Seoul expects heavy congestion and asks visitors to take the subway. Ttukseom Hangang Park car parks 3 and 4 can be held until 21:30 after the drone show, and the Ttukseom entry ramp is the busiest one.
How it works

Just walk in. Seoul runs the show as a free public event.
- 2Come early and claim grass
It's an open riverside park, so the view depends on where you sit (our tip).

Rain or strong wind can delay or cancel the show. Seoul posts updates on seouldroneshow.com and @seouldroneshow_official.
- 4Expect no public Wi-Fi
Public Wi-Fi inside the Hangang park is switched off from 12:00 to 21:30 on the event day, so download your map first.

Convenience-store ramyeon, bike hire and the river path. Get there in daylight and pick your spot.
