elevator, which takes you up to the cable car. From exit 3, follow the alley keeping to the right and walk about seven or eight minutes uphill between the Pacific Hotel and a GS25 convenience store.
