Inside the Starfield COEX Mall is this amazing library. There were some international magazines at the entrance. Otherwise, most of the books were in Korean. You could pretend to read and take some selfies or just go straight to the second level where there's a cafe with mouth-watering cakes.

The National Museum of Korea (국립중앙박물관) was another amazing museum. The building itself was grand and well-designed. It was spacious enough to hold many different tourist groups.

I loved the National Museum of Korean Contemporary History (대한민국역사박물관). It contained a wealth of information about modern Korean history, from the 1860s to present. For me, the most fascinating of them all were the years after World War II which led to the separation of North Korea and South Korea.
