Seoulid Adventures: The War Memorial of Korea

I am the kind of person who would prefer museums over theme parks (not because I'm not the adventurous type but) because I love finding out for myself how some things in the past, actually happened. I find it amusing to know interesting facts from the past that have impacted today's generation.

So, my Korea trip with my bestfriend will not be complete without visiting museums! I wasn't able to take a lot of pictures because I was so engrossed with the museum's beauty. And before I forget, this museum do not have any entrance fees!!! (that's a good reason for you to visit!). You can definitely give donations if you want to, but they don't charge for entrance fees.

The part that I love the most was the 3D short film of F-15. It was an exchange of bombs and bullets on air between flight jets of Korea and Japan. You have to see it!

 You will know that you are already within the vicinity of the war memorial if you see this. Walk a few meters from the subway station and you'll see this monument with a gallery inside.

A vessel that was used decades ago by the Koreans to guard the coast. 

  Some of the armored vehicles and planes were located outside the museum. They don't function anymore.

 *behind were lists of names of military soldiers who died as heroes of the country, for fighting with their life to preserve Korea and not be conquered by any country.

Visiting this place with my bestfriend was totally worth it. We need not pay for the entrance yet we get to enjoy and know more about Korea. This place is a must-see tourist spot! I can't emphasize enough how you should add this to your bucket list when you visit Korea. Korea is really good at preserving their culture and The war memorial of Korea is one of the many national treasures that they should absolutely be proud of.

To get to the War Memorial of Korea:
The easiest and only way I know is through the subway.
Get off at either Exit 11 or 12 of the Samgakji Station and walk straight from the exit and you'll see a sign saying The War Memorial of Korea.

If you can't figure it out, don't hesitate to ask the guards or tourist info staff around on subway stations. :)

love,
