City Hall Station is a station on the Seoul Subway Line 1 and Seoul Subway Line 2. As its name suggests, Seoul City Hall (currently being rebuilt) is located right next to the station. Deoksugung, a historic palace of the Joseon dynasty, is on the other side of the boulevard named Taepyeongno.

Places

Seoul Museum of Art is also nearby. The museum has hosted many special exhibitions showing works of van Gogh, Monet, Rene Magritte and so on.[2] There are head offices of 3 daily-newspapers, Chosun Ilbo, Donga Ilbo and Kyunghyang Shinmun, near the city hall. Additionally, Seoul Plaza Hotel is located across city hall.
