Galleria shopping centre and big brand stores, Gangnam.

Galleria

Gangnam & Southern Seoul


One of Seoul's most luxurious department stores. If you want to play Audrey Hepburn staring wistfully into Tiffany’s, don a Helen Kaminski hat, try on a Stella McCartney dress or slip into a pair of Jimmy Choos, the east wing of fashion icon Galleria is the place to be.

Dozens of top fashion-designer stores are packed into the two Galleria buildings, the west wing of which is covered in glass discs that turn psychedelic at night.
