COEX Convention & Exhibition Center

COEX Convention & Exhibition Center in Seoul, South Korea, located in Samseong-dong, covers a total area of 119,000 square meters and is one of the country’s premier convention centers. It houses over 260 retail outlets, along with cultural, entertainment, and leisure amenities such as a large aquarium, a major bookstore, a fashion mall, an arcade, and a state-of-the-art cinema with oversized screens. Nearby, Hyundai Department Store and COEX SKM Duty-Free Shop offer high-end brands and premium-priced goods. Beneath COEX, there is even a Kimchi Museum, showcasing a wide variety of Korean kimchi for visitors to explore and sample.

Although COEX is situated adjacent to the World Trade Center and boasts world-class exhibition facilities—capable of hosting up to twelve large-scale exhibitions simultaneously—it feels more like a commercial complex or a theme park. In virtually every travel guide to Seoul, COEX Convention & Exhibition Center is prominently recommended as a must-visit destination.
