Creatrip offers tickets for the 2026 Seoul Outdoor Library Night Tour for international visitors. Availability is limited and reservations are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, so we recommend booking early.
This guided walking tour brings together books, relaxation, city walks, and cultural experiences in one evening. It’s a great way for first-time visitors to experience a different side of Seoul.
The tour takes you through three of Seoul’s most iconic outdoor library spaces: Gwanghwamun, Cheonggyecheon, and Seoul Plaza. Along the way, you’ll experience Seoul’s unique outdoor reading culture while exploring some of the city’s most memorable urban spaces.
Each participant will also receive a welcome kit, including a logo plastic tote bag, bottled water, a snack kit with traditional Korean treats, and Seoul Outdoor Library merchandise such as a keyring or tape.

Seoul Outdoor Library

Seoul Outdoor Library is a unique reading program created by Seoul Library, bringing books, public spaces, and culture together outdoors.

Instead of staying inside a traditional library, you can enjoy books in some of Seoul’s most iconic urban spaces while discovering the city’s history, culture, and scenery.

As the program takes place in the evening, you can also enjoy a different side of Seoul at night as you walk through the city, read, listen, and unwind.
